UF Small Animal Hospital
Neurology & Neurosurgery
Specializing in complex cases and problems that persist despite treatment.
The UF Small Animal Hospital’s Neurology and Neurosurgery Services provide expert care for your pet from our board-certified neurologists and experienced veterinary professionals. We utilize cutting-edge technology and collaborate with other specialists to ensure the best possible diagnosis and treatment.
We offer appointments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for initial and follow-up visits. Procedures are typically scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During your initial visit, we will evaluate your pet, discuss our findings, and recommend a treatment plan. Some procedures can be performed the same day, while those requiring anesthesia (CT, MRI, surgery) are usually scheduled for the following day.
Our services include:
- Diagnosis and management of epilepsy and other seizure disorders
