This learning series with Professor Clare Rusbridge begins with a focus on the diagnosis and management of diseases associated with intervertebral disc degeneration including feline intervertebral disc disease.

It also covers the diagnosis, surgical and non-surgical treatment of important differential diagnosis of intervertebral disc disease including degenerative myelopathies, spinal arachnoid diverticula and constrictive myelopathy of screw tail breeds.

Spinal disease is often accompanied by a neurogenic bladder, the resolution or management of which can be the deciding factor on whether treatment of the spinal disease continues, so can bear great importance in the management of these cases. The learning series covers management strategies for this common feature of spinal disease.
