  • Seizures or sudden collapses
  • Paralysis or weakness in limbs
  • Spinal injuries or back pain
  • Brain disease or tumors
  • Poor balance or coordination
  • Nerve or muscle disorders
  • Generalized weakness or mobility changes

A Collaborative Approach to Neurology

Some animals need a DoveLewis board-certified veterinary neurologist after experiencing an emergency, such as a car accident or fall. Other animals receive ongoing care to manage chronic conditions, or are referred for collaborative care from another department or veterinary clinic.
