Spotting and Managing Neuromuscular Weakness in Dogs and Cats with Dr Laurent Garosi

In this webinar, participants will learn how not to miss the key neurological signs suggestive of generalised neuromuscular weakness and how they differ from spinal disorder. Video examples of dogs and cats with various degree of neuromuscular weakness will be used to illustrate the red flags suggestive of neuromuscular weakness with emphasis on evaluation of the extensor tone and strength of the flexor withdrawal. The discussion will then move to how to establish a logical step-wise diagnostic approach to neuromuscular disorders as a whole. This webinar will also discuss common neuromuscular conditions including acquired myasthenia gravis, polyradiculoneuritis, polymyositis and hypokalaemia in cats.
