Hereditary veterinarian. After the fourth year of study at the Moscow Veterinary Academy. K.I. Skryabina got an internship in the laboratory of equine viral diseases of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine (VIEV), where she worked for a long time. There, under the guidance of Professor Konstantin Pavlovich Yurov, a candidate's dissertation “Typing of equine herpesviruses using DNA restriction analysis and the search for a vaccine strain” was written. The result of this work was the creation of monovalent (rhinopneumonia) and polyvalent (influenza-rhinopneumonia) inactivated vaccines. In 1998 she completed an internship on equine viral arteritis at the State Veterinary Research Laboratory Weybridge (UK), and in 2004 at the University of Kentucky (USA). For many years, Ekaterina led in VIEV laboratory diagnostics viral diseases of horses, necessary for the import and export of animals. She is one of the world's top 15 experts on equine viral arteritis and as an official lecturer for the World Equine Veterinary Association on infectious diseases horses often perform abroad.

In 1999 E.F. Zabegina became one of the initiators of the revival of the tradition of holding horse shows in Russia. As a result, the International Horse Show “Equiros” was organized and is held annually. And two years later - in 2001 - Ekaterina created the Equine Veterinary Association, whose members were specialists working in the field of equine veterinary medicine.

In 2000, at her own risk, Ekaterina held the first internal conference on equine diseases, and already in 2008, under her leadership, for the first time in Russia, the 10th Congress of the World Equine Veterinary Association (WEVA) was successfully held. Today, as part of her postgraduate education programs, Ekaterina is professionally involved in organizing conferences, seminars and master classes on equine veterinary medicine. Her track record already includes more than two hundred such events.

Since 2004 E.F. Zabegina actively cooperates with the Russian Equestrian Federation (FKSR), in 2004 she received the status of FEI Veterinary Delegate (International Federation of Equestrian Sports), and since that time she has been fulfilling the powers of the FEI Veterinary Delegate at many international equestrian competitions in show jumping, eventing, driving and distance equestrian races taking place within the FEI in Russia and abroad. In 2005, she was appointed chief of the Russian national team at the World Distance Equestrian Championships in Dubai (UAE). In 2007, on behalf of the Federal Investigative Committee, she completed an internship on horse doping at the University of Davis, USA.

In 2003, Ekaterina founded her own company, Equicenter, specializing in the supply of veterinary instruments and equipment. With the direct participation of the company, a number of veterinary clinics have been equipped not only in Moscow, but also in other cities of Russia. Equicentre also acts as an expert in providing technical advice and equipment for hippodromes and equestrian facilities. One of the main achievements in this area is the implementation of the Akbuzat hippodrome project in Ufa, which is rightfully considered one of the best hippodromes in Europe.

In 2006, Zabegina’s work and achievements were awarded the honorary award of the Equine Veterinary Association “Veterinary Cross”, in 2008 - the prestigious award in the field of veterinary medicine “Golden Scalpel”, in 2013 - the medal of the State Veterinary Service of Moscow.

Loss of consciousness
Convulsions
Sudden paralysis of the front and hind legs
Unsteady gait, etc.

The task of a specialist in the field of veterinary neurology is to understand the cause of the violations as quickly as possible, correctly assess the condition of the unfortunate pet, and carry out the necessary diagnostic procedures(including MRI and CT) and provide him with immediate assistance.

diseases of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord),
diseases of the PNS (nerves and nerve plexuses),
disorders in other organs, one way or another causing neurological symptoms.

Features of the treatment of neurological disorders at MEDVET

Doctors of the MEDVET Veterinary Center Network successfully treat animals for any disease, and diseases of the central nervous system and PNS are no exception. During initial examination When symptoms of neurology are identified, the doctor directs the animal to undergo a special examination, consisting of a neurological examination (checking mental status, monitoring body position in space, degree of sensitivity to pain, checking tendon-muscle reflexes) and a number of studies, which include:

Myelography – contrast method radiography, which allows you to examine the shells spinal cord;
Radiography– helps diagnose compression injuries of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves fragments of bone structures;
CSF examination ( cerebrospinal fluid) – when there is a suspicion of encephalitis, myelitis, discospondylitis (inflammation of the central nervous system).

