Epilepsy in Dogs & Cats TimeOnline

Increase your confidence by learning how basic theoretical concepts can be used to make individualised clinical decisions for the epileptic patient.

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 pronlems, and recent developments in canine and feline epilepsy.
