Neurology
When a family pet is suffering from neurological issues, it can be very difficult for both you and your pet. The board-certified neurological specialist, Dr. Beatrix Nanai, is experienced in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and the neuro-muscular system of dogs and cats.
If your family vet suspects a neurological issue is causing unusual behavior or mobility issues, ask for a referral to speak to our specialist. Our center is equipped with modern and powerful diagnostic equipment, including one of the most powerful veterinary MRI machines on the Gulf Coast. From initial diagnosis through treatment and any needed surgery, our team will explain your options and work with you to identify the best course of action for you and your family.
Surgery
Our Surgery department is led by Dr. Beatrix Nanai and Dr. Rose Lemarie, Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. The Veterinary Emergency Referral Center is equipped to evaluate, treat, and manage a full spectrum of orthopedic, neurologic, and soft tissue surgical diseases in cats and dogs. All patients visiting the surgery service will receive a one-on-one consultation from Dr. Nanai or Dr. Lemarie and a diagnostic and treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of each patient. This ensures that each patient receives the best treatment available. Diagnostics including x-rays, computed tomography (CT), myelogram, spinal fluid collection and analysis or MRI may be indicated.
Post-operative management of surgical patients plays an important role in the outcome and well-being of the patient. The Veterinary Emergency Referral Center practices the highest quality in pain management. Appropriate pain control is important to speed recovery and ensure that each patient is as comfortable as possible in the post-operative period. Our hospital is fully staffed with doctors and nurses to care for your pet 24 hours a day, every day! This ensures the best possible uninterrupted pain management and medical care.
Emergency Care
Emergency situations affecting our animals often arise without warning. While most pet owners do everything they can to provide a safe and secure environment for their best friend, there are some situations that can’t be predicted or prevented. From visible trauma caused by dog bites, fights or being hit by a car to pets exhibiting unusual behaviors or symptoms, we diagnose and treat the underlying problems to ease their pain and put your animal on the path to recovery.
