The site is provided as a resource for all those concerned with canine epilepsy: owners and breeders of affected dogs, veterinarians, neurologists, and researchers. The Canine Epilepsy Research Consortium is a group of scientists from the Animal Health Trust in the UK and a number of American Universities including Missouri, Minnesota, and Ohio State who are collaborating to:

Vetoquinol Logo
 

Vetoquinol was originally a family business set up in 1933. The Vétoquinol name was created in 1952. The Vétoquinol Group is entirely turned towards the future and devotes all its efforts to searching for new solutions in the service of animal health. In 1996 Vetoquinol UK entered the field of canine antiepileptic treatments with Epiphen tablets (phenobarbitone) and followed this with the launch of Epiphen solution in 2002. Vetoquinol UK supports education and training in epilepsy in a number of ways including providing training days for veterinary surgeons, telephone based technical support and the sponsorship of a resident neurologist at the Animal Health Trust.


AHT Logo
 

The Animal Health Trust (“AHT”) was founded in 1942 as the Veterinary Education Trust by a veterinary surgeon, Dr W R Wooldridge, who saw the human advances being made in medicine and wanted to apply them for the benefit of animals. Bringing veterinary surgeons closer to an understanding of disease would, he believed, be of enormous benefit to animals of all species, and by the 1960’s the AHT consisted of four establishments focusing on diseases of small animals, horses, livestock and poultry.

Throughout its existence the AHT, which was awarded its Royal Charter in 1963, has been a pioneer in the diagnosis and treatment of animal disease and its efforts are now concentrated on the prevention and cure of disease in companion animals and horses.

The Neurology Unit at the AHT offers a comprehensive referral service for canine and feline patients with neurological problems or myopathies. The excellent facilities, including on-site MRI, electrodiagnostic capabilities and neurosurgical operating equipment, with related oncology and other services, allow a standard of investigation and treatment matched by few other centres in the UK. The particular interests of the Neurology Unit include investigation and treatment of intracranial, vestibular and spinal disorders and myopathies. The Unit also prides itself on the maintenance of the congenital deafness screening programme in a variety of at-risk breeds.
