Neurology & Neurosurgery

Pet Neurology

Pet Neurology in Abu Dhabi

At German Veterinary Clinic, our neurology and neurosurgery department provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for complex brain, spinal cord, and nerve disorders in dogs and cats.


Led by Dr. Sergio and supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team, we manage both medical and surgical neurological cases. German Veterinary Clinic receives referrals from across the UAE and internationally, serving as a trusted centre for advanced neurological care.

Advanced Neurological Diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective neurological treatment. Many neurological conditions present with subtle or rapidly progressing symptoms, making specialist assessment essential.

Comprehensive Neurological Examination

Every case begins with a detailed consultation and neurological examination. This allows us to localise if the issue involves the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, or muscles.


This step is critical in guiding further diagnostics and ensuring targeted treatment planning.

Veterinary Neurosurgery & Complex Procedures

When surgery is required, expertise and infrastructure matter. Neurosurgery demands specialised training, meticulous technique, and dedicated perioperative care.

Spinal Surgery

We manage spinal emergencies, including disc extrusions and compressive spinal cord injuries. Prompt surgical intervention in appropriate cases can significantly improve outcomes and mobility recovery. Each patient receives an individualised surgical and rehabilitation plan designed to optimise neurological function.

Craniotomies & Brain Surgery

German Veterinary Clinic performs advanced brain surgeries, including craniotomies for tumour removal and intracranial procedures. These highly specialised operations require advanced imaging, refined microsurgical techniques, and strict anaesthetic monitoring. Such procedures position German Veterinary Clinic among the few centres in the region capable of managing complex intracranial cases.

Intensive Monitoring & Post-Operative Care

Neurological patients require careful post-operative observation. We provide intensive monitoring, pain management, and neurological reassessment following surgery. Our team works closely with pet owners throughout recovery, providing clear guidance on rehabilitation and long-term management.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Our neurology service manages a wide spectrum of disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous system.

Brain Disorders

We diagnose and treat seizures, epilepsy, brain tumours, inflammatory brain disease, congenital malformations, and trauma-related injuries. Treatment may involve medical management, surgery, or a combination of both.

Spinal Cord Disorders

Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), spinal fractures, degenerative conditions, and compressive lesions are among the most common spinal presentations. Early assessment significantly influences prognosis and recovery potential.

Neuromuscular Conditions

Peripheral nerve injuries, neuromuscular weakness, and certain metabolic or immune-mediated disorders also fall within our expertise. Care plans are developed based on confirmed diagnosis and long-term functional goals.

For pets requiring surgical intervention, our advanced surgical department supports seamless perioperative management within the same facility.
