The nervous system is comprised of the brain, brainstem, spinal
cord, and nerves and muscles. It is both
a complex and highly sensitive system that controls even the most basic functions.
A disease affecting any one of these components can sometimes be a puzzle to
solve. Various neurological conditions may produce symptoms such as limb
paralysis, pain, vision problems, seizures and difficulty with balance. Frequently, more extensive diagnostic
evaluations are required in order to pinpoint the problem and provide treatment
options. Drawing on a vast knowledge of all aspects of the nervous system, a
solid foundation of general medicine, as well as keen observation skills, a
veterinary neurologist thrives on finding answers.
