The first thing to do is to make an appointment with the vet. This is a good idea even if you can't see anything physically wrong. Sometimes changes in behaviour are the first symptoms of a problem that might need medical treatment, so the earlier you go the better.

Once the vet has given the all-clear you can think about next steps.

Choose some remedies

The Bach Original Flower Remedies are specially formulated to help animals (and of course people) find the positive side of themselves. Whatever is in their way - fear, despondency, uncertainty - can find a solution in the Bach Original Flower Remedies.

Below are just some of the remedies that could be used on animals. Keep in mind that much like humans, they too have very complex emotions and may benefit from using any one of the 38!

• Animals from rescue homes or with difficult backgrounds can suffer from delayed shock and trauma. The same applies to animals that have been in an accident - while animals that have lost loved companions can suffer from grief and a sense of loss. The remedy for all these states is Star of Bethlehem.
• Much animal behaviour, including some forms of aggression, is based on the animal's fear of something specific, such as people or loud noises - or the trip to the vet's. Other animals just seem naturally timid and shy. The remedy for these states is Mimulus.
• Other animals are not so much shy as lacking in confidence. They seem hesitant in the face of challenges. They can be helped with Larch.
