• Resumen

  • EVERY 100th patient appearing on the doorstep of a busy first-opinion veterinary practice will be presented with seizures and two-thirds of these patients will have epilepsy (Kearsley-Fleet and others 2013, Heske and others 2014). Despite the frequency in occurrence and a plethora of published studies, clinicians remain puzzled regarding the correct terminology, how to diagnose the different types of epilepsy, how and when to implement best - practice treatment and when treatment adjustments are necessary.
