The other “vet neuro guy”…

Let’s get to know Dr. Schachar!

If your epileptic dog seems more anxious, clingy, or “not themselves”- you’re not imagining it

Epilepsy can change how the brain processes emotion and stress, not just trigger seizures

We call this interictal anxiety- and recognizing it is the first step to helping them feel like themselves again. Ask your vet about medications that can reduce their anxiety and improve their quality of life!

POV: you just had spinal surgery but still find a way to be the goofiest patient in the hospital

Charlie provided plenty of entertainment during his hospitalization with us. We are also all smiles as Charlie has been improving following his IVDD surgery and got discharged today!

🚨 Learn how to help prevent dog dementia!

Most people don’t realize dogs can get a form of dementia similar to Alzheimer’s 🧠🐶

It’s called canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD)- and it’s often missed because the signs look like “just aging”

Watch for DISHAAL:
D – Disorientation
I – Interaction changes
S – Sleep-wake cycle changes
H – House soiling
A – Activity changes
A – Anxiety
L – Learning/memory loss

If your dog is 8+ and you’re noticing these… don’t ignore it, early intervention can make a real difference!

Meet Pacha, an avalanche dog in training at Deer Valley Resort

Dogs’ olfactory systems are neurologically extraordinary- they have about 300 million scent receptors (vs ~6 million in humans) and an olfactory brain center that is ~40× larger than ours proportionally! This allows them to detect human scent through air pockets in snow and locate individuals in situations where technology alone can’t

Avalanche dogs train for years to master search patterns, environmental resilience, and teamwork with handlers. They learn to cover large areas efficiently and recognize human scent, turning biology into life-saving skill

Fun fact: a trained avalanche dog can search an area the size of a football field in minutes- far faster than human teams alone

The canine nervous system is a remarkable example of evolution shaping brains for specialized tasks!

Super relaxing morning

Unfortunately pet spinal cords and brains don’t check the weather. Stay safe to all of those commuting in another northeast winter storm!

CT or MRI?? It depends!

IVDD recovery doesn’t end at discharge…
What you do at home matters!

Note: these exercises support recovery but do not replace formal rehabilitation. Professional rehab allows for advanced treatment such as underwater treadmill therapy, targeted strengthening, neurologic retraining, and a plan tailored to your pet’s specific deficits and stage of healing.

💪🏼Coco before and after treatment

Coco was diagnosed with a specific inflammatory disease of the central nervous system called idiopathic generalized tremor syndrome (IGTS)- also commonly known as “little white shakers” or idiopathic cerebellitis.

IGTS is a form of immune-mediated meningitis/meningoencephalitis that affects coordination and causes tremors and severe wobbliness, even though strength is often preserved.

To make this diagnosis, Coco underwent an MRI of the brain, a spinal tap (CSF analysis), and infectious disease testing to rule out other causes of neurologic disease.

The good news:
With appropriate treatment, the prognosis for IGTS is generally very good, and many dogs—like Coco—can return to a normal, happy life.

🧠 Not all neurologic diseases are progressive. Some are treatable and reversible!
