life-changing work we do every day.

ANC took ACVIM 2026 Seattle by force — in the lecture hall and on the wharf. Here are the highlights: Future ANC neurologist Dr. Kara Majors delivered a capstone lecture on vertebral malformations and best practices in treatment. Graduating resident Dr. Allison Dupoint won a research award for her presentation on swallowing dysfunction in brachycephalic breeds with cervical disease. Dr. Wininger capped Friday’s MRI lecture series with a deep dive into AI and its impact on neuroimaging. On Saturday, he inspired fellow veterinarians to take up the mantle of practice ownership and help take the profession back. Dr. Kristy Keyes, Ashley, and Alex supported the team while soaking up all the MRI and technical knowledge they could by day — and the best of the Pacific Northwest on the pier by night. Colleagues new and old came together for a special weekend of learning, camaraderie, and ANC pride.
Yesterday at #ACVIM2026, Dr. Kara Majors presented her research on spinal malformations in the flat-faced breeds many of you share your homes with. French bulldogs, pugs, and the rest of the curly-tailed crowd. Her work looked at how to help these dogs move more comfortably. We’re proud to have her as a part of The ANC team!
Poochella did not disappoint. 🐾🎉 The Animal Neurology Center was proud to have a booth at Poochella Adoption and Community Festival 2026 — and what a day it was. Dogs everywhere, incredible energy, and a community that clearly loves its pets deeply. Events like this are a reminder of why we do what we do. The bond between St. Louis and its animals is something special — and we are grateful to be part of the community that shows up for it. A huge thank you to @strayrescuestl for bringing this event to life and for the work they do every single day to give dogs a second chance. What you do matters. If you stopped by our booth — it was so wonderful to meet you. 🐶 #stlouis #stlpets #theanc #veterinaryneurology #VetNeuro #VeterinaryNeurology #VetMed
Can we skip to the good part? We absolutely can. Meet sweet Charlie — a dachshund who came to The ANC unable to walk, and left doing exactly that. Charlie underwent a ventral slot procedure performed by Dr. Keyes, and this before and after says everything that needs to be said. We are honored to care for these patients and live for outcomes like these! 📍 The Animal Neurology Center — St. Louis animalneurology.com | 314-246-9780
