A cardboard carrier. A back seat towel. Eyes the size of dinner plates staring up at you. That first ride home sets the tone for everything. Make it calm, make it quiet, and let them lead.

Do we really need an Emergency Service at Minnesota Veterinary Neurology?

The simple answer: YES.

In the month of June alone, we saw 90 emergency neurology consultations.

That's 90 pets who received immediate specialty care when every minute mattered. Without an emergency service, many of these patients would have been forced to wait for treatment—potentially impacting their recovery and outcome.

Neurologic emergencies don't follow a schedule. Whether it's a sudden seizure, paralysis, spinal trauma, or another urgent neurologic condition, having access to a board-certified veterinary neurologist can make all the difference.

We're proud to provide emergency neurologic care for your pets, because when the unexpected happens, your pet deserves timely, specialized care.

🐾 If your pet experiences a neurologic emergency, we're here when you need us.

When I brought my first dog home, I thought I was ready. I had the food, the bed, the little collar with the little tag. What I did not have was any idea how fast a regular wellness visit could catch something I would have completely missed on my own. Dental disease, a heart murmur, a parasite from the backyard. None of those announce themselves. Looking back, I would have started annual exams earlier and worried less about the stuff I could Google. What do you wish you had known? Tell us below.
