Canine Neurology

Neurology is a rapidly evolving and advancing field, often perceived as
challenging and intimidating. This new textbook, entirely dedicated to
canine neurology, provides up-to-date, evidence-based, clinically
applicable information to support veterinary practitioners both in
primary and secondary care. The aim is to improve knowledge and
confidence in dealing with the neurology canine patient and promote
contextualized care to benefit the patients, their owners, and the
veterinary team. The book comprises four sections and includes figures,
videos, tables, and algorithms to provide both quick access to key
practical information and more in-depth knowledge. The first section
includes short chapters focused on common neurologic presentations based
on the owner’s presenting concerns and/or physical examination
findings. Each chapter includes an algorithm to provide visually
engaging and easily accessible information on clinical approach,
differential diagnoses, diagnostic investigations, and treatment. The
second section focuses on the foundations of clinical neurology: an
accurate approach to the neurology patient, a well-conducted neurologic
examination, and correct interpretation of the findings to establish a
robust neuroanatomic localization and a differential diagnosis list. The
third section provides insights into diagnostic procedures, including
laboratory investigations, neuroimaging, and electrodiagnostics. The
fourth section of the book provides comprehensive yet accessible
evidence-based and clinically relevant information on numerous
neurologic disorders. Each chapter includes details on pathophysiology,
diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis; helpful illustrations and videos;
and a key points box to highlight essential information
