🐾 The March 2026 ANC Newsletter is here! This month we're sharing the story of Bacchus — a sweet terrier mix who came to us in so much pain he could barely be examined. After being seen by multiple vets with no clear answers, an MRI revealed the true culprit: a severe spinal infection that had collapsed the bones in his lower spine. Surgery gave him his life back, and he hasn't looked back since. We're also talking about the future of veterinary education, recapping Dr. Wininger's whirlwind at WVC 2026 (including one very memorable lecture where the monitors went dark and he had to act out gait abnormalities live 😂), and handing the Cutest Patient Award to Nanuk the Husky — who delivered a full dramatic performance during his neurologic exam and recovered like a champ. Clinical updates, heartwarming recoveries, exciting upcoming events, games and more. It's all in the newsletter, now available at AnimalNeurology.com.
Celebrating Hank’s Cytarabine Graduation! Cytarabine is one of the tools we use to help pets with inflammatory neurologic disease feel better and regain quality of life. Today, we’re celebrating progress, and this very adorable patient Hank. Reaching this milestone represents more than the completion of a treatment phase, but also a success of a partnership and effort between Hank's family and our dedicated ANC care team. These journeys aren’t always easy, but open communication, shared decision-making, and a whole lot of dedication make all the difference. We’re thankful to have worked so closely with Hank’s family to support him along the way and are proud to celebrate this moment together. Way to go, Hank! #stlouis #stlpets #theanc #veterinaryneurology #VetNeuro #VeterinaryNeurology #VetMed
