Step into the fascinating, and often misunderstood, world of veterinary neurology with this essential episode of the Paws & Effect Podcast.

We’re privileged to welcome Dr Ane Uriarte, EBVS® European Specialist in Veterinary Neurology and Neurosurgery, whose expertise spans continents and clinics alike.

Veterinary neurology is a rare and highly specialised discipline, shrouded in complexity and too often overlooked by pet owners. Yet, serious neurological conditions can strike without warning, leaving even experienced vets racing against time.

In this eye-opening discussion, Dr Uriarte reveals:

• Why neurological disorders are so much more than “just a seizure”
• The warning signs that every responsible pet owner should recognise
• The crucial difference between urgent action and unnecessary panic
• The immense skill required to diagnose and treat brain and spinal diseases in animals

If you’re devoted to your pet’s wellbeing, understanding the risks and realities of neurological problems is not optional, it’s essential.

Join us for a revealing conversation that demystifies a hidden world and empowers you with the knowledge that could one day save your pet’s life.
