Episode 3: Deep Dive – Head Tilt

That's right, the dreaded neuro! But don't worry, we're here to break it down for you.

In this episode Brendan and Charlotte talk through how to approach head tilt cases across species, from vestibular disease in dogs, to working up head tilt in cats, and the truly impressive head tilts we can see in rabbits. We cover how to assess these patients in the consult room, what to focus on in your clinical exam, how to build a sensible diagnostic plan, and how treatment and prognosis can vary depending on the cause.

We also discuss those tricky decision points—what you can manage in first opinion, what needs further investigation, and when referral is the right call.

If head tilt makes your heart sink a little, or you just want a clearer, more confident approach to these cases, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can use straight away in practice.
