Background: Idiopathic epilepsy is the most common chronic neurological disease in dogs and requires lifelong administration of antiseizure drugs (ASD). A decreased level of energy and increased food intake and weight gain have been described as long-lasting side effects.
Methods: We assessed food motivation (FM), using the previously validated dog obesity risk assessment questionnaire, in dogs diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy (n = 222) and healthy dogs (n = 7086) to determine if epilepsy and ASD were associated with increased FM and adiposity and decreased activity.

Article Synopsis
- Myoclonus occurs frequently in aging Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, with most dogs showing spontaneous myoclonus primarily affecting the head.
- Most dogs experience an increase in the frequency and severity of episodes over time, and behavioral changes indicative of cognitive decline are often observed.
- Treatment with medications like levetiracetam initially reduces episode frequency but typically leads to an eventual increase in both frequency and severity, suggesting a potential underlying neurodegenerative condition.

Identifying risk factors associated with the carriage of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria in dogs is crucial to understanding their epidemiology and for developing and refining targeted control measures. However, relevant data is scattered and conflicting findings have been reported. This systematic review aimed to compile risk factors associated with the carriage of AMR- in dogs worldwide and to identify relevant knowledge gaps for directing future research.
