Association between neurologic and cognitive dysfunction signs in a sample of aging dogs

January 1, 2009

In human neurology, patients with Alzheimer's disease show seizures and signs of motor deficits, such as movement disorders (i.e., restlessness, slowness, impaired gait, and, rarely, resting tremors). Because canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) is considered an Alzheimer-like disease in dogs, it might be possible to document concurrent behavioral and neurologic signs in aging canine patients as well.
