Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated whether certain cerebral biomarkers (NfL, amyloid-β, tau, NSE) can help diagnose common canine neurological diseases.
  • Elevated levels of tau, NfL, and NSE were found in dogs with meningoencephalitis (MUO), while dogs with brain tumors showed an increase in tau and NSE but a decrease in amyloid-β.
  • No significant changes in these biomarkers were found in dogs with non-infectious myelopathies, suggesting that NfL, tau, and NSE might be valuable indicators for MUO and brain tumors in dogs.

This case report describes a 17-month-old Pudelpointer with recurring motor impairment localized to the left thoracic limb. A neurological exam highlighted lameness in that limb, accompanied by pre-scapular swelling. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging detected an osseous structure in soft tissues close to the fifth cervical vertebra, and subsequent surgery uncovered adjacent cervical spinal nerve impingement.

Intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE) is a common neurological condition in many dog breeds. This study aimed to describe this condition in Yorkshire terriers (YT) and calculate the prevalence of this condition amongst the YTs with neurological diseases. This is a double-centre retrospective study which was conducted in two arms.

This case study presents a unique transient postural vestibular syndrome in three dogs. The transient postural symptoms present as pronounced vestibulo-cerebellar signs after altering the position of the head. Magnetic resonance imaging findings of the brain suggest caudal cerebellar hypoplasia, affecting vermis, and floccular lobes bilaterally in case 1, and hypoplasia of the nodulus vermis in cases 2 and 3.
