Background Despite appropriate antiseizure drug (ASD) treatment, around two‐thirds of dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE) have seizures long‐term and 20–30per cent affected remain poorly controlled. Methods The current study aim is to test in a field trial the efficacy tolerability commercially available diet enriched 6.5per medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil (n=21) at least tier 1 diagnosis, without cluster seizures, 10 veterinary practices across Europe. Each dog's quality life (QoL),...
Metabolic/neurodegenerative encephalopathies encompass a wide list of conditions that share similar clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics, challenging the diagnostic process resulting in numerous tests performed order to reach definitive diagnosis. The aims this multicentric, retrospective descriptive study are: (I) describe MRI features dogs cats with metabolic/neurodegenerative encephalopathies; (II) attempt an recognition pattern classifying these according...
Brain gliomas are common tumours diagnosed in dogs. However, limited information is available on the clinical features and overall survival time (OS) dogs receiving palliative treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate possible associations between presenting complaint, tumour localisation, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) features, times, reason for death with suspected intracranial glioma treated palliatively. Sixty from a single institution were retrospectively included (from...
To determine the prevalence of presumed postictal changes (PC) on brain MRI in epileptic dogs, describe their distribution, and recognize possible correlations with different epilepsy features.540 client-owned dogs a complete medical record that underwent at 4 veterinary referral hospitals between 2016 2019.Data were collected regarding signalment, seizure type, severity, time last MRI, etiological classification epilepsy. Postictal considered when solitary or multiple intraparenchymal...
To determine the occurrence of degenerative changes affecting vertebral column in cats, assess their clinical significance, and cats with intervertebral disk herniation compared to other spinal diseases.
To describe the clinical and neurologic signs, diagnostic investigations, definitive or presumptive diagnosis, treatment, outcome of dogs presented with acute onset central cord syndrome (CCS).74 client-owned evaluated for CCS at 5 referral hospitals between January 2016 March 2021.Data were collected from medical records each dog, including patient signalment, physical examination results, presence signs respiratory failure, imaging findings, treatment follow-up information. Descriptive...
A case of a mule foal with cerebellar Purkinje cell degeneration is described. one‐day‐old was presented lateral recumbency, obtunded mentation, poor metabolic status (general weakness, congestive mucous membranes, tachycardia, weak pulse, hypomotility and hypothermia) signs. After receiving medical treatment, the foal’s overall condition markedly improved but severe ataxia intention tremors were still present. Three weeks later, physical examination normal neurological signs had worsened...
Case summaryA 12-year-old neutered male domestic shorthair cat was presented to our referral hospital with a chronic history of tenesmus and lumbosacral pain. A diagnosis degenerative stenosis (DLSS) made standard dorsal L7–S1 laminectomy performed uneventfully, complete recovery within 1 month. The brought back 4 months later for investigation pain after having suffered minor traumatic event. Neurological examination identified low tail carriage, weakness, exercise intolerance, left pelvic...
Two gun dogs presented with a combination of neuromuscular and autonomic signs following suspected exposure to stinging nettles ( Urtica dioica ) in the UK. Both developed first clinical on same day had been working area where presence reported. Clinical included urticaria, tachypnoea, hypersalivation, bilateral miosis, ambulatory tetraparesis, muscle fasciculations myokymia generalised decreased hyporeflexia. Complete blood count acetylcholinesterase activity were within normal limits apart...
An unusual form of cerebellocortical degeneration called cerebellar granuloprival was diagnosed in a four‐month‐old Chihuahua. The dog had two‐week history progressive signs dysfunction, including wide‐based stance, intention tremors and bilateral absence menace response without visual impairment. On MRI the encephalon, reduction size detected. histopathological examination, depletion granule cell layer observed, addition to neuronal vestibular nuclei, reticular formation, red nucleus...
Abstract Polymicrogyria is a brain congenital anomaly characterised by multiple small gyri with abnormal cortical lamination. Although commonly described in humans, only two case reports dogs have been published, including total of nine standard poodles and one golden retriever. This report presents miniature poodle polymicrogyria, which differs from previous reported cases clinical presentation, extent lesion survival time. Furthermore, to the authors’ knowledge, this first description...
