Summary

This talk will focus on clinical histories, patient signalment, neurologic exam findings, diagnostics and treatment plans for acute myelopathies secondary to disc herniations in the neck and lower spine. We will focus on canine patients but will also discuss feline intervertebral disc disease. The goals of this webinar are to help you become familiar with different histories, clinical presentations, signalments/ breed predispositions, and neurologic exam findings of patients with intervertebral disc disease. Hopefully, this will help you become comfortable when guiding owners to appropriate treatment recommendations when considering Neurology referrals, as surgical options for IVDD can be time sensitive.
