麻痹和瘫痪在绵羊中并不常见，但可能会促使农民寻求兽医建议。一个彻底和合乎逻辑的方法可以帮助确定问题的原因，并强调兽医参与的好处。虽然这可能不一定会改变单个动物的预后，但它可以帮助制定预防措施，并避免错误治疗的经济和福利成本。区分中央和周围病变是最重要的，因为相对预后明显不同，这通常可以用最小的设备实现。这篇文章描述了一种方法来执行一个神经学检查的羊躯干和四肢，辅助测试和常见的和重要的原因麻痹和瘫痪羊。
Paresis and paralysis are uncommon problems in sheep but are likely to prompt farmers to seek veterinary advice. A thorough and logical approach can aid in determining the cause of the problem and highlighting the benefit of veterinary involvement. While this may not necessarily alter the prognosis for an individual animal, it can help in formulating preventive measures and avoid the costs - both in economic and in welfare terms - of misdirected treatment. Distinguishing between central and peripheral lesions is most important, as the relative prognoses are markedly different, and this can often be achieved with minimal equipment. This article describes an approach to performing a neurological examination of the ovine trunk and limbs, the ancillary tests available and the common and important causes of paresis and paralysis in sheep.
