The AI Front Desk Built for Veterinary Neurology

Neurology practices handle some of the most time-critical referrals in veterinary medicine — acute paralysis, seizure clusters, vestibular episodes. Puppilot triages urgent cases immediately, schedules MRIs and consults, and coordinates with referring veterinarians so your neurologists can focus on diagnostics and treatment.

Veterinary Neurology

Built for the Urgency Neurology Cases Demand

Veterinary neurology practices receive referrals that range from chronic seizure management to emergent spinal cord compression requiring same-day intervention. Puppilot understands the difference — triaging acute neurological emergencies for immediate attention while efficiently managing routine consult scheduling, medication follow-ups, and MRI coordination.

  • 🧠 Urgent neuro referral triage
  • 📅 MRI and CSF tap scheduling
  • 🕐 24/7 seizure management support

Urgent Neurological Referral Triage

When a referring vet calls about a dachshund that suddenly lost the ability to walk, every minute counts. Puppilot triages neurological referrals by symptom severity — routing acute paralysis, seizure clusters, and rapid neurological decline for immediate neurologist review and same-day scheduling. Non-emergent cases like chronic seizure management and vestibular workups are scheduled at the next available appointment with complete intake documentation.

24/7 Seizure and Neurological Emergency Support

Seizure calls don't follow business hours. Owners call terrified at 2 AM during a seizure episode, after a cluster event, or when their dog's behavior suddenly changes. Puppilot answers every call around the clock with access to the patient's seizure history, current anticonvulsant medications, and known triggers. It provides specific guidance for active seizures, determines whether an emergency visit is needed, and escalates critical cases to your on-call neurologist with full context.

MRI, CSF, and Diagnostic Scheduling

Neurology workups often require MRI, CT, CSF collection, and electrodiagnostics — each with specific preparation requirements and scheduling constraints. Puppilot coordinates multi-step diagnostic sequences from your real-time calendar, delivers anesthesia fasting instructions, manages pre-MRI medication protocols, and confirms the full diagnostic plan with owners and referring veterinarians in a single call.

Post-Diagnostic rDVM Coordination and Follow-Up

After diagnostics, referring veterinarians need timely results and treatment plans to coordinate ongoing care. Puppilot sends automated updates to rDVMs at key milestones — MRI completion, diagnosis confirmation, treatment plan initiation, and medication adjustments. For patients on long-term anticonvulsant therapy, it handles medication refill requests and schedules therapeutic drug level monitoring — keeping the care loop tight without tying up your phones.

Tuesday 1:47 AM | Pet owner calling about a seizure episode
Client
My dog Oscar just had a seizure — he's shaking and his legs are stiff. It started about 3 minutes ago. What do I do?
Puppilot
I can see Oscar's records — he's a 4-year-old Boxer with a history of idiopathic epilepsy, currently on phenobarbital 60mg twice daily and potassium bromide. First, please stay calm and keep Oscar safe. Don't put anything in his mouth. Move any furniture or objects away from him that he could hit. If the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes total, head to the emergency clinic immediately. Can you tell me — is this the first seizure today, and how long has it been going on now?
AI accesses Oscar's seizure history and current medication protocol to provide specific guidance during an active event.
Client
It's slowing down now... his legs are relaxing. This is the second seizure tonight — the first one was about an hour ago. He seemed OK in between.
Puppilot
Two seizures within an hour is a cluster event, which is a concern with Oscar's history. I'm flagging this as urgent for Dr. Reeves. I strongly recommend you take Oscar to the emergency clinic now — they can administer medications to prevent additional seizures tonight. I'm sending the emergency clinic Oscar's full neuro history, medication list, and tonight's seizure details so they have everything they need when you arrive.
AI identifies the cluster seizure pattern, escalates to the neurologist, and coordinates emergency care with full patient context.
Client
OK, I'm heading there now. Should I give an extra dose of his phenobarbital?
Puppilot
Don't give any extra medication right now — the emergency team will determine what Oscar needs when they see him. They'll have his full medication history. Dr. Reeves will also receive a notification about tonight's episode and can follow up with you tomorrow about adjusting Oscar's seizure protocol. Drive safely, and the emergency clinic is ready for you.
AI correctly defers the medication decision to the veterinary team and ensures continuity of care between emergency and neurology.

Questions About Puppilot for Neurology Practices

How does Puppilot triage urgent neurological referrals?

Puppilot evaluates incoming referrals based on symptom severity and progression. Acute paralysis, seizure clusters, rapid neurological decline, and head trauma are flagged for immediate neurologist review and same-day scheduling. Chronic conditions like stable epilepsy, intermittent vestibular episodes, and follow-up MRI requests are scheduled at the next available appointment with complete intake documentation.

Can Puppilot handle seizure calls at night?

Yes. Puppilot answers seizure calls 24/7 with access to the patient's complete seizure history, current anticonvulsant medications, and known triggers. It provides specific guidance during active seizure events, identifies cluster patterns that require emergency intervention, and escalates critical cases to your on-call neurologist with full patient context.

Does Puppilot schedule MRI and advanced diagnostics?

Yes. Puppilot reads your diagnostic calendar in real time and schedules MRI, CT, CSF collection, and electrodiagnostic appointments. It coordinates multi-step workups, delivers preparation instructions including fasting requirements and medication hold protocols, and confirms the full diagnostic plan with owners and referring veterinarians.

How does Puppilot keep referring veterinarians updated?

Puppilot sends automated updates to referring veterinarians after key milestones — MRI results, diagnosis confirmation, treatment plan initiation, and follow-up recommendations. Updates are delivered via the rDVM's preferred method. Referring vets can also call in for an immediate status update on any patient they've referred.

Can Puppilot manage anticonvulsant medication questions?

Puppilot handles routine medication questions using the patient's current prescription details — including dosing schedules, refill timing, and common side effects. Dose adjustment decisions and breakthrough seizure protocol changes are always referred to your neurologist with full call context and seizure history attached.

Your neurologists should focus on diagnostics, not phone triage.
