Aging Gracefully: Update on Canine and Feline Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome

In part due to the excellent veterinary care that we deliver to our patients, we are presented with more geriatric cats and dogs now than we were 10 years ago. Most of us didn’t learn much about how to recognize and treat cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) in dogs and cats. In this session, attendees will learn the most up to date prevention strategies and treatments of CDS in dogs and cats.

In this webinar, Lisa Radosta, DVM, DACVB, will cover:

1. The most common clinical signs of CDS
2. The most commonly used treatments
3. How non-medical treatments can be effective in the management of CDS patients
