What Are the Pharmacodynamic Effects?

• Modulation of the Nervous System: Passionflower works by increasing GABA levels in the brain, which reduces neuronal activity and induces relaxation.
• Neurotransmitter Balancing: Passionflower can also increase serotonin and dopamine levels, contributing to improved mood.
• Antioxidant Properties: The presence of flavonoids provides antioxidant properties, thereby reducing oxidative stress.

Passionflower is commonly administered to treat various types of anxiety in animals, including separation anxiety and stress related to vet visits. Its effectiveness may be comparable to certain prescription anti-anxiety medications, but with a more limited side effect profile.

We also offerthe Soin-et-nature Piloselle herbal extract from the Phytoprevent laboratory at the best price in our online pharmacy.

How Does Anxiety Manifest in Animals?

What causes anxiety in dogs?

Anxiety in dogs has a heterogeneous etiology, characterized by diverse symptoms and varying degrees of severity. The most common causes include separation anxiety, specific fears (thunderstorms, fireworks, etc.), a history of trauma, and factors associated with aging. Indicative symptoms include:

• Barking, whining, and growling
• Trembling
• Excessive salivation
• Emotional urination and defecation
• Licking the lips
• Excessive yawning
• Panting
• Crouched posture
• Dilated pupils
• Tail tucked between the legs
• Body stiffening

What causes anxiety in cats?

Cats, being territorial and sensitive animals, are prone to developing anxiety in response to various environmental stimuli or changes. Anxiety can be either intermittent or chronic and may result from factors such as moving, trauma, the owner’s absence, or interaction with other animals. Common triggers include the introduction of a new element, traumatic events, isolation (owner’s absence), excessive handling, and a lack of socialization (inadequate socialization during early life). Indicative symptoms include:

• Compulsive Hair Loss: Excessive licking leading to hair loss, particularly on the belly and thighs.
• Digestive Disorders: Diarrhea and loss of appetite.
• Self-harm: Biting to the point of bleeding or self-inflicted scratches.
• Depression: A tendency toward isolation and social withdrawal.
• Urinary Tract Infection: Frequent and painful urination, sometimes outside the litter box.
• Atypical Marking: Inappropriate use of hooves or urination outside the stall.

What causes anxiety in horses?

Horses are creatures of routine, and any unexpected change in their environment can trigger stress. The causes can vary, ranging from boredom and dietary changes to environmental factors such as transport or extreme weather. When a horse is unable to adapt to a new or changing situation, its brain begins to perceive it as a threat, thereby triggering stress responses. The autonomic nervous system is particularly affected, leading to dysregulation of vital functions such as breathing and blood circulation.

This stress can manifest in both physiological and behavioral ways:

• Increased Cardiac and Respiratory Activity: Disruption of the autonomic nervous system.
• Digestive Disorders: Potential for abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal problems.
• Aggression or Apathy: Variability in emotional reactions.
• Pica: Ingestion of non-edible items such as litter or wood.
• Tic-like behaviors: Such as nibbling on the feeder, sucking in air, grinding teeth, and shifting from one foot to the other.
• Long-Term Health Consequences: Development of stomach ulcers, onset of colic, diarrhea, and a weakened immune system.
