Veterinary science, therefore, must now address the "why" behind the "what." Treating the colitis with anti-diarrheals without addressing the separation anxiety is a failure of medicine. The veterinarian must become a behavioral diagnostician, identifying environmental triggers and emotional states as root causes of physical pathology. This integrative model moves beyond the purely biomedical to a biopsychosocial framework, recognizing that a calm, enriched, and socially appropriate environment is as therapeutic as any drug.
