Veterinary Information Network (VIN): Recognizing dementia in dogs and cats
The researchers, Dr. Stephanie McGrath (a veterinary neurologist) and Julie Moreno (a neurotoxicologist), are tracking the dogs’ cognitive and physical health through routine owner questionnaires, blood work, MRIs, spinal taps and brain health tests, such as treat-finding puzzles. The study is part of the larger Dog Aging Project, which began in 2014 and was recently featured on a segment of the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes. The researchers stated in a recent episode of CSU’s The Next 150 podcast that, among other long-term research goals, they hope the work will help them catch early signs of CDS in their participants so that owners can act fast to implement treatments.
