Ever wonder what a veterinary neurologist is looking for during an exam?

Different nerves control different parts of your pet’s back legs, and each one starts at a specific spot along the spine. By watching how your dog or cat walks, stands, and responds to simple tests, Dr. Fred Wininger can narrow down where a problem is coming from. That helps guide the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

If you notice your pet stumbling, dragging a paw, or seeming weak in the back legs, talk with your family veterinarian. They can help decide whether a neurology visit makes sense.

✨ Meet Kelly! ✨

Kelly is our Facilities Manager, and she loves being part of the neurology team because she gets to see patients regain function and comfort. She values working alongside a team that truly improves a patient’s quality of life every single day 💙🐾

While Kelly doesn’t currently have pets at home, she has a soft spot for great pet names like Fuzzy White, Peanut, and Floyd (we agree — top tier names).

Outside of work, you’ll find Kelly hunting for antiques or tending to her garden 🌿 She loves the fresh start of spring, the crisp air of fall, and yes… she’s definitely a cat person.

Fun fact: If she weren’t in veterinary medicine, Kelly would be a homicide detective 🔍
(We’re glad she chose neurology instead!)

We’re so lucky to have Kelly keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes 💙🐾

Way to go, Niko!

🌟 Meet Rufus, the miracle pup who’s walking again just two weeks after surgery at The ANC! 🌟

Rufus’s mom, Judy, shared this incredible review with us:

“Words alone can't begin to express how grateful I am to Dr. Wininger and his staff. Rufus, my 6-year old longhaired dachshund, lost the use of his back legs. My vet immediately called The Animal Neurology Center, and the very next day he went into surgery. I am so pleased to announce that just two weeks later, my Rufus is walking again. It's nothing less than a miracle. Dr. Wininger's expertise in the field of neurology and neurosurgery is a shining example of what a great, passionate doctor can do to improve the lives of SO many pets. I would highly recommend The Animal Neurology Center. How lucky I am to have this incredible top-notch Center so close to my home.”

Here’s to Rufus, Rusty, and Andrew—three lucky rescue pups with hearts full of love! 💙

If your pet has experienced a transformation with us, we’d love to hear your story too! Share it with us by leaving a review below.
