Idiopathic epilepsy in three gaur (Bos gaurus).
Idiopathic epilepsy was diagnosed in 3 gaur in a zoologic park collection during a 3-year period. Seizures were characterized by tonic rigidity of all limbs. Results of serum biochemical analysis, CBC, blood lead analysis, CSF analysis, and necropsy were within normal limits in all gaur. The role of heredity in development of seizures in these gaur is unclear because of limited founder stock of gaur in North America.
