Reviews / Votes
"There is also an impressive list of references at the end of each chapter should the reader need more details. A great tool for those of us who are serious about their neurology." (Vet Nurses Today, 1 January 2016) "The third updated edition of Practical Guide to Canine and Feline Neurology appears in full color and is a powerful 'must have' veterinary reference, representing a complete update to a reference on managing neurology cases in small animal practice." (Midwest Book Review 2016) "I believe this book should be part of every veterinarian's library. It is an easy reference for readers who need to look something up quickly. The text is written in a manner that is easy to read for veterinary students and veterinarians who are still uncomfortable with neurology, yet it is comprehensive for residents who are studying for board (medical and surgical) certification as well as specialists who are already certified." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association 15 June 2016) The Practical Guide to Canine and FelineNeurology, though being a textbook with atarget audience of veterinarians, is writtenusing clear language and medical terminologythat would make it a useful additionto any veterinary clinic library. "The Practical Guide to Canine and Feline Neurology, though being a textbook with a target audience of veterinarians, is written using clear language and medical terminology that would make it a useful addition to any veterinary clinic library." (New Zealand Veterinary Nurse. 2016) "This book is a must-have for those dealing with neurology on a daily basis." Zoran Loncar (EJCAP 2016)More details

CHAPTER 1
Signalment and History: The First Considerations
Curtis W. Dewey & Ronaldo C. da Costa
Introduction
When presented with a patient that is suspected of having a neurologic disorder, the signalment (i.e. breed, age, and sex) and history are often helpful in guiding the clinician toward the most likely diagnosis. It is important to recognize, however, that this information is adjunctive to the neurologic examination. Properly weighting the importance of signalment and history will help avoid "tunnel vision" when devising diagnostic plans and implementing treatment strategies.
Signalment1-3, 5
The information in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 provides a summary of suspected and confirmed breed predilections for various neurologic disorders. Knowledge of breed predilections can be very helpful when considering differential diagnoses, especially for uncommon presentations (e.g. neuropathies in juvenile patients). The clinician should be aware of the limitations of breed predilection tables, however. Newly discovered breed predilections or undiscovered breed predilections will not necessarily be represented in a table. In other words, breed predilection tables tend to increase in size with successive textbook editions. Also, breeds other than those reportedly predisposed to a particular disorder may occasionally be affected by that disorder. Finally, certain rare disorders may have only one or a few members of a certain breed reported in the literature. Since some of these disorders are inherited (e.g. lysosomal storage diseases), it may be assumed that the breed is at risk, despite low numbers of actually confirmed cases.
