Abstract in brief

  • Canine epilepsy is a common neurological condition in veterinary practice, but there has been no universally accepted system for classifying and describing it, leading to confusion.
  • The International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force (IVETF) aimed to create a clear, standardized terminology and classification system for epilepsy in dogs, inspired by human epilepsy classifications but adapted for veterinary use.
  • Their 2015 proposal seeks to establish a consistent language that can be used by veterinarians, researchers, and other professionals to improve diagnosis, treatment, and communication about epilepsy in companion animals.
