An examination of findings in canine patients with brain problems – A live Lecture 21st April 7pm
£30.00
IAAT Member £20
This is a 1 hour live lecture by Max Foreman: Max Foreman is an EBVS® European Specialist and RCVS Recognised Specialist in Veterinary Neurology. Patients with brain disease may present because of changes to the way they walk or difficulty in walking, and can easily be confused for patients with spinal or orthopaedic disease. By asking the right questions and recognising other clinical signs that the owner might have noticed, as well as specific features of the gait, it should be possible to recognise early signs of brain disease in these patients. In this lecture, we will discuss the common features of different types of brain problems, to enable you to recognise them earlier and signpost to the appropriate care.
