Forebrain dysfunction can affect a pet’s behavior, awareness, vision, movement, and even cause seizures or circling.
Four neurological conditions that can affect the forebrain include brain tumors, strokes, brain inflammation, and hydrocephalus. While these conditions can share similar neurological signs, determining the underlying cause is essential for guiding treatment and prognosis.
If your pet suddenly begins circling, experiencing seizures, showing behavior changes, pressing their head, or having difficulty seeing, a neurological evaluation may be recommended.