All this helps to determine the approximate location and extent of damage to the nervous tissue.

Our clinics successfully perform complex neurosurgical operations (dorsal laminectomy, stabilization spinal column, elimination atlantoaxial instability, hemilaminectomy, ventral spondylectomy, etc.). They are relevant in cases where for treatment conservative therapy is not enough or it is impossible to carry out.

The best veterinarian neurologist in Moscow: why are our specialists recommended?
If a person decides to be the owner of a pet, then he must not only feed and water the animal, but also take care of your health. IN regular visits Every animal needs a veterinarian. And it’s not so important whether it’s a rodent hamster or pedigree dog. It could even be exotic animals, such as an iguana, a baby squirrel or a raccoon. Everyone needs the help of an experienced veterinarian who is able to make a diagnosis and determine a course of treatment to the animal recovered as quickly as possible and without subsequent complications.

And one of these doctors can be called a veterinary neurologist. A veterinarian neurologist knows very well how the animal’s nervous system works. Understands all deviations that may occur, and also knows how to treat these disorders.

The profession of a neurologist can easily be called one of the most difficult in veterinary medicine. After all, it is important to know from A to Z the physiology of the animal, the structure nervous system and also know the signs of illness. The animal cannot tell what and where it hurts, and the disease cannot be seen or felt, hence the complexity and specificity of the profession.

Disturbances in the nervous system lead to dire consequences. Due to disorders and diseases, the condition of almost all organs can be at risk. For example, hearing, condition skin, vision, smell, problems with tendons, mucous membranes, muscles and other areas and organs of the body. As you can see, the functioning of the senses is disrupted, which cannot but affect the pet’s body and behavior. This complicates and ruins life. Moreover, due to the presence of the disease, the pet often experiences stress and anxiety. This leads to a disruption of the immune system and undermines the entire body, which leads to an even greater number of diseases that are even more difficult to treat. Therefore, it is necessary to get to the bottom of the true cause of the disorder immediately and cure it in order to avoid disastrous consequences.

Of course, not all veterinary centers have the necessary competent personnel and equipment with which to identify the disease. A good neurologist is hard to find, due to the complexity of the profession and the lack of desire to identify neurological diseases. And the equipment costs a lot of money.

However, owners with sick neurological diseases more and more are coming, everyone is looking for help and salvation from encephalitis, tumors in the animal’s brain and other diseases. And doctors cannot advise anything, because symptoms may coincide with other diseases and thus treatment becomes extremely ineffective and only wastes time.

Symptoms of a neurological disease in an animal

Not everyone understands what a neurological disorder is and After what symptoms is it advisable to consult a veterinarian and neurologist? Next, we will look at the signs that, if you notice, you should call a doctor. It is better to call, because some of them are quite serious and if you delay a little, it may not end very well and treatment may be even more difficult. Here are some of the symptoms:

1 If the spine is sick, the animal begins to move less confidently, whine, and very often lie on soft surfaces, including sofas and beds. However, it is harder for your pet to jump on them than it was before. 2 If an animal has difficulty swallowing food or water, its pupils are unnaturally dilated and its head is kept on its side, which was not the case before, this is another bell to call a veterinarian and neurologist. 3 In acute cases, fainting occurs, involuntary urination, the paws fail and the animal collapses, etc. At such moments, you should urgently contact a veterinarian and neurologist.

The pet has difficulty moving and is very anxious, so the best solution is to call a doctor rather than try to get to the veterinary center on your own.

Diagnosis of neurological diseases in animals

When examining your pet for the first time a veterinarian neurologist will ask questions related to the animal’s behavioral characteristics, how much they have changed, what you don’t like about the behavior and what is very alarming. After this, the pet will be examined, various information will be collected, and, of course, the pet will be tested. In some cases, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) may be necessary. The procedure guarantees accurate confirmation of the disease that the doctor suspected. In some cases, this procedure reveals new details about the pet’s body.

It is also sometimes worth doing myelography on an animal. This type of examination of the animal’s spine is more accessible than MRI, but no less effective and efficient. The procedure will help the veterinarian neurologist determine abnormalities in the pet’s vertebrae.
