What Is Veterinary Neurology?
Veterinary neurology focuses on the central and peripheral nervous systems, which control everything from movement and coordination to behavior and sensation. When something goes wrong in these systems, it can lead to distressing symptoms like tremors, paralysis, disorientation, or even loss of consciousness.
While many general practitioners can manage mild neurological conditions, complex or severe cases require specialized care. That’s where our team steps in. We routinely diagnose and treat a wide range of disorders in both dogs and cats, including:
-
Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
-
Seizures and epilepsy
-
Encephalitis and meningitis
-
Brain and spinal tumors
-
Vestibular disease (balance disorders)
-
Stroke and cerebrovascular incidents
-
Degenerative myelopathy
-
Wobbler syndrome (cervical spondylomyelopathy)
-
Head trauma
-
Vertebral fractures
-
Paralysis or partial limb weakness (paresis)
-
Neuromuscular diseases (e.g., myasthenia gravis, polyneuropathy)
Whether your pet’s symptoms came on gradually or appeared overnight, our team is equipped to provide both rapid stabilization and long-term treatment solutions.

Our Neurology team works closely with pet owners to create tailored treatment plans that improve comfort and preserve function.
We also collaborate closely with your family veterinarian to ensure consistent care and ongoing communication throughout your pet’s treatment.
