Meet Harry 🐾 — this handsome boy is a great example of our integrative approach to veterinary care.
Harry came in for vaccinations and his owners mentioned intermittent “pins-and-needles” tremors. His neuro exam and bloodwork were normal, so we asked for a video of an episode. From the video and results we suspected paroxysmal dyskinesia (PD), an episodic movement disorder causing involuntary muscle spasms or abnormal postures. PD is thought to arise from dysfunction in the basal nuclei brain region that helps to initiate and control movement, so abnormal activity there can cause sudden uncontrolled movements.
The exact cause of many PDs is unknown (idiopathic), though episodes can be triggered by stress, inflammation, excitement, or spontaneous neural activity. We consulted with a veterinary neurologist who agreed with our assessment.
We started a brain‑supportive plan which included a high‑quality balanced fresh diet and a premium fish oil supplement. After 3 months Harry has had no further episodes and is loving his new diet! 🐟
This is integrative care - thorough diagnostics, specialist collaboration, and nutrition‑forward treatment tailored for whole patient wellness.
