During a comprehensive physical examination in your home, our mobile veterinarians can evaluate your pet’s symptoms and neurological functioning as part of a head-to-toe assessment of your pet’s overall health.
Note: To book a neurological consultation, choose Wellness Exam for the service type, and specify the reason for your appointment.
If you have an older pet or a pet who is exhibiting cognitive or behavioral changes, our mobile veterinarians will come to you. For pets who may already be stressed due to a health condition, an in-home neurological exam will be much less disruptive.
All of our mobile veterinarians are trained to evaluate a pet’s neurological functioning in their home environment, removing the need for stressful car travel and unfamiliar clinics.
Our experienced veterinarians build time into their day to treat your whole pet. During your in-home visit, your veterinary team will provide personalized treatment plans and care for your pet's unique needs.
BetterVet offers flexible appointment times and same-day and next-day scheduling in many locations. Rather than sitting in a clinic lobby before your appointment, you can watch for your veterinarian’s arrival from the comfort of home.
Our veterinary team can more accurately conduct a neurological assessment in your pet’s home environment, where they can observe your pet’s functioning in familiar surroundings.
As part of your pet’s Wellness or Sick Exam, your veterinary team will discuss your pet’s age, history, symptoms, as well as complete a thorough neurological assessment.
During a head-to-tail examination, your veterinarian will check all the major systems of your pet’s body, to rule out a medical cause of any pet’s behavioral or cognitive changes.
During a neurological assessment, your veterinary team will typically evaluate your pet by testing their reflexes, muscle functioning, posture, and gait. Usually, a neurological assessment is performed due to a pet’s advanced age or when exhibiting symptoms such as:
Cognitive or behavioral changes
Disorientation and confusion
Head tilt and balance issues
An abnormal gait or body movements
Weakness and/or paralysis
Unusual or jerky eye movements
Pain along the spine, and neck, or back
Seizures
Before the end of your in-home visit, your veterinarian will create a treatment plan for your pet that may include medication, follow-up appointments, testing, or referrals to veterinary neurology specialists.
Our mobile veterinarians examine pets in their favorite spot - a comfy couch, a cozy pet bed, or even your lap! See how we work to keep pets relaxed and happy at home.
We came to Eugene to give our 11 year old Newfie a peaceful time. Worried he may have a UTI we called Eugene Mobile Vet and they came to us within 24 hours of our call! They took blood and urine and then recommended we seek a neurological exam. Otis was calm which doesn’t happen when we go into an office to be examined. They were not the least bit concerned about Otis’ size - he is 146 lbs. Then they went the extra mile and helped us secure a contact and an appt with the referring vet in Portland. We are so grateful to have found these kind, caring and skillful people to help us with our beloved Otis.
