Starting out in week one we began light reassured on our topic, which we decided was animal OCD, or more specifically OCD in domesticated animals. We found out that OCD in animals was thought to just be traits of the species or breed of animal, such as over grooming cats, or overly active horses. Another fact we discovered was that it is harder to diagnose animals due to the facts that animals are unable to talk to humans, or express and feeling in a way similar to humans. So one problem we could tackle would be the lack of testing that is standardized across the breeds and species. Another problem is lack of knowing ion the subject and the general lack of knowledge among animal owners. We could spread awareness and make an impact that way, or we could partner, for lack of a better word, with a veterinary clinic or just a vet to work towards finding a treatment for all domestic animals (or most species) or we could narrow down our project to just one animal and work with them.
