Seminar Topic: Small Animal Neurology & Infectious Diseases: A Clinical Update

This EUVetCE Experiences seminar features content developed exclusively for this event, crafted to provide you with practical and up-to-date knowledge in small animal neurology and infectious diseases.

Join us for a practice-oriented learning experience that will sharpen your diagnostic reasoning and clinical confidence across two distinct but equally essential areas of small animal medicine. If you want to strengthen your approach to complex neurological presentations and stay current on infectious disease diagnostics and management, this is a seminar you will not want to miss.

Across three days, we'll explore the real cases you see every week: the seizuring patient who needs a clear emergency plan, the spinal case where you're weighing whether to refer or manage in-house, the older pet whose slow decline might be more than just "getting old," and the fever of unknown origin that resists a first-line diagnosis.

Together with our expert speakers, we'll unpack neuroanatomical localisation and clinical reasoning, review emergency management of head trauma, spinal trauma, and seizures, and take a closer look at cognitive dysfunction syndrome in the ageing patient. On the infectious disease side, we'll dive into sinonasal aspergillosis and a broader update on fungal disease, explore borreliosis, toxoplasmosis, and the latest on leptospirosis, and close with a case-based approach that ties fever, uveitis, polyarthritis, and proteinuria back to the diagnostics we've covered. We'll also step back to consider the human factors that shape clinical decision-making itself. You'll walk away with sharper clinical reasoning, practical diagnostic strategies, and a renewed sense of confidence - ready to apply in your next appointment.

We look forward to welcoming you to a program that is as educational as it is encouraging, and built to support the challenges of real veterinary life.

This program has been submitted for RACE approval for 15 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval.

Meet the Speakers

We are honored to have a word-renowned, board-certified specialist lineup at our Prague seminar.

Dr. Thomas J A Cardy

BSc BVetMed(Hons) MVetMed PhD DipECVN MRCVS - EBVS & RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Neurology

Tom is a veterinary neurologist and neurosurgeon who trained at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), where he helped establish a brain and tissue bank and later lectured in neurology and neurosurgery before moving into private practice. His clinical interests include the long-term management of canine epilepsy and the use of 3D-printed guides and implants in complex spinal surgery, and he has published widely and spoken at national and international conferences.

Before veterinary medicine, Tom completed a PhD in neuropharmacology at Cambridge and worked in pharmaceutical commercial strategy before joining the European Medicines Agency as Business Pipeline Manager. That background, combined with a long-standing interest in wellbeing and performance in veterinary teams, has shaped his particular focus on Human Factors and its impact on patient and practitioner care.

Outside of work, Tom is a keen open-water swimmer and runner, and keeps busy as cook, cleaner, and taxi driver for his two young children.

Dr. Cameron Prior

BVSc MSc PgCert CertAVP DipECVIM-CA MRCVS

Cameron is a European Diplomate in Small Animal Internal Medicine. Passionate about fungal disease, antimicrobial stewardship, endocrinopathy, and facilitating multiple studies to enhance the evidence base of veterinary medicine. Keen to build collaborative projects with colleagues across Europe and to promote clinical research in practice.
