19 JUNE 2023IN RECENT DECADES, VETERINARY MEDICINE HAS MARKEDLY ADVANCED, LEADING TO A GROWING NUMBER OF VETERINARY SPECIALTIES THAT MIRROR HUMAN MEDICINEinsight. Not that long ago, euthanasia might have been the most accessible solution to pet parents. But the past few years have seen a cultural shift in how people view and care for animals. Smaller creatures have moved into our homes, and are largely considered part of our families now. The demand for quality care has led to the emergence of board-certified veterinary specialists in just about every area of medicine available to humans.Southeast Veterinary Neurology (SEVN) exclusively treats diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles in dogs and cats from South Florida to Virginia Beach. Its neurologists are board certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, which ensures the highest level of training, experience, and expertise in neurology and neurosurgery. Most neurological conditions in pets are urgent. With fewer than 300 board-certified neurologists practicing in North America, it's no easy task, but SEVN strives to be available to people and their pets whenever they need us, day or night. Some of the most common conditions we treat in pets are: Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) Seizures Vestibular Disease Atlantoaxial (AA) Luxation Encephalitis Chiari-like Malformation and Syringomyelia Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE) Brain Tumors Discospondylitis Strokes In most cases it evaluates; advanced imaging is necessary for accurate diagnosing. SEVN uses the latest technologies for our services, including the most powerful MRI machines for animals, a multi-slice CT scanner, an ultrasonic aspirator for brain tumor removal, and tools to evaluate hearing and check for muscle and nerve disease. Some of our diagnostic testing includes: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) CT (computed tomography or CAT scan) Spinal Radiography (X-rays) CSF Analysis (cerebrospinal fluid analysis) Electrodiagnostic Studies EMG (electromyography) Nerve Conduction Studies BAER (brainstem auditory evoked response) Hearing TestAnd because we exclusively treat neurological conditions, we perform highly complex procedures every day and have completed thousands of successful neurosurgical procedures. Some of the procedures we perform at SEVN include: Spinal Surgery Hemilaminectomy and Ventral Slot for Intervertebral Disc Disease Stabilizations (Atlantoaxial, Lumbosacral, Fracture) Tumor Removal Cyst Resection Brain Surgery Tumor Removal and Biopsy Foramen Magnum Decompression for Chiari-like Malformation Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement for Hydrocephalus Nerve and Muscle BiopsyBut we don't just offer first-class neurological care to pets. We keep families together by providing second chances to pets with neurological disease and hope to the people who love them. We change outcomes and transform lives. Every day, we accomplish the impossible, like helping paralyzed pets walk again. And every day, we make it possible for people to enjoy their pets for the rest of their precious time together.
