Systematically and efficiently acquires the most comprehensive knowledge in the approach to neurological conditions such as epilepsy, vestibular syndromes and other delicate pathologies" 

This Specialization begins with a complete study of cranial nerve disorders. Due to its special importance and given its high incidence, it analyzes the vestibular syndrome, the anatomical notions of relevance in this syndrome, the assessment of whether we are dealing with a vestibular or peripheral syndrome, diagnosis and treatment. 

It addresses everything related to neuro-ophthalmology, establishes the differences between a neurological problem versus an ophthalmological problem, assessing the different causes of internal and external ophthalmoplegia. 

Finally, it examines movement disorders: Canine and feline epilepsy and involuntary movement disorders analyzed and schematized, compression, management and treatment are a very important group of nervous pathologies in the specialty of neurology. 

It addresses the most important and frequent syndromes in neurology consultation, which require extensive study, understanding and research by teachers, such as cognitive dysfunction syndrome, Horner syndrome and cauda quina syndrome. 

It examines the alterations of urination in dogs and cats, studies the nervous pathways that affect them, the causes of the dysfunction and their treatments. 

As health professionals and linked to the One Health concept, it focuses on the use and proper use of antibiotics for neurological pathologies where we will assess the problem of multi-resistant bacteria and alternative therapies to deal with them. We will also study other types of alternative therapies to treat the different ailments of neurological problems. 

Finally, it delves into the oncological treatment of tumors affecting the nervous system. On the one hand, it deals with the different types of chemotherapy and, on the other, with radiotherapy. 

It deals with emergency consultations in small animal neurology, examines, in an exhaustive manner, the physiopathogenesis of each entity, separately, and its therapeutic management. 

In this aspect, it deals in depth with the physiopathogenesis of cranioencephalic trauma: management, diagnosis and treatment, with special importance being given to the prognostic value in order to be able to correctly advise the patients' owners. 

Another field of great importance, and closely related to the pictures of increased intracranial pressure, will be the cluster and status epilepticus, being fundamental the management of these entities for a correct recovery. 

Finally, it analyzes in depth the most common toxic and metabolic emergencies, as well as collapse and flaccid tetraplegia.
