Neurological conditions in pets can affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles, often causing symptoms such as seizures, difficulty walking, weakness, pain, or sudden changes in behavior. Prompt diagnosis and treatment by a veterinary professional are critical to achieving the best possible outcome.
Sky Canyon Veterinary Hospital works closely with Dr. Peter Maguire, DVM, MS, ACVIM, a board-certified veterinary neurologist, to diagnose and manage complex neurological conditions in dogs and cats. When advanced imaging, specialized diagnostics, or neurological surgery is needed, these veterinary neurology services are available locally in the Grand Valley, allowing pets to receive advanced care close to home.
Common conditions treated by a veterinary neurologist include:
Seizure disorders and epilepsy
Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
Spinal cord injuries
Brain tumors
Vestibular disease
Neuromuscular disorders
Sudden paralysis or weakness
Our team provides thorough neurological evaluations, pain management, and ongoing care before and after referral to ensure continuity of treatment and comfort for your pet.
If your pet is showing signs of a neurological condition, please contact Sky Canyon Veterinary Hospital to discuss diagnostic options and a consult with Dr. Maguire.
