Head pressing is a veterinary condition characterized by pressing the head against a wall or pushing the face into a corner for no apparent reason.[1] dogs , cats , cows , horses , and goats . Head pressing is usually a sign of a neurological disorder , especially of the forebrain (e.g., prosencephalon disease),[1] toxicity due to liver damage , such as portosystemic shunt and hepatic encephalopathy .[2]
It should be distinguished from bunting , which is a normal behavior found in healthy animals.
Possible causes
[ edit ]
Liver neurotoxicity
[ edit ]
A liver shunt is a congenital or acquired condition that may lead to toxicity and head pressing. Additional symptoms include drooling and slow maturation early in development. Middle-aged and older animals more commonly suffer from liver cirrhosis than younger animals.[4]
Viral causes
[ edit ]
Several viruses that cause encephalitis or meningoencephalitis can lead to the neurological sign of head pressing, such as eastern equine encephalitis and bovine herpesvirus 5 [5] [6]
