Neurological Conditions in Dogs

Common Neurological Conditions in Dogs 

• Vestibular Disease: Causes sudden balance issues, head tilts, and walking in circles.
• Seizure Disorders: Involuntary, sudden electrical disturbances in the brain.
• Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD): Herniated discs in the neck or back.
• Degenerative Myelopathy: Progressive weakness, particularly in the hindquarters.
• Facial Nerve Paralysis: Inability to move facial muscles, sometimes associated with ear issues

When to See a Veterinarian

If your dog shows symptoms, it is crucial to determine if it is idiopathic or a sign of a deeper neurological issue like a tumour or severe injury.
