Disfunção Cognitiva Canina: Dementia in Dogs
Is your senior dog forgetting routines, getting lost, or restless at night? Canine cognitive dysfunction is dog dementia — and early intervention helps.
Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCDS) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition in aging dogs, similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans. It results from age-related changes in the brain including beta-amyloid plaque accumulation, reduced neurotransmitter levels, and decreased cerebral blood flow.
