The Neurology Service is happy to consult on patients with GSDM or other neurologic conditions; however, we can only look at the information we are provided. Copies of medical records, laboratory reports, neuroradiographic imaging, pictures and video footage of the patient should be provide where possible and where available. Video images should be digital in either AVI or MPEG formats. Standard VHS tapes can also be included. The materials will not be returned unless prior arrangements have been made. An interpretive summary of findings, list of differential diagnoses and appropriate diagnostic approaches will be made. Treatment options in general terms will be made (with appropriate doses, expectations and possible side-effects reported). The report will be emailed, faxed and mailed as indicated with the records. This service is only provided to the veterinarian of record and is intended as an educational guide toward the case. It is not intended to replace appropriate diagnostic testing and should not be used to replace sound medical judgment.

This interpretive consult cannot be made directly to the owner; only to the veterinarian of record who has an established, valid client-patient-veterinarian relationship. The summary of the findings will be sent to the veterinarian who can filter the results based upon direct knowledge of the patient's condition. We still hope that this interpretive consult will be helpful. The cost of the consult is $57.75 and results will be returned within 7 working days.
