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
The May newsletter from The Animal Neurology Center is live. 🐾 This month we are leading with Ripley — a dog who chased an armadillo off a cliff, fractured her lumbar spine in one of the most severe cases we have ever seen, and somehow came back five months later running, swimming, and fetching like nothing happened. Her story, her imaging, and her owner's words as a fellow veterinarian are all inside. Here is what else is in this edition: 🐾 Ripley's Case — A catastrophic L7 spinal fracture, a surgery that pushed the limits of spinal stabilization, and a recovery that left the whole team in awe. Plus a note from her mom, Dr. Melanie Kerschbaum, DVM. 🎓 From the Owner — Fred asks a question that does not have a comfortable answer: why do we hold post-graduate veterinary education to such a dramatically lower standard than veterinary school itself? And what The ANC is doing about it. 🔬 Industry Partners: Karl Storz — How 27x magnification changed the way surgery is performed at The ANC — and why it matters for your pet. 🩺 ANC Academy Workshop Recap — Neurologists from across the country and from Guatemala. Full clinical immersion. Real cases. Real decisions. The next evolution of veterinary surgical education. 🏅 Superlatives — Meet the overnight patients who earned their ribbons this month. Jamie and Casi, we see you. Read the full May newsletter- link in bio! #stlpets #animalneurologycenter #dogsofstl #stldogmoms #stlouis #stl #catsofstl
