Neurological signs of uraemic encephalopathy include obtunded mental status that can progress to stupor, muscle fasciculations (especially in facial muscles), head bobbing, generalized seizures and generalized weakness. In one retrospective study including 29 dogs, altered mental status was more common in dogs with chronic renal disease, whereas seizures were more common in dogs with acute renal failure (Fenner, 1995). Other clinical signs such as polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting and dehydration are reflective of renal failure.
