Veterinary Psychopharmacology is a specialized field of animal healthcare/veterinary medicine that focuses on the use of psychotropic medications to treat mental health disorders in animals. It is a rapidly growing field, as mental health issues in animals are increasingly being recognized and treated. Veterinary Psychopharmacology involves the use of medications to treat a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, aggression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The medications used in Veterinary Psychopharmacology are typically the same as those used in human medicine, but are often tailored to the specific needs of the animal.
Veterinary Psychopharmacology is a complex field, requiring specialized knowledge and training. Veterinary Psychopharmacologists must be familiar with the pharmacology of the medications used, as well as the behavior and physiology of the animal being treated. In addition, they must be able to assess the mental health of the animal and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Some companies in the Veterinary Psychopharmacology market include Elanco Animal Health, Zoetis, Merck Animal Health, and Bayer Animal Health. Show Less Read more
