Disfunción cognitiva en gatos: ¿qué podemos hacer para mejorar su calidad de vida?

The increased life expectancy of our feline patients has brought with it a growing and often underdiagnosed clinical challenge: Cat Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CCD). Many owners assume that behavioral changes are simply "part of old age," delaying medical intervention at a stage when the cat's brain is especially vulnerable to oxidative stress and neurodegeneration. In this VetileaTalks webinar, we will address this challenge from a clinical and practical perspective. We will not only review the latest pathophysiology and sentinel signs, but also delve into a multimodal approach that combines the latest scientific evidence on nutraceuticals with tailored environmental enrichment strategies. The goal is clear: to equip you with the necessary tools to detect cognitive decline early and offer treatments that restore well-being to both the cat and its family. WHY WATCH THIS WEBINAR? You will learn to identify the subtle clinical signs of cognitive dysfunction using validated assessment scales for geriatric patients. You will learn about the latest scientific studies on the efficacy of neuroprotective nutraceuticals and their role in slowing the degenerative process. You will explore environmental enrichment protocols specifically designed for senior cats to reduce anxiety and improve spatial orientation. You will discover how to communicate effectively with the caregiver to improve long-term treatment adherence.
