Department of Neurology

Neurology is a science that studies the nervous system of the body and the pathological processes occurring in it: diseases that lead to disruption of the nervous system.

How can you suspect a neurological disease in a pet:

• Violation of gait, posture of the body at rest or during physical exertion;
• Change in habitual behavior, sleep disturbance, unjustified aggression;
• Seizures with or without fainting;
• Attacks of pain;
• Tilt or turn non-passing head walking in a circle or not recognizing obstacles;
• violation of coordination;
• Change in the size of the pupils or their position relative to the center of the eye;
• and other less noticeable deviations.

How to prepare for a visit to a veterinary neurologist at VK Zoolux?

• Please pre-register for an appointment by phone or on the website;
• It is preferable that the animal be brought to the appointment by the owner or person involved in direct care and treatment, especially if the problem is long-term;
• Be sure to take records of previous studies, if any;
• Try to discuss at home the answers to the questions: when did the symptoms appear, who treated and for how long, what drugs were used and at what dosage, did it get better after the therapy;
• Do not feed the animal for 6 hours if additional diagnostics are required;
• Do not give medicines 6-12 hours before taking if your pet is taking medicines that should not be skipped - inform the doctor about this;
• If the animal is frightened and may show aggression, this may interfere with a full neurological examination. Please be prepared to hold your pet and/or wear a muzzle.
