Vestibular disease is a common diagnosis in dogs and cats, however lesion localization can be confusing for some clinicians. There are many possible causes for vestibular signs (head tilt, ataxia, nystagmus, strabismus, and vomiting) and, while many of these cases are diagnosed as idiopathic, clinicians really should be encouraging work ups to rule out something that may warrant specific treatment.
In this segment Dr. Rebecca Windsor takes a practical approach to assessing patients with vestibular disease, localizing the lesion, determining the cause, and treating affected patients.
