Behavior Problems following Hospitalization

It is very common that a pet dog or cat may experience some conflicts when it returns home after being admitted in the veterinary hospital. This is due to the scent of the other pets may cling on to your pet. If you have a group of more than one pet, the absence of one pet may also create conflicts among other pets. Isolating the returned pet for 1 week may be good solution to solve the conflicts. Make sure that your pet feels comfort during isolation.

  1. Behavior Problems Following Hospitalization

  2. What you and Fluffy are experiencing is common and normal in many households. A dog or cat that has been admitted to a veterinary hospital or kennel facility may experience conflict with other house pets when it returns home. The scent of other pets, people, medications disinfectants, and perhaps even the trace of an anesthetic may cling to its coat for days after it is released. The response of housemates may include fear and aggression.

  3. The absence of one pet, even temporarily, can disrupt the established social order of the remaining pets. If the removed pet has been the most dominant, a lower-ranking pet may use its absence to advance its own social rank. The leader’s absence may also allow changes in the use of territory by each pet and individual attention from the owner.

  4. A conflict may result when the former leader returns. Conflicts are usually minor if the separation has been relatively brief (less than 1 or 2 weeks). As a general guideline, the longer your pet has been away, the more gradually it should be reintroduced.
