Cognitive Dysfunction in Dogs and Cats

Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) in cats and dogs is a clinical condition that affects older pets, characterised by a series of neurological disorders that negatively impact their cognitive functions, changes in behavior, social interactions, and quality of life.

Clinical signs include:

  • Changes in interaction with owners or other animals.
  • Disorientation and confusion, anxiety, and restlessness.
  • Sleep-wake cycle disorders, changes in behavior patterns.
  • Alterations in daily routines.
  • Changes in motor function.

CDS has become an increasingly important area of research and veterinary care. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention are key to addressing this syndrome.

Factors Associated with Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome in Dogs and Cats

CDS manifests in various ways:

  • Macroscopic changes in the brain: cortical atrophy, which affects areas of the brain related to memory and learning, as well as the hippocampus, a structure that contributes to the formation of new memories.
  • Neuronal changes: such as the loss of nerve cells in key brain areas.
  • Oxidative damage and inflammation: leading to the deterioration of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides in the brain, eventually resulting in neuron death.
  • Accumulation of ß-amyloid protein: may contribute to neuronal loss and brain atrophy.

CDS can also result from cerebrovascular pathologies: cerebral vascular changes, gliosis, and ventricular dilation, leading to cerebral atrophy, ventricular enlargement, and lesions in the medial temporal lobes.
