Course Information:
Drs. Dickinson and Volk will review new insights into canine epilepsy. Epilepsy can be defined as a brain disease, which is defined by recurrent seizure activity. Apart from seizures, dogs can experience certain comorbidities which can significantly influence the quality of life of the pet and the owner. Novel epilepsy management options to address these comorbidities will be discussed in detail.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the basic classification and underlying causes for seizures and how it impacts case management at a practitioner level.
- Recognize the more common clinical management mistakes that may result in poor seizure control.
- Develop a more global view of seizure control based on a few simple principles that can be applied in most situations.
- Appreciate the importance of clearly defining the clinical problem to manage canine epilepsy and its comorbidities appropriately.
- Appreciate the importance of comorbidities in canine epilepsy and their impact on quality of life of the pet and the owners.
- Understand the pharmacology and clinical applications of antiseizure drugs used in veterinary practice.
