Assessing veterinary patients for possible neurologic disorders can be intimidating for some clinicians. Assessing feline patients in particular can be frustrating. Performing a neurologic exam on cats can be difficult and localization of lesions challenging. Cats can hide their symptoms and results of diagnostics performed may be confusing to interpret.

In this segment Dr. Rebecca Windsor discusses a variety of common and not so common diseases that affect cats neurologically - using case-based examples to highlight practical pearls for diagnosing and treating these patients. Her discussion includes:

• Vascular-related events
• FIP and other infectious diseases
• Neoplastic conditions
• Otitis media-interna
• Trauma
• Intervertebral disc disease, lumbosacral disease
• Epilepsy
• Thiamine deficiency
• Polyneuropathy associated with diabetes mellitus
