✨ Meet Nelson! ✨
This sweet Lab is a true testament to what faith, medicine, and teamwork can achieve.

At just 3 weeks old, Nelson began showing neurological symptoms. By 18 weeks, he underwent a right-sided occipital craniotomy at the VSCAN to remove a large intrarachnoid cyst confirmed on MRI. Thanks to his incredible family’s faith, his curious and enthusiastic spirit, and the dedication of his medical team, Nelson not only recovered—he thrived.

Four years later, Nelson returned to VSCAN for a visit with Neurologist Dr. Philip Jull. It was inspiring to see him full of life, reconnecting with the people who helped him on his journey. 💙🐾

Here’s to Nelson—proof of resilience, love, and the power of veterinary medicine!
