The violent and unpredictable nature of seizures can cause severe emotional distress to owners of affected pets.
It is therefore important that clients with epileptic animals are supported by their veterinary surgeon. A relationship based on mutual respect and a sound understanding of the basic principles of epilepsy are the key components of successful management. In this course we will focus on clinical decision making, common problems, and recent developments in canine and feline epilepsy.
Past Participant:
The Epilepsy in Dogs and Cats was a really useful and satisfying course. It was easy to follow, concise and had great case studies with even better feedback on discussion boards. Definitely useful for every clinician to help those animals presenting actively seizuring or for treatment of epilepsy!
