Neurology and Neurosurgery service

The Neurology and Neurosurgery service at the Hospital for Small Animals is one of the largest in the UK and is comprised of some of the most highly trained and qualified neurologists, with both European and American board-certified Specialists in Veterinary Neurology and Neurosurgery. 

We provide a high standard of care and quality of life for patients with neurological illness.

We commonly see cases including:

  • seizures
  • tumours (brain or spinal cord)
  • neuropathies
  • head and spinal cord trauma
  • degenerative disease

We have advanced imaging equipment and facilities, including:

  • MRI
  • CT
  • fluoroscopy
  • electrodiagnostic equipment (for EEG and EMG and BAER)

Working with colleagues in other services such as physiotherapy (REPAIR centre) and oncology, we can offer a complete range of cutting edge diagnostic and treatments, to provide a truly holistic approach to care.

We offer a 24-hour Specialist service and provide free advice and free telemedicine service for referring veterinarians.
