Brain Tumour Surgery in Pets

Advanced Neurosurgical Care with Compassion at MaxPetZ Specialists

Overview

A brain tumour in your dog or cat can be one of the most worrying diagnoses a pet parent can face. At MaxPetZ Specialists, we combine advanced neurosurgical expertise with the latest diagnostic technology to give your pet the best possible outcome.

Our veterinary neurology team is led by highly experienced surgeons who perform complex brain surgeries regularly. We ensure every step—from diagnosis to recovery—is done with precision, care, and empathy.

When is Brain Tumour Surgery Needed?

Brain tumours can be either primary (starting in the brain) or secondary (spreading from another part of the body). Surgery is often recommended when:

• The tumour is accessible and can be removed or reduced safely.
• Symptoms such as seizures, loss of balance, or behaviour changes are affecting your pet’s quality of life.
• Imaging (MRI for diagnosis and surgical planning, along with CT for 3D reconstruction and printing a 3D model for operative planning) shows that surgery offers the best chance for relief or cure.

How We Diagnose

• MRI & CT Scans: High-resolution imaging to pinpoint the tumour’s location, size, and effect on surrounding tissues.
• Neurological Exams: Assessing brain and nerve function.
• Pre-Surgical Planning: 3D imaging, surgical navigation tools, and risk assessment.

Our Surgical Approach

• Performed by experienced veterinary neurosurgeons.
• Use of advanced microsurgical techniques for precision and minimal trauma.
• Intraoperative monitoring to ensure safety throughout the procedure.
• Post-operative ICU care with continuous monitoring and pain management.
• Post-operative rehabilitation by experienced and trained neuro-physiotherapists.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery times vary, but most pets stay in our hospital for 3–5 days after surgery. Our rehabilitation team may recommend physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and ongoing neurological monitoring. Many pets regain their quality of life, return to normal activity, and continue to enjoy years with their families.
