Featuring

Urinary stone disease and management is one of the most common causes of specialty referrals. Intervention for stone removal has traditionally been limited to surgical cystotomies, however, minimally invasive techniques have been developed for better rates of stone retrieval, quicker recoveries and are associated with decreased rates of stone recurrence. This lecture will review common stone compositions of dogs and cats, describe medical management and preventative strategies and offer options for minimally invasive procedures for removal. We will also review interventional techniques for management of intramural ectopic ureters and urinary incontinence.

How to perform a Neurological exam, Localization for seizure disorders and differentials for epilepsy. Treatment options for seizure disorders will then be discussed. Canine cognitive dysfunction, differentials, and treatment options.
