The owner reports that weaning down to one tablet daily was unsuccessful, resulting in worsening behaviour. Leo is currently on one and a half tablets daily, which is more effective. The primary behavioural concern is excessive barking at people walking past the house and at the neighbour's fence. The behaviour is worse in the mornings and afternoons and when the owner is present. Pulls on the lead towards other dogs, but is playful and social at the dog park. Past mouthing behaviour when anxious has resolved with fluoxetine and training with a dog behaviourist. The owner has implemented strategies from the behaviourist, such as having visitors get down low, which has been effective. The owner also notes Leo shakes her head and scratches her ears after barking.Examination:BAR: Bright, alert, and responsive. Anxious and jumpy during the consult.Eyes: Bright and clear, no discharge.Ears: Both ear canals appear erythematous, more so in the right ear. No discharge visualised externally.Nose: Clear, no discharge.LNs: Submandibular lymph nodes palpate normally.CVS: No murmur or arrhythmia auscultated.Abdominal palpation: Soft and non-painful on palpation.Skin: Small palpable lump on the left chest wall, reported by the owner to be scar tissue from a previous mass removal.Musculoskeletal: Good range of motion in front limbs.Laboratory:Ear cytology (both ears): No bacteria or yeast identified. Mild inflammation noted.Assessment:1. Behavioural anxiety: Differentials include generalised anxiety, separation anxiety, territorial aggression.2. Bilateral otitis externa (inflammatory): Differentials include atopic dermatitis, food allergy, contact irritation.Treatment:Fluoxetine 30mg once daily to be continued.Steroid ear cleaning solution to be prepared for collection.Plan:- Continue fluoxetine 30mg (one and a half tablets) once daily. Dispensed 5 months' supply.- Prepare a steroid-based ear cleaning solution for weekly use to manage inflammation. Owner to collect when ready.- Advised owner to monitor ears for increased redness or any brown/yellow discharge, which may indicate a secondary infection.- Continue with current behavioural management and training strategies.- Discussed situational anti-anxiety medication as a future option if needed for escalating behaviour, but not required at this stage.- Recheck due in March for annual vaccination.Rx: fluoxetine 20mg tablets ..Mitte: …56 tablets Directions: Give 1.5 tablets orally once a day.
