MRI Services in AA County!
Veterinary MRI now available in Anne Arundel County!
I am very excited to announce that we are going to be
able to provide magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) services to animals in the
Annapolis and surrounding Anne Arundel county area. With it's excellent soft-tissue
detail and three-dimensional reconstruction, MRI is one of the most powerful imaging
techniques uniquely suited for the central nervous system. MRI is a very safe,
non-invasive and painfree way to evaluate structures within the body.

New DNA Test Available for Canine Degenerative Myelopathy
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a chronic
progressive disease of the spinal cord in dogs.
It is an insidious disease that affects dogs typically between 7 and 14
years of age. Initially, dogs become ataxic (in coordinated) in the hind limbs
and typically progresses over 6 months to 2 years eventually causing paralysis.
DM has been described in a large number of dogs including German Shepherd Dogs,
Boxers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Rhodesian Ridgebacks and
both breeds of Welch Corgis. This is one of our most frustrating diseases
because of the difficulty in diagnosing and treating it. We have no proven
treatment for DM except for symptomatic and supportive treatment. Now for the
first time, we can test dogs for the mutated gene responsible for DM using a
simple DNA test.
