What are the pharmacodynamic effects?

• Nervous system modulation: Passionflower acts by increasing GABA levels in the brain, thereby reducing neuronal activity and inducing relaxation.
• Neurotransmitter balancing: Passionflower can also increase serotonin and dopamine levels, helping to improve mood.
• Antioxidant properties: The presence of flavonoids confers antioxidant properties, reducing oxidative stress.

Passionflower is commonly administered for various types of anxiety in animals, including separation and stress related to veterinary visits. Its efficacy can be comparable to some prescribed anti-stress medications, but with a more limited side-effect profile.

How anxiety manifests itself in animals

What causes anxiety in dogs?

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

• Barking, whining and growling
• Trembling
• Hypersalivation
• Emotional urination and defecation
• Licking of the lips
• Exaggerated yawning
• Gasping
• Low posture
• Dilated pupils
• Tail between legs
• Body stiffening

What causes anxiety in cats?

Cats, being territorial and sensitive animals, are likely to develop anxiety states in response to various environmental stimuli or changes. Anxiety can be either intermittent or chronic, and can result from factors such as moving, trauma, owner absence, or interaction with other animals. Triggering situations are often the introduction of a new element, traumatic events, isolation (absence of the owner), excessive handling and socialization deficit (lack of adequate socialization during youth). Indicative symptoms are

• Compulsive depilation: excessive licking leading to hair loss, particularly on the belly and thighs.
• Digestive disorders: Diarrhea and anorexia.
• Self-mutilation: Biting to the point of bleeding or self-inflicted scratches.
• Despondency: Tendency towards isolation and social withdrawal.
• Urinary infection: Frequent, painful urination, sometimes outside the litter box.
• Atypical marking: Inappropriate use of claws or urinary marking outside the litter box.

What causes anxiety in horses?

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

This stress can result in both physiological and behavioral manifestations:

• Increased Cardiac and Respiratory Activity: Disturbance of the autonomic nervous system.
• Digestive disorders: possible abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal problems.
• Aggressiveness or Apathy: Variability in emotional reactions.
• Eating abnormalities: Ingestion of inedible items such as litter or wood.
• Tic behaviors: such as chewing its food bowl, sucking air, grinding its teeth, and rocking from one foot to the other.
• Long-Term Health Consequences: Formation of gastric ulcers, onset of colic, diarrhea, lowered immune system.
