Plain-English summary
A working collie cross was brought in with vague neurological signs and a noticeable drooping of the right eyelid, a condition known as Horner's syndrome. After testing, the vet found a high level of antibodies to Neospora, a type of parasite that can affect the nervous system. The dog was treated for the infection, and all symptoms disappeared completely.
