About this episode
Dr. Simon Platt discusses the challenges of managing seizures in small animals and how to support pet owners during these situations.
Seizures are one of the most emotionally challenging presentations in small animal practice, often leaving veterinarians navigating both urgent medical decisions and distressed owners. In this episode, Dr. Simon Platt joins Dr. Beth to discuss how to approach first-time seizure cases, differentiate idiopathic epilepsy from cases requiring advanced diagnostics, and better support the client experience. Plus, discover where once-daily potassium bromide can fit into long-term seizure control and treatment adherence. This podcast is RACE-approved for 0.5 hours of CE credit.
