Main Results:

  • CAVM provides a range of options for managing neurologic conditions.
  • Integrative approaches can be applied to seizures, cerebrovascular accidents, cognitive dysfunction, meningitis, intervertebral disc disease, fibrocartilaginous embolism, degenerative myelopathy, and myopathies.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis and a thorough neurologic examination are crucial.
  • Integrative and alternative therapeutics aim to improve the quality of life for veterinary patients with neurologic disorders.
