Veterinary science has traditionally viewed stress as a secondary concern. However, behavioral research reveals that chronic stress alters physiology at a cellular level. In cats, idiopathic cystitis (inflammation of the bladder with no known cause) is now understood to be directly triggered by environmental stressors like moving furniture or the presence of a neighborhood cat. In pigs, tail-biting—once dismissed as a "vice"—is now recognized as a behavioral indicator of protein deficiency, overcrowding, or poor air quality. The behavior is the symptom; the veterinarian who treats only the wound misses the failing ventilation system.
