Every organ and muscle in your pet’s body depends on the nervous system for proper function, so neurological disorders can impact their motor skills, sensory abilities, and cognitive function. At Family Vet Services, our skilled veterinarians are equipped to diagnose and help manage your pet’s neurological conditions. Many of the issues we encounter are treatable through medications and surgical interventions, ensuring your pet can lead a healthy and active life.
Common Conditions
Just like humans, pets can suffer from various neurological conditions. Some of the more common disorders we see include:
- Epilepsy
- Spinal cord injuries
- Head trauma, including concussions
- Brain tumors
- Ruptured discs
- Degenerative disc disease
If you notice any signs of neurological issues in your pet, it’s important to seek veterinary care promptly. Our team is here to help diagnose and manage these conditions effectively.
Signs of Allergies
When it comes to neurological conditions, our diagnostic equipment plays a crucial role in accurately identifying your pet’s issues. We will conduct a thorough neurological examination and may recommend additional diagnostics, such as digital imaging, to support our findings. Our experienced veterinarians will take the time to explain the results and ensure you understand the extent of your pet’s condition and the treatment options available. If needed, we may refer you to a specialist who can provide further diagnostic resources to enhance our understanding and approach to your pet’s care.
Treatment & Management
After confirming your pet’s condition, we will discuss the available treatment options with you. In some cases, medications can effectively manage issues like epilepsy and seizures, alleviate pain from injuries, or slow the progression of degenerative diseases. In other situations, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair damaged tissue, remove tumors, or relieve pressure from fluid accumulation. Whatever the condition, our goal is to find a solution that meets the needs of both you and your pet. Schedule an appointment today!
