When we first met Sully, he was lying on his side, completely unable to move or stand up on his own. He required spinal surgery urgently to give him the best chance at recovery.

We're happy to say that Sully strutted right back into our clinic for his post-op recheck exam! It's always rewarding to see our patients improve this much following treatment, which is no doubt a result of the effort and patience provided by families throughout their recovery.

We hope that Sully continues to improve, and we look forward to seeing an even bigger smile on his face at his next recheck!

A glimpse into our preparation process. Before any procedure begins, our team places an IV catheter to ensure safe and effective care for every patient. This small but essential step allows us to administer anesthesia, fluids, and medications quickly and reliably throughout diagnostics or surgery. Pictured here is Mika and Iza training Melissa, our new hire on carefully placing an IV catheter. 🐶❤️💉

Our staff has been working so hard recently, taking on extra emergency cases and staying late to ensure that our patients receive proper and timely treatment.

It's important to indulge in a coffee break every now and then; Duke certainly thinks so, but only if we bring him back a Pup Cup!

We would like to thank Smokey and his family for such a lovely and generous gift!

Smokey found himself unable to use his back legs well and required surgery to hopefully get him walking again. Here he is posing in front of the beautiful wooden flag his dad gifted us right before being discharged!

We are always so appreciative of the ways in which our pet parents say Thank You. 💙 Smokey, we wish you the very best as you heal and recover at home!

💉 September 28th is World Rabies Day 💉

Rabies is one of the most well-known neurological diseases that can affect any mammal, including humans, dogs, and cats. Once symptoms start, rabies is nearly 100% fatal; luckily, this disease is also 100% preventable with vaccination.

If unvaccinated, your pet could be at risk if they come into contact with wildlife or other cats/dogs; even indoor pets can be at risk if they escape or if wildlife enters the house.

Some signs of rabies can include:
🔵 Fearfulness or loss of fear
🔵 Aggression or unpredictable behavior
🔵 Hypersalivation
🔵 Difficulty walking
🔵 Paralysis
🔵 ...And other unexplained neurological signs.

Help protect your pet and others by scheduling your pet's rabies vaccine with your primary veterinarian today!

As temperatures cool and routines change, fall brings a few seasonal hazards for pets to keep in mind:

🍁 Keep pets away from mushrooms and other unknown plants they may find outdoors.

🎃 Keep pumpkins, decorations, and seasonal treats out of reach. Some foods and decorations can be dangerous if swallowed.

🕷️ Continue flea and tick prevention. Parasites remain active in many areas even as temperatures drop.

🌡️ Watch the weather. Cooler temperatures can be uncomfortable or dangerous, especially for small, senior, or short coated pets.

A little preparation can help keep your pet safe and healthy throughout the season. And if your pet gets into something they should not, our emergency team is here when you need us.

A massive shoutout to our Leesburg team for performing THREE spinal surgeries over two days!

Spinal discs can herniate at any time, meaning that our pets don't necessarily plan their ailments and injuries to occur "conveniently" for us. Many of our pet parents know this fact all too well, and we definitely experienced this when three of our patients herniated their discs all at once last week.

Thankfully, we were able to intervene quickly and give these pups the best chance at recovery. It was a tiring couple of days for everyone, but seeing how much better our patients feel afterward makes it all worth it. Sully—pictured here—even started to walk again the very next day!

Did you know that September is Animal Pain Awareness Month?

Specializing in neurology, we see a lot of diseases and injuries that result in pain to our furry family members. Sometimes signs of pain are obvious—yelping, groaning, and limping are a few examples.

But what are some other, more subtle indications of pain?
💥 Hiding or being less sociable
💥 Hesitating or refusing to use stairs, jump, or play
💥 Stiffness or changes in posture
💥 Increased clinginess, lethargy, or restlessness
💥 Irritability and aggression, especially when touched
💥 Excessive panting
💥 Increased licking, chewing, or grooming
💥 Having more accidents in the house or outside the litterbox
💥 Changes in facial expression (e.g., grimacing)
..and many more.

If your pet starts showing any of these signs, it's important to reach out to your primary veterinarian (or your established neurologist!) so they can be evaluated. Luckily, there are many treatments and pain medications that are available that could help your pet feel more comfortable. We all hope our animals can live their best lives, pain-free!

Every detail matters when it comes to your pet's care. That's why our team takes the time to double-check every medication we dispense—verifying the prescription, dosage, and patient information before it reaches your hands. This commitment to accuracy is part of our promise to deliver exceptional service and safe, effective treatment for every neurological patient we see. Here you can see Mika (RVT) preparing a patient's prescription while Kristen (VA) performs a thorough verification check to confirm the correct medication and dosage. 💊🐾

🐾 BVNS Su-Paw-Star 🐾 : Say hello to Phoebe! This sweet nine-year-old just came in for her six-month check-up after being diagnosed with late onset epilepsy. Thanks to her treatment with Keppra and a normal brain MRI, Phoebe has been seizure-free since October 2025 and is doing amazingly well. Here, you can see Phoebe calmly getting her bloodwork done like a superstar. Routine bloodwork every 6 months is recommended to ensure pets respond well to their medications and maintain optimal health. 🌟
