Summary

This week we talk to Dr Tom Cardy, staff clinician in neurology and neurosurgery here at the RVC about Changing the Landscape of Canine Idiopathic Epilepsy. It might be a mouthful, though we are not talking just about the treatment of the patients, though how we consider first line therapy, are there adjuncts to use and highlight the importance of not only focusing on the disease, the patient, though also the owner and local vet in providing this care. Tom is very patient with me, though he is a patient man. Enjoy.

0:00.0	Good day. Dominic Belfield here, and this is the RVC Clinical Podcast. Thank you for listening and thank you for subscribing on your smartphone or generic fruit-based device.
0:08.5	Really grateful for you taking the time to download and listen to this RVC podcast. And we don't really ask for anything in return. Well, not much. We'd be really grateful if you could just pop to the Apple podcast or iTunes and leave us for a review.
0:21.9	Obviously, a five-star review would be great.
0:23.9	There might be other reviews available, but we'll let you just give those to other podcasts.
0:28.7	Sadly, I've got no podcasts, sorry, got no reviews to read out today.
0:34.3	But hopefully next week.
0:36.6	I'll get into, I suppose, sorry we didn't have a podcast last
0:39.3	week. I'd like to say that we're sunning ourselves in Tahiti or something like that, but actually
0:43.5	just the clinics were, we're a bit busy. But anyway, if you could write us a review that would
0:50.4	really help our metrics and do the things behind iTunes at least allow this information
0:57.3	to be delivered more effectively to the people that actually want to listen to us and find
1:02.5	us. So really appreciate your time if you could spend a couple of minutes and write us review.

1:25.7	So I suppose there's a few things that I'd like to ask to it,
1:31.1	but I know that you've got some things that you would actually like to say about that.
1:35.6	Because a lot of the anti-ablectic drugs that we have have been around for a while, haven't they?
1:41.5	Yep. So I guess what we're going to talk about today is, as you say,
1:46.0	we're going to cover some of the first line therapies, some of which have only been around for three
