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.
