- Abstract
Vestibular syndrome is a pathology whose frequency has increased significantly among the neurological patients in veterinary medicine. A correct and complete clinical examination, followed by neurological examination, localization of the lesion within the nervous system and differential diagnosis are essential steps that ensure the success of the therapy and guide the owners on the prognosis. Head tilt, leaning or horizontal nystagmus are characteristic signs of peripheral vestibular syndrome. Depending on the etiology involved and the type of vestibular syndrome, the classes of drugs used include systemic antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-emetic drugs or vasodilators. Betahistine hydrochloride is a compound that has structural and pharmacological characteristics similar to histamine. Although betahistine hydrochloride is widely used in human medicine, the literature in veterinary medicine includes few articles dealing with this topic. In consequence, the purpose of this article is to make a brief review on the literature and to present the results obtained following the administration of betahistine hydrochloride in three patients diagnosed with peripheral vestibular syndrome.
