World first, RVC finds cognitive impairments in dogs with epilepsy
A series of pioneering research studies from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) into dogs with epilepsy have revealed that: Dogs with epilepsy find it harder to obey commands, are slower to learn new tricks, have spatial memory deficits and are easily distracted. Aversive training methods, such as bark-activated collars, prong collars and verbal punishment are associated with poor trainability and their use should be avoided. Some anti-epileptic drugs (the medications commonly used to treat seizures) were found to worsen the cognitive impairment of dogs with epilepsy. Dogs with greater exposure to training activities, including obedience classes, agility, and gun-dog training, were found to be associated with higher trainability and have fewer signs of cognitive dysfunction.You can’t teach epileptic dogs new tricks?
