However, in the literature there are few reports of the main conditions and their treatments, mainly in the northern region of the country. Therefore, a retrospective study of dogs and cats attended at four veterinary clinics in Manaus-AM, from 2018 to 2020, was carried out, with the aim of identifying and characterizing these animals and the most frequent neurological diseases. 185 clinical records of dogs and cats were evaluated based on the presumptive and conclusive diagnoses of neurological diseases. The highest occurrence was found in patients over the age of nine (36/22.6%), dogs (169/91.4%), males (96/56.8%) among dogs and cats and mixed breed (63/34.0%) in both species in total. The conclusive diagnosis in dogs of greater occurrence was the epileptic seizure (36/40.9%), followed by peripheral vestibular syndrome in patients diagnosed with otitis (9/10.2%). Most cats were diagnosed with injuries related to the spine (3/50%), followed by epileptic seizures (2/33.3%). The prophylaxis of neurological diseases depends a lot on the cause and, in those of infectious, inflammatory, metabolic and even traumatic origin, it is necessary for veterinarians to take actions to raise the awareness of the tutors of small animals regarding the importance of basic care in preventing these diseases.
