This week, Genome Barks is pleased to introduce Dr. Karen Kline, a veterinary neurologist.  Board certified in neurology by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Dr. Kline is actively involved in both teaching and clinical service at Iowa State University.

According to Dr. Kline, dogs with central nervous system (CNS) diseases make up a large number of admissions to veterinary hospitals in North America.  These diseases are of infectious, immune-mediated, cancerous, vascular, traumatic, congenital or degenerative origin.  In this podcast, Dr. Kline discusses various canine neurological diseases, such as caudal occipital malformation syndrome (COMS) and seizures, and their clinical signs and treatments. This podcast brought to you by the American Kennel Club and the AKC Canine Health Foundation.
