Neurology In A Nutshell Presented by Dr. Susan Arnold (4 Hr CE)

A 6-year-old Boxer presents with acute onset of circling and a head tilt. Is it peripheral vestibular disease — or a brainstem lesion that changes everything? Build the neurolocalization framework that separates treatable conditions from emergencies.

Agenda · Saturday, February 21, 2026

Four sessions, taught in sequence

Four clinically focused lectures totaling 4.0 RACE-approved CE hours.

Session 1· 1.0 Hour

Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)

IVDD is the most common cause of vertebral column pain and myelopathies in dogs and also can occur in cats. Classify Hansen Type I vs. Type II disc disease, apply grading systems to guide medical vs. surgical decisions, and review current evidence on timing, prognosis, and post-operative rehabilitation.

  • IVDD grading and surgical criteria
  • Medical management protocols

Session 2· 1.0 Hour

Localizing, Diagnosing, and Managing Intracranial Disease

Intracranial neurolocalization to one of the four brain regions enables a streamlined approach to subsequent generation of differential diagnosis lists and treatment plans. Learn systematic approaches to brain tumors, encephalitis, and congenital anomalies.

  • Four-region neurolocalization
  • Differential diagnosis by region

Session 3· 1.0 Hour

Chronic Seizure Management

Epilepsy is a life-long disease that is also the most common neurological condition observed in dogs and cats. Distinguish structural, metabolic, and idiopathic epilepsy. Select appropriate first-line anticonvulsants, manage breakthrough seizures, and implement emergency status epilepticus protocols based on ACVIM consensus.

  • Anticonvulsant selection & monitoring
  • Status epilepticus emergency protocol

Session 4· 1.0 Hour

Vestibular Dysfunction

Vestibular disease in dogs and cats spans from benign to serious conditions. Effective localization within the vestibular system is the first critical step in determining a patient's diagnosis. Use clinical signs to differentiate peripheral from central vestibular disease and communicate prognosis.

  • Central vs. peripheral differentiation
  • Prognosis communication

Practical Takeaways for Your Practice

Neurolocalization Framework

Apply a systematic approach to neurological examination that accurately localizes lesions and guides your diagnostic plan.

IVDD Decision-Making

Classify intervertebral disc disease by type and grade, and apply evidence-based criteria for medical vs. surgical management.

Seizure Protocols

Implement first-line and rescue anticonvulsant protocols based on current ACVIM consensus guidelines for canine and feline epilepsy.

Vestibular Triage

Differentiate peripheral from central vestibular disease using clinical signs alone, and communicate prognosis with confidence.

Course Abstract

Live Online Interactive Webinar • Case-Based • Sponsor-Free

Neurological cases in general practice demand rapid, accurate localization — and the confidence to act on it. This course equips you with a structured approach to the neuro cases you see most, grounded in current evidence.

Over four hours, Dr. Susan Arnold will walk you through systematic neurological examination, IVDD classification and surgical decision-making, evidence-based seizure management, and the critical distinction between peripheral and central vestibular disease. Each topic is anchored in cases you'll recognize from your own caseload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course appropriate for veterinary technicians?
Yes. This course is RACE-approved for both veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
Will I receive lecture materials?
Yes. Registered attendees receive downloadable lecture notes and clinical reference guides before the event.
What if I can't attend live?
An on-demand recording will be available after the event for non-interactive CE hours. Live attendance earns interactive CE credit.
Is the content sponsor-free?
Yes. 100% unsponsored. No drug, product, or corporate sponsorship — content is driven by the presenter, not a marketing partner.
