      Behavior can change as a result of medical problems or physiological changes. If shelter operations, behavior, and/or medical staff identify behaviors that may have an underlying medical cause, they can be addressed immediately, relieving suffering and increasing the adoptability of the animal. Conversely, if medical conditions that cause or exacerbate problematic behaviors are missed, time may be wasted on training or attempted behavior modification, thus prolonging suffering and time spent in the shelter. At the same time, a complex relationship can exist between physical conditions or disease and behavior, so careful attention must be given to how the two systems (mind and body) affect each other.

Schematic illustration of how genetics, the environment, and medical conditions or disease processes all contribute to behavior.

      A variety of different disease processes can cause and/or contribute to the worsening of both maladaptive and malfunctional behaviors. Many individuals will simply differ in how readily they react to stimuli, the degree to which they respond, and how long they stay emotionally aroused. These differences often represent normal individual variations in temperament and are also affected by an individual’s experience during development.
