healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/08/04/detecting-cognitive-dysfunction-in-dogs.aspxStory at-a-glance Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCDS) is a form of cognitive decline in dogs that shares similarities with Alzheimer’s disease in humans There is no specific diagnostic tool or test to reveal if a dog has CCDS, so it’s considered a “diagnosis of exclusion” Researchers with North Carolina State University set out to determine whether cognitive function could be quantified in aging pet dogs Cognitive tests and blood test results correlated with owners’ questionnaire scores, suggesting that a combination multi-dimensional approach may help to quantify cognitive impairment in dogs The data could help shed light on Alzheimer’s disease in humans, including how the disease progresses and potentially testing new treatments My notes: Just like humans, they need to be stimulated mentally & physically to keep their brains sharp.
