Question: have you found any brain diseases in animals???

I agree with Charlotte, many of the brain diseases which animals can suffer from are similar to those which affect people. For example, dogs are known to be affected by what’s called Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD) which is similar to a person with dementia, in that they appear to become confused about their surroundings, they become more anxious. Of course, it’s difficult to be certain because we can’t compare directly/do the same kind of diagnostic tests that we would use in a person because dogs can’t answer questions or tell us what they’re thinking. Other brain diseases that are similar for animals and humans are things like rabies (an infectious, fatal disease) which is actually transmitted direct from dogs to people via broken skin contact with saliva (we usually think of this involving a dog biting a person but it doesn’t actually have to be a bite) Animals can also suffer from a brain tumour in a similar way to humans, although we don’t have as much opportunity to treat those as doctors who are treating humans.
