Abstract

This paper discusses the most common neurological diseases in sheep and goats, including listeriosis and polioencephalomalacia. Because diagnostic techniques may be limited, a thorough history and complete physical examination are imperative. Tips for taking a history, performing a physical exam and some diagnostic techniques are presented. Treatment options are also presented where applicable.
