Veterinary Neurology and Imaging of the Chesapeake

Veterinary neurology is the branch of medicine that treats diseases of the nervous system; the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles.

Veterinary Neurology and Imaging of the Chesapeake (VNIOC) was founded by Dr. Jay McDonnell, a board-certified veterinary neurologist with more than 15 years of clinical experience, who has been practicing in Maryland since 2004. This encompasses such common problems as epilepsy, slipped disks, spinal and head injuries, meningitis, and cancer of the nervous system. As in human medicine, veterinari

ans are increasingly specializing to provide the best care for your companion. Patients can be seen by Dr. McDonnell in Hunt Valley, Maryland. To schedule an appointment 410-828-0911 ext 5. Veterinary MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT (computed tomography) is available and can be scheduled for any diagnosis needing detailed imaging. VNIOC also offers BAER testing (brainstem-auditory-evoked-response testing), the only 100% reliable method for determining that a dog is deaf.

Today we’re celebrating Beth — one of the absolute cornerstones of our hospital and someone we truly could not do this without.

Beth is one of the hardest working people on our team and plays an enormous role behind the scenes every single day. She performs our MRI imaging, helps manage programs and maintenance for the MRI, and somehow still finds time to jump in wherever help is needed when things get busy. She started with MRI, expanded her expertise into CT, and even helped train our newest CT technician!

Simply put: without Beth, our operation would look very different. Her knowledge, dedication, and willingness to step up make an impact that reaches every patient we help.

Outside the hospital, Beth is a proud mom to her daughter Norah, a plant enthusiast 🌿, and a devoted cat lover who recently welcomed two new kittens into the family 🐱🐱 She also enjoys trying new recipes, keeping up with her ever-growing plants, and finding fun events around Baltimore.

Beth, thank you for everything you do for our patients, our team, and this practice. We’re so lucky to have you and grateful for all the ways you keep us moving forward. 💙

A Birthday Recovery Worth Celebrating: Meet Bette Davis! 🐾🎉

When sweet Bette Davis came to us in late January, she had gone from having back pain to being unable to walk on her own due to weakness in her hind legs. An emergency MRI revealed the cause — a slipped disc (IVDD) with associated bleeding that was putting pressure on her spinal cord.

On her fifth birthday, Bette underwent emergency surgery with Dr. Julianna Mannix.
Recovery wasn’t completely straightforward, and Bette spent a few extra days with us while we monitored her progress and supported her through rehabilitation and bladder care. Her family also had an important role at home, helping with exercises, activity restriction, and post-op care.

And the result? ✨
At her two-week recheck, Bette was walking well, and no additional follow-up was needed! Stories like Bette’s remind us why early recognition and treatment matter so much for pets with IVDD. We’re so proud of this little fighter and thrilled she’s back on her paws.

We’re honored to have supported the incredible work of both BARCS and Show Your Soft Side — an organization dedicated to ending animal abuse through compassion, education, and advocacy — at last month’s Pawject Runway event.

Their message that kindness toward animals is a sign of strength has inspired so many throughout our community, and the impact of their recent fundraiser and adoption event was truly amazing:

🐾 $250,000 raised
🐾 1,100 attendees
🐾 22 animals adopted into loving homes

We’re proud to support organizations working to create a safer, more compassionate world for animals and the people who love them. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and opened their hearts to pets in need. 💙

This week we’re celebrating our fourth anniversary of working with Anna, one of our incredible Registered Veterinary Technicians! 💙

Anna is the definition of dedicated. She shows up fully for her patients and her team every single day. She’s often one of the first to jump in when help is needed, whether that means staying late for an emergency or stepping up to keep the day running smoothly. Her sharp focus and personality help her tackle even the most challenging moments with clarity and purpose.

Her love for animals doesn’t stop at work. At home, Anna lives on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, cows, chickens, horses, and even a mini pig—and she recently added a new puppy to her crew! She also has a deep-rooted love for equines, making her connection to animal care truly part of her everyday life.

Outside the clinic, Anna values family time (and with a big family, there’s plenty of it!). She’s also excited to become a third-time aunt this summer. When she’s not with family, you’ll likely find her at the gym or exploring her latest foodie obsession—fancy ramen 🍜

Anna, thank you for your hard work, your reliability, and the heart you bring to everything you do.

This week, we had so much fun celebrating our incredible Patient Care Coordinators—the true frontline of our hospital and the voices that keep everything moving.

We kicked things off with Receptionist Bingo (with daily boards and prizes 🎉), followed by a team game of “Spot the Fake” where our PCCs shared real (and not-so-real) client stories. It gave the rest of our team a glimpse into what they navigate every single day… and just how much they manage and filter for all of us behind the scenes.

We wrapped up the week with a few small tokens of appreciation, but more importantly, a lot of gratitude for everything they do.

To Alexis, Mackenzie, and Ciara—thank you for your patience, your humor, your organization, and the care you show every client and patient who walks through our doors. We truly couldn’t do this without you. 💙

This month we’re celebrating Rylie, one of our incredible technicians and an absolute rockstar on our team!

Rylie has officially been a licensed technician for over a year, and her passion for patient care shines through in everything she does. She brings such a warm, loving presence with her patients and our whole team. She has a way of making everyone feel like family.

Rylie may be the youngest on our team, but her work ethic and dedication are truly unmatched. Add in her bubbly personality and constant smile, and it’s no surprise she’s loved by both clients and coworkers alike.

Outside of work, Rylie keeps busy baking (we’re big fans of the treats she brings in! 🍪), spending time with her boyfriend Luke, and caring for her many pets. She has a love for all living things—and is famously our go-to bug catcher 🐛

She also enjoys time with family and friends, and anything involving Lego or Disney. And recently, she’s stepped into a brand new role—first-time aunt! 💕

Rylie, we’re so lucky to have you on our team.

Happy Veterinary Receptionists Week!

This special week is dedicated to celebrating the hardworking and compassionate individuals who serve as the backbone of veterinary practices. Veterinary receptionists play a crucial role in the smooth operation of clinics, acting as the first point of contact for pet owners and ensuring a welcoming environment.

They manage appointments, handle emergency calls, and often provide comfort to anxious clients and their furry companions. Their dedication and multitasking skills help maintain the flow of daily operations, making them an indispensable part of the veterinary team.

Let's take a moment to appreciate their contributions and thank them for their unwavering commitment to animal care and customer service.

Join us in celebrating these amazing ladies!

Each year, 11,000-12,000 unwanted, abused and stray animals arrive at Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS Animal Shelter ): dogs, cats, kittens, puppies and even wildlife and exotic animals. BARCS is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest open-admission animal shelter and pet adoption center nestled in downtown Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood.

Pawject Runway is a fundraiser and adoption event that brings together adoptable dogs and cats from BARCS with Show Your Soft Side’s “Big Softies” including pro athletes, media personalities, musicians, and local leaders. Big Softies walk animals down the runway, help share their stories, and spark real connections that often lead to forever homes!

We hope you'll join us in supporting this event and BARCS, Maryland’s largest open-admission shelter, by attending, donating, fostering or becoming a BARCS volunteer. Giving back has always been a cornerstone of VNIoC’s practice. That's why we've always supported (BARCS) and its fundraising efforts, including Pawject Runway.
