(2)

Our team, comprised of board-certified neurologists/neurosurgeons and highly trained support staff in a specialized hospital environment, will work closely with your primary care veterinarian to provide unparalleled care to your companion. We will work with you, the pet owner, to ensure your pet’s neurological disease is clearly explained and the associated treatment options are thoroughly discussed. Every day we strive to make a positive difference in pets’ and pet parents’ lives. The SCAN Team recognizes that each pet and pet owner have an individual set of circumstances that can and should be the driving force in veterinary-related decision-making. For most of our clients, their beloved pet is also their family member, thus we will strive to provide pet owners with as much information as possible and counsel them to make appropriate, sometimes difficult, decisions about what type of treatment will be the best for their pet. Compassion will be the underlying theme in all of our diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations.

🐾 Meet Fausto… aka Brussel Sprout! 🌱💚
This little Brussels Griffon may be named Fausto, but around SCAN, he’s affectionately known as Brussel Sprout! 🥦🐶
After his MRI, Teri was right there to give this sweet little guy some extra TLC — performing laser therapy to support his recovery and keep him as comfortable as possible. ❤️
At SCAN, caring for our patients means more than advanced diagnostics and treatment. It’s about the little things too — the gentle hands, the reassuring voices, and the people who make sure every patient feels safe and loved. 🥰

🐾💙 Happy National Dog Week from SCAN! 💙🐾

This week, we’re celebrating the dogs who make our lives better in ways only they can. The goofy ones, the snuggly ones, the mischievous ones, the brave ones—and all the special souls in between. 🐶

At SCAN, we know that dogs aren’t “just pets.” They are family, best friends, adventure buddies, comforters, and sometimes the reason we smile on the hardest days. ❤️

We are honored to care for so many incredible dogs and to be part of their journey when they need us most. Every wagging tail, wet nose, happy reunion, and successful recovery reminds us why we do what we do.

So this National Dog Week, give your favorite four-legged family member an extra treat, an extra belly rub, and maybe let them have that spot on the couch. 😉

🐾 Here’s to the dogs who fill our homes with love and our hearts with purpose.

Happy National Dog Week from all of us at SCAN! 🐶💙

Celebrating 6 Years of Dr. Ashley Kelley! 🎉🐾

This week we’re celebrating a very special 6-year SCANNIVERSARY for Dr. Ashley Kelley! 💙

Dr. Kelley is known for her incredible compassion and genuine love for every patient who comes through our doors. While she has a soft spot for all of her patients, Dachshunds hold a particularly special place in her heart—and with three of her own at home, it’s easy to see why! 🐾❤️

Being a veterinary neurologist means more than seeing patients during the day. It means late-night surgeries, weekend emergencies, long days, and being there when families need you most. Dr. Kelley handles all of that with incredible grace while also balancing the very important role of being a mom. 💙

We are so grateful for the knowledge, compassion, dedication, and heart she brings to SCAN every single day.

Happy 6-Year SCANNIVERSARY, Dr. Kelley! 🥳
Thank you for everything you do for our patients, their families, and our team. We are so lucky to have you! 💙🐾

🐾❤️ Happy National Dog Day! ❤️🐾

Today, we’re celebrating all the dogs who have graced our lives with their unconditional love, endless companionship, goofy personalities, and those little moments that make every day better. 🐶💕

Whether they’ve been by our side for a lifetime, are currently filling our homes with joy, or have touched our hearts for a short time — dogs have a way of leaving paw prints on our hearts forever. 🐾

They comfort us when we need it, make us laugh when we least expect it, keep us active, teach us patience, and somehow convince us that sharing our food is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. 😂

At SCAN, we’re especially grateful for every dog who walks through our doors and reminds us why we do what we do every day. 💙

Happy National Dog Day to all the good boys, good girls, couch potatoes, troublemakers, adventure buddies, and everything in between! 🐾🐶

Tell us about the special dog who has left a paw print on your heart! ❤️

💫 A Little Bracelet, A Lot of Meaning 💫
Sometimes the simplest team-building activities can have the biggest impact. 💙
Our SCAN team recently spent some time creating friendship bracelets for one another — but these weren’t just any bracelets. Each person chose a word of affirmation that reflected something special they see in the person receiving it.
✨ KINDful
🌿 GROUNDED
🧘‍♀️ MINDFUL
🔥 FIERCE
💡 BRIGHT
⭐ EXCEPTIONAL
💪 DILIGENT
🦸‍♀️ SUPER-WOMAN
😊 HAPPY
What makes these words so meaningful is that they came from the people who work beside each other every day. They recognize the qualities, strengths, and personalities that each team member brings to SCAN.
Team building isn't always about big events or elaborate activities. Sometimes it's simply taking a moment to say, “I see you. I appreciate you. And this is what makes you special to our team.” 💙
We are grateful for this group of people and the unique qualities each person brings to our SCAN family. Together, we are stronger! 🐾

🐾 Advancing Wildlife Medicine Through Collaboration 🐾
Last week, the team at Specialists in Companion Animal Neurology (SCAN) had the privilege of assisting the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) with an important investigation involving a bobcat suspected of having Feline Leukomyelopathy (FLM).
FLM is a neurological disorder affecting some Florida panthers and bobcats that causes weakness and incoordination in the hind limbs, making it difficult for these incredible animals to walk. While the condition was first identified in 2018, its underlying cause remains unknown, and researchers continue working to better understand this devastating disease.
This particular case was especially significant because opportunities to evaluate a live animal actively showing clinical signs are extremely rare. SCAN performed advanced neurological diagnostics, including:
🧠 MRI
💉 Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Collection
⚡ Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies

This is the first confirmed FLM case to undergo EMG and nerve conduction testing, providing valuable information that could help researchers better understand this disease and guide future conservation efforts.

