A variety of diagnostic tests can be used to help further characterize and diagnose neurologic disease in ruminant species. Cerebrospinal fluid is easily collected, and analysis can help in defining the broad category of disease. Diagnostic imaging, including radiography, myelography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and MRI, have all been used to varying degrees in ruminants. Advanced cross-sectional imaging techniques have the capacity to aid greatly in diagnosis, but their cost can often be prohibitive. Currently, electrodiagnostic tests are not well evaluated or used in the diagnosis of neurologic disease in ruminants.
多种诊断测试可用于进一步鉴别和诊断反刍动物的神经疾病。脑脊液易于采集，其分析有助于明确疾病的大致类型。诊断性成像技术，包括放射摄影、脊髓造影、超声检查、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像，在反刍动物中均有不同程度的应用。先进的横断面成像技术有能力极大地辅助诊断，但其成本往往令人望而却步。目前，电诊断测试在反刍动物神经疾病诊断中的评估和应用并不充分。
