Neurology in a Nutshell

Event Details

This 4 hour course on Neurology will give veterinary professionals the most up to date knowledge to treat neurological conditions in small animals. The four topics covered include: Intervertebral disc disease: IVDD is the most common cause of vertebral column pain and myelopathies in dogs and also can occur in cats. Localizing, diagnosing, and managing intracranial disease: Intracranial neurolocalization to one of the four brain regions enables a streamlined approach to subsequent generation of differential diagnosis lists and treatment plans. Chronic seizure management: Epilepsy is a life-long disease that is also the most common neurological condition observed in dogs and cats. Vestibular dysfunction: Vestibular disease in dogs and cats spans from benign to serious conditions. Effective localization within the vestibular system is the first critical step in determining a patient's diagnosis. Participants will learn from Susan Arnold, an Assistant Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Minnesota. She is also a Diplomate American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (Neurology and Neurosurgery)
