NEUROLOGY
Veterinary neurology is the branch of medicine that studies and treats the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nervous system in pets. Epilepsy, Meningitis, Herniated disks, spinal and head injuries, and cancer are just some prevalent neurological issues your pets can go through. The aftereffects of neurological damage to your pets can be as severe as amputation.
Warning signs you should look out for:
- Sensitivity on the neck and back area
- Balance issues
- Abnormal eye movements
- Disorientation and confusion
- Mobility issues
- Seizures
