The veterinarians at VSC are specially trained to provide neurological and ophthalmic care for your pet. Our facility boasts advanced equipment allowing us to perform outstanding diagnostic testing to aid in diagnosis and facilitate an appropriate treatment regimen for your pet; however, once your pet has been assessed and the necessary diagnostics performed, he or she will be transported to MSU CVM for any required surgical procedures. Your pet will stay under the care of a VSC specialist, and our surgical team will utilize the College’s Animal Health Center staff, including anesthesiologists and radiologists, as needed.
