Did you know dogs can have strokes, too?
When Sadie suddenly became unable to walk and developed significant weakness on the left side of her body, our Neurology team performed an MRI, which revealed a stroke affecting the right side of her forebrain.
The good news? With supportive care and time, many pets can make remarkable recoveries - and Sadie was one of them. Just two weeks later, Sadie returned for her recheck walking normally, with a normal neurologic exam.

Neurologic emergencies can be frightening, but advanced imaging like MRI allows us to quickly identify the cause and guide the best treatment plan for our patients. ❤️🐾
