[Peripheral limb pareses in cattle. Part 2: Diagnostics, prognosis and therapy]

This two-part review presents an overview of peripheral-limb pareses in cattle, which represent the most frequent bovine neurologic disorder and are mostly caused by trauma of specific peripheral nerves. Occurrence, etiology, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy are presented. The second part of the review describes neuroanatomical details important for diagnostics, localization of the neuronal lesion within the lower motor neuron and classification of the grade of peripheral-nerve injury. Furthermore additional diagnostic tools are presented and prognosis, therapy and prevention of peripheral limb pareses in cattle are discussed.
