Ever wonder what a veterinary neurologist is looking for during an exam? Different nerves control different parts of your pet’s back legs, and each one starts at a specific spot along the spine. By watching how your dog or cat walks, stands, and responds to simple tests, Dr. Fred Wininger can narrow down where a problem is coming from. That helps guide the next steps in diagnosis and treatment. If you notice your pet stumbling, dragging a paw, or seeming weak in the back legs, talk with your family veterinarian. They can help decide whether a neurology visit makes sense. #ANC #TheAnimalNeurologyCenter #AnimalNeurology
