Neurology involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect your pet’s nervous system.
Neurology is a specialty offered at Onevet Veterinary Hospital Cascais. Neurological diseases affect the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) and/or the peripheral (the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord).
Some neurological symptoms include:
- Paresis: the partial absence of voluntary movement of one or more limbs.
- Paralysis: the total absence of voluntary movement in one or more limbs.
- Ataxia and incoordination.
- Tremors.
- Loss of balance, head tilts.
- Anomalous behaviors.
