Where Passion Drives Our Practice

Minnesota Veterinary Neurology is redefining what excellence means for the neurologic patient

MVN HOSPITAL DOORS OPENING 2025

CONSULTATIONS WITH DR. CARPENTIER CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AT LOCAL VETERINARY HOSPITALS! Minnesota Veterinary Neurology has been established to provide easy access to superior care for the small animal neurologic patients in Minnesota and th

e surrounding area. MVN will be the first and only neurology specific specialty hospital in Minnesota. Background:
Dr. Carpentier graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. Following veterinary school, she completed a rotating internship in Connecticut at VCA Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center. She then completed a one-year post doctoral fellowship in the Comparative Neurology Program at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Carpentier stayed in Missouri to pursue a three-year neurology/neurosurgery residency that was jointly performed at The University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Specialty Services in St. At the completion of her residency, Dr. Carpentier received the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Resident Research Award for her work on 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Dog Spine in Hansen Type I Intervertebral Disk Disease. Dr. Carpentier has been practicing in the Twin Cities for 7 years. She enjoys all aspects of neurology, from the medical side of managing an epileptic patient to improving and maximize their quality of life, to the surgical side assisting a patient to be able to walk again and live a pain free life. Dr. Carpentier also brings the experience from the pet owners side, having to manage her own dogs with epilepsy, atlantoaxial luxation, and intervertebral disk disease (yes she takes her work home with her even when she tries not to!). Dr. Carpentier enjoys educating fellow veterinarians through her work as a neurology consultant for VETGirl and speaking across the country providing continuing education opportunities for the veterinary community.

Fast Fact of the Day:

The Modified Glascow Coma Score (MGCS): When a patient presents with head trauma, part of our initial neurologic evaluation is performing a MGCS. A MGCS allows us to correlate a grade to their neurologic status based on 3 categories: Level of Consciousness, Motor Activity, and Brainstem Reflexes. We will perform serial MGCS to monitor a patient's recovery. The higher the score, the better the overall prognosis.

Pictured below is a CT 3D-Reconstruction showing a skull fracture of a puppy that unfortunately was bit on the head by another dog. This puppy did wonderful and is the perfect example of a patient that had serial Modified Glascow Coma Scores as we monitored his recovery in the hospital.

We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to Midwest Veterinary Dental Services in Milwaukee. Dr. Carpentier had to bring one of her OTTB mares to see Dr. Henry and she cannot praise their team enough. Aspen was there for two weeks and received exceptional care. Here she is heading home 💗

One of MVN's core goals is to bring a great client service experience to our owners. We are going to make specialty veterinary medicine less overwhelming and intimidating to our owners, because let's face it you are already under enough stress worrying about your 4 legged family member. This starts as soon as you make a call to set up an appointment and then when you walk through the door. We have been busy interviewing candidates this week for the Client Experience Representatives positions and we have found some amazing people that we know are going to allow us to accomplish this goal. Introductions will be coming:)

There is nothing more touching than knowing that you helped the life of your patient and their family, especially in their senior years❤️ And knowing that these owners sought out Dr. Carpentier to give their thanks, we won't even try and hide the tears. This is why we do what we do.

"I am hoping I am reaching out to the right resource. Dr. Carpentier was amazing for us and our dog **...Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to ** a couple of months ago, but we got to have a lot more positive memories with her within that year due to Dr. Carpentier’s professional wisdom and treatment. We just wanted to let her know that. We are so grateful!

We offered 2 free consults and a MRI for a Coco's Heart Dog Rescue dog or cat if someone was able to help out Coco's Heart with a $5000 cash donation. And just like that, this amazing community delivered! Here is the amazing moment from the Hoedown💓

We hope everyone enjoys this weather as much as the dogs!

Ever see a blind dog playing fetch? Get ready for a feel good video of sweet Harbor using her sense of smell to play fetch! Harbor was born with congenital glaucoma and Dr. Carpentier took her in when she was only 6 weeks old. Harbor needed to have her eyes removed as a puppy due to the severity of her condition and the pain they were causing her. Just because she was blind didn't stop her from having an amazing life and experiencing great adventures in St. Kitts, Connecticut, Missouri and Minnesota! ❤️

We hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather outside with your pets! Don't forget to have your pets preventatives on board and then give them a nice comfy bed to relax on!
