what surgical proceedure was performed?, was it a neurologist, boarded surgeon, or other DVM? that cut it?

any other disease that this dog currently suffered from, what type of monitoring equipment was used during anesthesia

Was the cranial nerve exam normal, what were the results of the neuro exam. What did the dogs blood work look
