What signs indicate my pet might need neurological care?

Common signs include seizures, weakness, difficulty walking, head tilt, facial paralysis, balance issues, neck/back pain, and changes in behavior. If your pet exhibits these symptoms, consult your primary veterinarian for a possible neurology referral.

Is pet head tilt and disorientation a sign my pet might need neurological care?

Yes. A sudden head tilt, disorientation, or trouble with balance may indicate a neurological issue affecting the brain or inner ear. These signs should be evaluated promptly to determine the underlying cause and begin appropriate care.

Are dog tremors and uncoordinated walking a sign my pet might need neurological care?

Yes. Tremors, stumbling, or uncoordinated movement can point to a neurological condition that requires further evaluation. Early diagnosis can make a meaningful difference in treatment options and your pet’s quality of life.
