Canine and Feline Dementia

This book offers a comprehensive overview of canine and feline dementia, covering its epidemiology, diagnostics, and treatment options in detail.

The book Canine and Feline Dementia provides an in-depth exploration of the epidemiology, diagnostics, therapy, and molecular foundations of cognitive dysfunction syndrome in dogs and cats. The initial chapters focus on the clinical manifestations of dementia in these animals, examining the medical causes and the variability in how the disease presents itself. This comprehensive overview aims to bridge the gap between clinical experiences and the latest scientific findings, making complex information accessible to readers.

In the fourth chapter, the text introduces the dog as a valuable model for understanding the progression of human Alzheimer’s disease. By doing so, it highlights the similarities between canine and human cognitive decline, offering insights into potential treatment strategies. The book also delves into the neuropathological characteristics of dementia in both species, providing a thorough understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play.

Additionally, Canine and Feline Dementia discusses modern diagnostic techniques that leverage advancements in neuroproteomics. It reviews both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options, as well as the risk and protective factors associated with dementia in pets. This resource is designed for veterinarians, researchers, educators, and students specializing in veterinary neurology and medicine, making it an essential addition to the field.
