Course outline
The approach to the neurological patient is often perceived as challenging and nowhere is this more relevant than in cats with neurological disease. During this one day course we will discuss your diagnostic and therapeutic approach to feline patients with neurological disease. We will look at the major medical and surgical feline neurology disorders that are relevant to current veterinary practice; in particular those conditions that are specific to the cat.
The course is designed for you if you are a clinician in practice who wants a greater understanding of feline neurology. It will also be useful to those in referral clinics. The use of case-based material and interactive discussions will ensure this is a practical and relevant course that will provide you with information and approaches that you can use directly with your patients in practice. By the end of the day you should have a thorough understanding of the approach to and therapeutic options for the major feline neurological diseases.
Specific areas to be covered include:
• The neurological examination for your feline patients
• Specific diagnostic techniques for cats
• Epileptic seizures- what should you do?
• Vestibular disease
• Brain and Cranial Nerve Disorders
• How to approach the paralysed cat
• Breed specific neurological disorders you need to know about
