Abstract

The incidence of neurological diseases in dogs and cats is high, leading to several complications that impair the quality of life of animals. Epilepsy, which is characterized by frequent seizures, herniated discs, which can result in spinal cord compression, and hepatic encephalopathy, commonly linked to severe liver problems, are the most common conditions. Managing these conditions requires early recognition of complications and transparent communication between the veterinarian and the owner, which is crucial to ensure appropriate care. Often, treatment of epilepsy includes the use of phenobarbital and potassium bromide. However, about 25% of patients may require additional therapies due to resistance. A herniated disc, on the other hand, needs a thorough diagnosis and can be treated through medications or surgical procedures, depending on their severity. In addition, the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy involves decreasing ammonia absorption and correcting metabolic disorders. In all situations, intensive care and meticulous management are essential for recovery, highlighting the relevance of prevention and appropriate treatment of neurological diseases in small animals
