Important K9 Epilepsy Webinar by AKC Canine Health Foundation - Please Register!

Mark Your Calendars! An important Canine Health Webinar by the AKC Canine Health Foundation is coming up in June for caregivers of dogs with epilepsy (epi-dogs) featuring a veterinary neurology expert.

The webinar - "Studying Epilepsy in Dogs: Research Approaches and Insights" - features guest speaker Karen Muñana, DVM, MS, DACVIM (Neurology), and member of the International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force of The Companion Animal Epilepsy Research Lab at North Carolina State University-College of Veterinary Medicine (NCSU-CVM). This is my go-to resource for all things Canine Epilepsy. If you are a hu-parent/foster/caregiver of an Epi-dog, or a rescue/shelter caring for dog(s) with epilepsy, this is a must-see!

According to the AKC Canine Health Foundation, "Epilepsy is the most common chronic neurological disorder in dogs, yet important questions remain about inherited risk and how breed-specific studies can advance understanding of the disease. Join us on June 23 at 7:00 PM ET for a webinar exploring how a research team at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital investigates idiopathic epilepsy within breeds, including approaches to defining prevalence, characterizing clinical signs, evaluating heritability, and collecting data to support future genetic studies. Learn how these studies may help support future advances in diagnosis, management, and breeding strategies."
