Decision-making for animal outcome, both positive and negative, is a complex process that may involve the establishment of the soundness of an animal’s health and/or behavior. We will discuss parameters, approaches, and challenges for both medical and behavior evaluators which may sometimes be sitting on the opposite end of the stick. Case studies will demonstrate the processes involved in arriving at a decision for the appropriate outcome. The discussion is aimed to provide not just concepts but practical steps in treating and evaluating the entire animal.
