    133 What's new in CCDS – Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring

    Episode 133 – What's new in CCDS – Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring

    In this episode, I talk through the 2026 Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring of CCDS.

    As a caregiver of a senior dog myself, this is a topic very close to my heart, so when these guidelines came out, I had to dig into them to get the very latest information on CCDS.

    Written by a group of amazing experts, including Behaviour, Neurology and Medicine Specialists as well as a number of General Practitioners, these guidelines provide a framework for diagnosis and monitoring of CCDS, highlight the challenges associated with this and look towards new developments in the future.

    Have a listen as I provide you with my Top 10 Summary points of the guidelines and how they relate to practical clinical cases and what I have experienced with my own patients.

    Here is a link to the Paper:

The Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome Working Group guidelines for diagnosis and monitoring of canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome.

  • 132 Paroxetine

    132 Paroxetine
    Apr 27 2026

    Episode 132 – Paroxetine

    Paroxetine is a really useful SSRI that is quite commonly prescribed by Veterinary Behaviour Specialists or veterinarians with a strong interest in Behaviour Medicine but is possibly sometimes overlooked by general practitioners.

    So, I thought we'd do a bit of a deep dive into paroxetine and the things you, as professionals, need to know about this medication.

    Here's what you'll learn:

    · Indications for and uses of paroxetine in Veterinary Medicine (and some super easy ways to remember them).

    · Why paroxetine might be a good choice for Canine Separation Related Behaviours

    · When paroxetine might be a better choice than fluoxetine (if legally possible – the dreaded cascade !!).

    · Potential drug interactions and contraindications.

    This is a bit of a whistlestop tour into paroxetine but if you'd like to dive even deeper, I've got you covered – My PSYCHOACTIVE course contains everything you need to know:

    https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive

    And, if you'd like to learn how paroxetine and other Veterinary Psychopharmaceuticals can be applied practically, then The Behaviour Case Collective, where we take a deep-dive into one real-life Behaviour Case every month, might be just the thing for you!

  • 131 15-minute Speed Coaching with Charlotte Lewis – Hormones…A Case Discussion

    131 15-minute Speed Coaching with Charlotte Lewis – Hormones…A Case Discussion
    Apr 20 2026

    Episode 131 – 15-minute Speed Coaching with Charlotte Lewis – Hormones…A Case Discussion

    Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals!

    The rules of the game are as follows:

    · Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.

    · Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…

    · Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!

    In this episode, I chat to Canine Dog Trainer and Behaviourist, Charlotte Lewis, about her own dog who poses a number of behavioural and physical health challenges in her adolescence.

    Have a listen as we chat through how Giardia duodenalis infection as a puppy, hormonal fluctuations during her first heat cycle and her own individual behavioural make-up contribute to some of the behavioural challenges she is experiencing.

    I absolutely loved chatting to Charlotte, who is not only a fantastic dog trainer, but also a wonderful caregiver to this lovely, sensitive girl.

    If you'd like to book a 30-minute Vet-Vet or Vet-Pet Care Professional Consultation with me, you can do that right here:

    https://calendly.com/trinityvet/teams-and-professionals
