VTMED 6575
Complementary Therapies for Dogs and Cats with Neurologic Disorders: Principles and Practice

Course information provided by the 2017-2018 Catalog.

This course builds on the introductory neurology lecture series offered as part of VTMED VTMED 5510, Animal Health and Disease Part II. This course will be heavily case-based, and provide students with opportunities to hone their skills in small animal clinical neurology. In addition, commonly used complementary therapies (acupuncture, herbal medicine, etc) will be discussed in the context of treating neurologic patients. The students will be encouraged to develop diagnostic and treatment plans and to critically evaluate the pros and cons of offering both conventional therapies, including discussing the evidence (of lack thereof) of efficacy.
