Evaluation of changes in vertical ground reaction forces as indicators of meniscal damage after transection of the cranial cruciate ligament in dogs
In dogs with transected or ruptured CrCLs, force plate analysis can detect acute exacerbation of lameness, which may be the result of secondary meniscal damage, and provide an objective noninvasive technique that delineates the temporal pattern of medial meniscal injury.
Clinical Management of Mast Cell Tumors in Dogs
Mast cell tumors have a variable appearance that may include intermittent shrinking and swelling of the tumor, peritumoral erythema, edema, and bruising related to the presence of histamine and heparin within mast cell granules.
Duration of effect and effect of multiple doses of topical ophthalmic 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride in clinically normal dogs
Duration of corneal anesthetic effect induced by topical ophthalmic application of 0.5% proparacaine in dogs of this study is considerably longer than that reported elsewhere. Serial application of doses of 0.5% proparacaine increases the duration and magnitude of corneal anesthetic effects.
Hedgehog zoonoses
Ownership of exotic pets may lead to increased exposure to various infectious agents, including exotic ones. The risk for exposure to zoonotic agents is substantially increased for people rescuing sick hedgehogs or rehabilitating them. Preventing illness depends on good hygiene and increased awareness, especially when young, elderly, or immunocompromised persons are involved.
Veterinarians And Work-Related Injuries
In school, I was in stall with this not so nice mare and her foal. The mare and I had developed kind of an understanding with one another and she was pretty good with me. The foal was a real brat. Giving him fluids and injections was a real challenge, so we usually worked on him while he was napping or nursing. I snuck in while he was napping and had just finished with his treatments when he jumped up and clocked me a good one on the chin with the back of his head. Knocked me cold. I woke up to very concerned voices outside of the stall saying things like, "Well, how the hell are we going to get her out without being trampled by the mare?" I opened my eyes to see the mare standing over me, ear laid back and snapping at anyone who tried to approach. She alternated this with nuzzling my face and licking me ...
Client Chose To Euthanize: What Did I Do Wrong?
You didn't give the cat liver disease. You couldn't wave a wand and fix the liver disease instantly for $25. That's the way it is. You told the owner his cat was really sick, and the owner wasn't into it. Euthanizing was not a bad thing to do. You probably spared that cat a week or more of hiding in the basement and feeling like hell before it died on its own.
Dog With Bladder TCC Has Done Well Without Treatment: Metastasis Risk? Value Of Debulking? Stents And Transurethral Resection Can Help With Obstruction
We have seen a number of otherwise "healthy" dogs with urinary obstructions from TCC or prostatic tumors. We have placed metallic stents in these dgos to relieve the obstructions as a palliative procedure. I presented 6 cases at ACVS this past year. The stents are placed transurethrally just like a tracheal stent. It is non-invasive, rapid, and easy. We have had animals live up to 3.5 months following the procedure, until they succumb to systemic disease. We do not place them unless the animal is sufficiently stranguric or obstructed ...
With Health Insurance Going Up, We Can't Afford To Pay 100% Of Staff Premiums
I don't know of an easy, painless, low-stress manner of moving employees from 100% coverage to partial coverage, but I can envision some pain as you continue what you are doing as insurance rates continue to go up.
