Veterinary Neurology – Advanced care for nervous system disorders

Introduction

Neurological conditions in animals can manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms, affecting mobility, behavior and quality of life. Rapid, accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management and improved patient well-being.

We use state-of-the-art technology and a multidisciplinary approach to identify and treat nervous system disorders. Our specialized team makes accurate diagnoses and implements treatment plans tailored to each animal’s needs. Our specialized equipment includes :

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Detailed analysis of the brain and spinal cord
Computerized tomography (CT-Scan): Rapid examination of bone structures and soft tissue
Electrodiagnostics: Assessment of nerve and muscle function

Interdisciplinary collaboration and personalized follow-up

Our neurology specialists work closely with the departments of surgery, medical imaging, internal medicine and physiotherapy to optimize patient care. This multidisciplinary approach enables us to tailor treatments and maximize the chances of recovery.

Whether for a specialized consultation, advanced diagnosis or emergency care, our neurology department is available to provide specialized care, always with respect for animal welfare.
