Animal Emergency & Specialty Center - Parker (AESC)

Neurology & Neurosurgery
Veterinary neurologists treat injuries and illnesses that affect the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. These structures act as the driving force for the body, so when medical issues develop here, they can have far-reaching consequences to your pet’s health and ability to function normally. It takes a trained eye and hand to diagnose and treat these structures, especially when surgical intervention is needed. Our advanced technology and expertise help get your pet back on their paws after neurological functions have been impaired. We also offer physical rehabilitation services to assist in recovery if your pet’s mobility has been affected by a neurologic injury or disease.
