Meet Bella! 💚🐾

Bella visited Compass Veterinary Neurology and Imaging in 2023 due to mentation changes, a head tilt, and ataxia (clumsy movements).

She had an MRI and spinal tap that showed significant inflammation of her brain and the tissues that surround it, a condition known as meningoencephalitis. Infectious disease testing was negative, and she was ultimately diagnosed with Meningoencephalitis of Unknown Etiology (MUE).

Bella was in critical condition, but after 5 days of hospitalization and intensive care, she was able to be discharged. Bella’s medications have been slowly tapered and adjusted, but she has officially graduated from CVNI!

We are so happy for Bella and her family! 🎉🐾

Meet Sandy! 🐾💚

Sandy visited Compass Veterinary Neurology and Imaging in May of this year for being unable to walk.

Sandy’s MRI revealed that she had disc herniations at both T13-L1 and L5-6. She had a two site hemilaminectomy immediately following her MRI to decompress her spinal cord.

After surgery, Sandy went to our Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner, Nikki, who completed many sessions of physical therapy.

Sandy has officially graduated 🎉. Although we will miss seeing her, we are happy she has gained the strength to no longer need us! 💚🐾
