===Organisms causative of central vestibular or cerebellar disease===  
These include the bacteria listed above as causing peripheral vestibular disease (with the addition of ''Listeria monocytogenes'')and also protozoan diseases (eg. ''Encephalitozoon cuniculi'' and ''Toxoplasma gondii''). ''Encephalitozoon'' is not found in the inner ear tissue, only in the CNS where it causes a non-suppurative meningitis and a granulomatous encephalitis, sometimes accompanied by perivascular infiltration with lymphocytes and plasma cells. All areas of the brain are affected.

''E. cuniculi'' may yield biochemical test results indicative of renal disorder and positive serology for ''E. cuniculi'' antibodies. Note that ''E. cuniculi'' also causes ophthalmic lesions (capsular rupture, cataract development and phacoclastic [[Uveitis – Rabbit|uveitis]]).

Treatment of ''E. cuniculi'' is described [[Encephalitozoon cuniculi – Rabbit|here]]. For treatment of toxoplasmosis consider sulphonamides and be aware that clindamycin is extremely toxic in this species.
