Frequently asked questions
- What advanced diagnostic tools are available at Southeast Veterinary Neurology?
- Southeast Veterinary Neurology utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, including the most powerful MRI machines for animals, a multi-slice CT scanner, an ultrasonic aspirator for brain tumor removal, and tools for evaluating hearing and checking for muscle and nerve diseases. They also perform Spinal Radiography, CSF Analysis, and Electrodiagnostic Studies.
- What types of neurosurgical procedures does Southeast Veterinary Neurology perform?
- The clinic performs a range of neurosurgical procedures, including spinal surgery, intervertebral disc surgery, stabilizations (atlantoaxial, lumbosacral, fracture), cyst resection, and tumor removal. Brain surgeries offered include tumor removal and biopsy, foramen magnum decompression, VP shunt placement, and nerve and muscle biopsy. They use a Carl Zeiss neurosurgical operating microscope and/or surgical loupes for these procedures.
- Why is MRI often recommended for pets with neurological symptoms?
- MRI is the advanced imaging modality of choice for examining soft tissues like the brain and spinal cord, as it can reveal diseases that X-rays and CT scans might miss. It provides a noninvasive, pain-free way to accurately diagnose conditions such as tumors, strokes, meningitis, and intervertebral disc disease, which helps in determining the best treatment plan.
- What is a Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) analysis and when is it used?
- A CSF analysis is a diagnostic test used by pet neurologists, often in conjunction with MRI, to help diagnose neurological symptoms such as neck or back pain, seizures, and balance problems. It evaluates the general health of a pet's nervous system and is useful for diagnosing conditions like tumors, inflammation, and infection by analyzing the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
- What is the background of the veterinary staff at Southeast Veterinary Neurology?
- Southeast Veterinary Neurology employs an excellent veterinary staff supporting their neurologists. Most technicians are certified or registered veterinary technicians with ten or more years of experience, and many also hold specialty certifications in veterinary neurology and MRI. Team members are selected for their dedication to patients, empathy for pet parents, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence.
