Description

Some of our feline patients with chronic problems present with multiple physical and behavioral comorbid disorders. These patients' clinical signs may wax and wane with changes in their surroundings, suggesting that they may have an underlying "central sensitivity" syndrome. In this talk, attendees will hear some of the background research in cats with chronic bladder signs that led to the proposal that a "Pandora syndrome" occurs in cats and how to approach a provisional diagnosis of the syndrome. It will also explain how to manage these patients to minimize their perception of threat and help them cope with hospitalization to the extent possible. This session is offered as continuing education programming during the Midwest Veterinary Conference.
