As in other organ systems, degenerative, neoplastic, and vascular diseases are the most prevalent neurologic disorders in older dogs. A neurological disease in an older dog poses a challenge for the clinician due to the presence of concomitant diseases and age-related changes that make it difficult to interpret the neurological examination. In addition, given the age of the patients, some owners do not allow advanced imaging tests, and it is necessary to establish the most likely presumptive diagnosis to initiate treatment. Although many of these diseases can cause clinical signs that can be very upsetting, some of them can be managed with symptomatic therapy and have a good prognosis, such as idiopathic vestibular syndrome. Moreover, advances in and the greater availability of therapeutic options such as surgery and radiation therapy may increase survival and quality of life in diseases with a more serious prognosis, such as tumours. The aim of this review is to summarize the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the more frequent diseases affecting the central nervous systems of geriatric dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14121753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,11]],"date-time":"2024-06-11T03:15:58Z","timestamp":1718075758000},"page":"1753","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Common Neurologic Diseases in Geriatric Dogs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5386-3780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciano","family":"Espino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Anatom\u00eda, Producci\u00f3n Animal y Ciencias Cl\u00ednicas Veterinarias, Facultad de Veterinaria de Lugo, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, 27002 Lugo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Mi\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Anatom\u00eda, Producci\u00f3n Animal y Ciencias Cl\u00ednicas Veterinarias, Facultad de Veterinaria de Lugo, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, 27002 Lugo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.5326\/JAAHA-MS-7343","article-title":"2023 AAHA Senior Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats","volume":"59","author":"Dhaliwal","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
