Disorders of micturition

Internal Medicine | Primary Care | 93 mins

Disorders of micturition can present significant diagnostic and management challenges in small animal practice. From urinary incontinence and bladder storage disorders to impaired bladder emptying and neurogenic dysfunction, understanding the underlying mechanisms is essential for identifying the cause and selecting appropriate treatment.

In this practical webinar, Dr. Scott Kilpatrick explores the physiology of normal micturition and the conditions that disrupt bladder storage and emptying in dogs and cats. The session will review common causes of urinary dysfunction, alongside diagnostic approaches to help differentiate between neurological, anatomical, and functional disorders.

With a focus on clinical decision-making, Scott will also discuss current treatment and management strategies, providing practical guidance to help clinicians investigate micturition disorders confidently, develop effective treatment plans, and improve long-term patient outcomes.
