Neurological & Spinal Specialist Care
Neurosurgery
Neurological conditions can be frightening for pet owners and challenging to diagnose. Our neurosurgery team combines advanced imaging — including CT — with specialized surgical techniques to treat conditions of the spinal cord. We work closely with your primary veterinarian to provide timely, expert care when it matters most.
Procedures We Perform
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) Surgery
Hemilaminectomy, ventral slot, and dorsal laminectomy procedures to decompress the spinal cord and relieve pain or paralysis caused by disc herniation.
Spinal Stabilization
Fixation of vertebral fractures, luxations, and instability using implants and bone cement to restore spinal alignment and protect the cord.
Atlantoaxial Instability Repair
Surgical stabilization of the C1-C2 joint — most common in toy breeds — to prevent life-threatening spinal cord compression.
Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Biopsy, decompression, and repair of peripheral nerves affected by trauma, entrapment, or neoplasia.
Conditions We Treat
- Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) — cervical and thoracolumbar
- Spinal cord compression and myelopathy
- Atlantoaxial instability
- Vertebral fractures and luxations
- Degenerative myelopathy (supportive care)
- Lumbosacral stenosis (cauda equina syndrome)
- Brachial plexus injuries
