Dogs, like humans, are living longer, but also like humans may not always age successfully. Increasingly owners expect good healthcare for their senior pets, which are considered, quite rightly, a member of the family – a dismissive “he’s just getting old” is no longer an acceptable explanation.

This course covers the increasingly common presentation of neurological deficits in the geriatric pet. Starting with a review of the neurological examination and key points in history taking, before moving on to cover the latest updates on treatment of cognitive dysfunction and the correct approach and work-up when presented with ataxia, weakness and seizures in an animal with multiple comorbidities. Case-based examples will be used throughout and delegates are encouraged to bring any appropriate cases for discussion.

Topics to be covered include:

A general approach to neurological conditions in the geriatric pet – history taking, neurological examination, considering the comorbidities
Cognitive dysfunction – how much can we do to help?
Approach to seizures in the older pet
Approach to the ataxic older pet – spinal diseases, vestibular and cerebellar disorders
Approach to the weak older pet – neuromuscular diseases
