Join the Amys as they discuss Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS), a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by gradual and progressive cognitive decline in dogs and cats, similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans.
The Amys discuss cognition, and how changes in awareness and responsiveness to stimuli impact our pet's memory and behavior. They cover the physical changes that occur in the brain that lead to decline, and, the intimate connection between pain and systemic illness.
What is inflammaging? Can I screen my dog for CDS at home? What management strategies can help to keep aging pets safe and comfortable? Can a combination of canine neuro-specific diets and supplements, enrichment, and training impact the progression of the disease?
Learn how positive changes you make today can improve longterm outcomes of CDS. Grab a cocktail and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz during episode 8 of the Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast.
