Neurology and feline behavioral disorders

WEBINAR (12/13)

Conducted by: Dr. Vet. Med. Martyna Woszczyło
Duration: 60 minutes

We invite you to participate in a new, comprehensive training series dedicated to clinical behavioral medicine. The program has been created for veterinarians who want to better understand the relationship between a patient's behavior and their health status.

This is a practical training series that will help answer one of the key questions in daily clinical practice: is the observed problem behavioral in nature, or does its source lie in a somatic illness?

During the webinar, we will focus on the impact of neurological diseases on cat behavior.

We will discuss, among other things, sudden aggression, avoiding touch, hiding, irritability, decreased activity, changes in movement patterns, litter box problems, sleep disturbances, episodes of disorientation, unusual reactions to stimuli, and behaviors resembling compulsive disorders. Special attention will be paid to recognizing subtle symptoms that may suggest the need for neurological diagnostics.

During the webinar, we will discuss:

– The impact of nervous system diseases, neuropathic pain, and sensory disturbances on cat behavior

– Irritability, avoiding touch, aggression, withdrawal, hiding, and decreased activity

– Changes in movement, litter box use, grooming, and social relationships

– Seizures, seizure-like episodes, and unusual reactions to stimuli

– Cognitive deficits, disorientation, sleep disturbances, and activity changes

– Situations where a symptom described as behavioral may be a sign of neurological disease

Additional information about the webinar

The webinar is intended exclusively for veterinarians.

In all webinars, the common thread is a clinical perspective on the patient: when a change in behavior should prompt further somatic diagnostics, how not to miss pain or chronic discomfort, and how to combine medical and behavioral approaches.

The training will provide veterinarians with practical knowledge necessary for accurate differentiation of somatic problems from primary behavioral ones, immediately directing diagnostics onto the right track.

This is the twelfth webinar in the "Behavioral Medicine in a Nutshell" series.
