Meet Sharkey! 🦈

This brave boy came to our Neurology Service on 9/30 because he was walking gingerly on his hind legs and avoiding stairs and jumping. After a thorough exam, we performed an MRI that revealed a herniated disc at L5-6, severely compressing his spinal cord. Our board-certified neurologist Dr. Suzanne Rosen performed a hemilaminectomy to remove the disc. Since discharge, Sharkey’s owners report he is doing well and continues to improve at home!

Montana is a Stage III lymphoma survivor, having completed chemotherapy back in 2018 — and her lymph nodes are still feeling soft and small, which is great news! She continues to recheck every few months with one of our oncologists, Dr. Colleen Martin.

Montana's loving family and continued care have made all the difference in her journey — and we’re so happy to be a part of her wellness team.

See you in a couple months, Montana!

A local family was hit with a tragedy recently, while they were out, their home caught on fire, and their pets were trapped inside. The brave men and women of the Coatesville Fire Department were able to get the 4 dogs and 2 cats out of the house and brought them immediately to VRC.

Three dogs; Willow, Chunky, and Gunner, and two cats; Nala and Salem, were treated by our Emergency team with oxygen, medications, and supportive care and were discharged within 48 hours. Sadly, the family lost their fourth dog in the fire.

We’re happy to report that all 5 pets are doing well and continuing to improve every day. The owners were able to get a few snapshots of the dogs adjusting to their new surroundings- the cats, however, chose not to participate.

A SpotFund account has been created to help the family rebuild their lives following this terrible event. Donations can be made by using this link here: http://spot.fund/kvq3s61sc

Ever wondered why your vet may recommend an MRI for your pet? MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is one of the most advanced diagnostic tools available for veterinary neurology. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, an MRI gives us a clear, detailed image of your pet’s brain, spinal cord, and nerves without using radiation. It helps diagnose conditions such as:

🧠 Disc disease
🧠 Brain tumors
🧠 Spinal cord injuries
🧠 Neurological disorders (like seizures or balance issues)

By providing a detailed view of these critical areas, MRI allows us to pinpoint the cause of your pet’s symptoms and create a treatment plan that best suits their needs. If your vet suggests an MRI, it’s because they want the clearest possible picture of what’s going on inside your pet’s body.
