Neurology

Neurological conditions affecting dogs and cats can be complex and often life-altering.  These may include intervertebral disc disease, epilepsy, meningitis, encephalitis, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, vestibular disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and cancers affecting the nervous system. 

Our neurology team is here to help.  With extensive experience in both medical and surgical management of neurological cases, we’re committed to providing your pet with the most advanced and compassionate care possible. We take the time to understand each case thoroughly and work closely with your family veterinarian to provide services ranging from consultation alone to comprehensive management of complex neurological diseases to ensure a seamless and collaborative approach to treatment.

Consultation with the neurologist begins with a thorough neurological examination, the goal of which is to localize the problem to a specific area of the nervous system. We can then recommend and discuss the most appropriate tests to reach a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.

Diagnostic modalities readily available include on-site MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computed tomography), digital radiography, and CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) analysis.
Consultations with the neurology team can be made by referral from your family veterinarian. We look forward to participating in your pet’s care.
