Feline Cognitive Dysfunction (FCD)

This comprehensive presentation explores Feline Cognitive Dysfunction (FCD)—a neurodegenerative condition in aging cats that mirrors dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in humans. The presentation begins with an overview of the Anatomy of the Feline Brain, laying the foundation to understand how cognitive decline occurs.

What is Feline Cognitive Dysfunction?, highlighting the behavioral and neurological changes associated with this condition. A special focus is given to DISHA, a clinically recognized diagnostic aid that outlines key behavioral signs in cat with FCD. The slide deck further delves into statistics, causes, and risk factors, shedding light on the increasing prevalence of FCD in the aging feline population. This presentation also offers a practical guide on signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment and management.

A dedicated section on prognosis and future prospects discusses emerging therapies, including the promising role of Stem Cell Therapy in improving neuronal function and slowing cognitive decline. The presentation concludes with Our Holistic Solutions, offering personalized, organ-targeted therapies that support feline brain health. Authored by Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike Chan and backed by scientific publications, this resource is ideal for veterinarians, researchers, and cat caregivers aiming to enhance quality of life for aging feline companions.
