Neurological Pet Care We Offer
Our state-of-the-art animal hospital is fully equipped to handle any neurological problems your pet may have. Some of the procedures we may perform include:
MRI: a medical imaging technique that generates internal images which can be used to diagnose brain, spinal cord, or nerve diseases.
CT scan: an enhanced x-ray imaging technique that can be used to diagnose a variety of internal issues.
Biopsy: a medical test that involves extracting a small sample of cells or tissue to determine if a tumor or other abnormal growth is cancerous
Spinal tap: a specialized procedure in which a needle is inserted into an animal’s spinal canal to collect cerebrospinal fluid to diagnose a wide range of potential problems.
After your pet has been seen and tested by our skilled veterinary neurologist, they will receive a diagnosis and a customized treatment plan that may include medication, surgery, and/or physical therapy.
