56 Changing the Landscape

This week we talk to Dr Tom Cardy, staff clinician in neurology and neurosurgery here at the RVC about Changing the Landscape of Canine Idiopathic Epilepsy. It might be a mouthful, though we are not talking just about the treatment of the patients, though how we consider first line therapy, are there adjuncts to use and highlight the importance of not only focusing on the disease, the patient, though also the owner and local vet in providing this care. Tom is very patient with me, though he is a patient man. Enjoy.