We are honored to partner with FWC in supporting the health and conservation of some of Florida's most iconic and endangered species. Every case brings us one step closer to unlocking the mystery of FLM and protecting these remarkable cats for generations to come.

💙 Thank you to the dedicated veterinarians, biologists, wildlife officers, and researchers whose collaboration makes work like this possible.

Florida residents can support panther conservation efforts by purchasing a "Protect the Panther" license plate. If you see an injured, sick or dead panther, please contact the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) so that trained experts can respond.

🐾 Puppy Spotlight: Meet MJ! 🤍

This adorable 10-week-old Bull Terrier, MJ, visited SCAN today for a BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) hearing test.

BAER testing is an objective way to screen puppies for congenital deafness before they head to their new homes. This is especially important for pure white dogs, as they are significantly more susceptible to hearing loss than their colored counterparts. Studies show that approximately 10–20% of pure white Bull Terriers are born with partial or complete deafness. This occurs because the pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) needed for the normal development of the inner ear are absent in some white-coated dogs.

We're thrilled to share that MJ passed her BAER test with flying colors! 🎉👏

Early screening helps breeders and families make informed decisions and ensures every puppy gets the best possible start in life.

Congratulations, MJ! We know you have a bright—and now officially well-heard—future ahead of you! ❤️🐶

🌟 Team Member Highlight: Courtney 🌟

Today we’re shining the spotlight on Courtney, one of the incredible team members who helps make SCAN special! 🐾

Courtney began her veterinary journey in 2018 as a kennel technician and groomer in general practice. Her passion for patient care led her to grow into the role of veterinary assistant, continuing to build her knowledge and skills every step of the way.

For the past 1½ years, Courtney has been an integral part of the SCAN team. She has become highly skilled in anesthesia and patient monitoring, MRI procedures, and surgical assisting—bringing dedication, compassion, and a willingness to learn to every case she supports.

Originally from Phoenix, Arizona 🌵, Courtney earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Florida before making her way to Naples. When she’s not caring for our patients, she enjoys spending time with her two cats, Cleo and Oliver. 🐱🐱

We are so grateful to have Courtney as part of our SCAN family. Her hard work, teamwork, and commitment to our patients and their families truly make a difference every day. 💙

Thank you, Courtney, for all that you do! 🐾

💛 The sweetest surprise from one very special patient. 💛

Some patients leave paw prints that stay with us forever.

Recently, we said goodbye to our beloved patient, Snacks. Throughout his journey—from neck surgery and MUE to seizures and every challenge in between—he faced each day with courage, surrounded by a family who loved him beyond words.

This week, Snacks' mom, Michelle, surprised our team with a beautiful "Snack Box" filled with treats and the most heartfelt letter thanking Dr. Kelley, Lisa, our technicians, and every member of our neurology team for the care, compassion, and love shown to Snacks throughout his life.

Her words reminded us why we do what we do.

Veterinary medicine isn't just about diagnosing and treating disease. It's about building relationships, celebrating victories, supporting families through difficult decisions, and loving each patient as if they were our own.

Michelle wrote that saying goodbye to our team was one of the hardest parts of losing Snacks because we had become part of their family. There is no greater compliment than that.

Michelle, thank you for your incredible kindness and generosity. Your thoughtful gift means so much, but your words mean even more. We were honored to be part of Snacks' journey, and we will always remember his sweet face and joyful spirit.

Run free, sweet Snacks. 🌈🐾 You will forever have a place in our hearts.

❤️ Thank you to every family who entrusts us with the care of your beloved companions. It is a privilege we never take for granted.

Happy Independence Day from SCAN!

As we celebrate the 4th of July with family, friends, and fireworks, we'd like to remind pet owners that this holiday can be stressful—and even dangerous—for many pets.

Loud noises and unexpected fireworks can trigger anxiety, panic, and in some cases neurological episodes in sensitive pets. To help keep your furry family members safe and comfortable:

🐾 Keep pets indoors in a secure, quiet area
🐾 Ensure ID tags and microchip information are up to date
🐾 Provide a safe space with familiar bedding and toys
🐾 Close windows and curtains to help reduce noise and flashes
🐾 Consult your veterinarian in advance if your pet has a history of anxiety, seizures, or noise sensitivity

At SCAN, we are grateful for the opportunity to care for your beloved companions throughout the year. We wish you and your pets a safe, happy, and healthy Independence Day!

❤️🤍💙 From all of us at SCAN Neurology
