Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) disease is the #1 orthopedic injury in dogs, and is one of the most common causes of hind limb lameness, causing discomfort and decreasing mobility.

⚠️ 40-60% of dogs that have a CCL injury in 1 knee will develop a similar problem in the other knee. Poor physical condition and excessive body weight can also increase the likelihood of an injury.

🦴Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) is a common surgical procedure used to repair the injury and requires cutting, repositioning, and reattaching the top part of the tibia bone.

🔊Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can be used post surgically or as part of a rehab program to speed the healing process, improve the quality of the healed joint, and reduce post-operative pain following TPLO.

🔬Check out the published research from CSU's Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and LSU's Veterinary Teaching Hospital, proving our efficacy. Link in Bio!

⚙️ It takes a village to help overweight and obese pets and there are many moving parts.

📌 The best way to combat obesity in pets is prevention and education. Nutrition and pain evaluations should be addressed at each veterinary visit to help prevent pets gaining weight over time.

📌 Obesity is an inflammatory disease and fat cells have unlimited growth potential. The extra weight on joints causes arthritis development and reduces the lifespan of animals.

Dog Named Stella

🍁 🍂 🐾 🐾 Lets start this week with some excitement!

Fall approaches. Stella waits.

❓How often are you evaluating pain in animals?

👉🏻 Every time a pet goes for a checkup they should be assessed for pain and as professionals we can make a difference in the quality of pets’ lives and how they interact with their pet parents! 🐾 🐾 💞

The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (@ivapm_vet) has proclaimed September as Animal Pain Awareness Month, which coincides with human medicine’s Pain Awareness Month. ‘Animals suffer from pain just like people do. Pain comes in many forms: surgical pain, arthritis and cancer related pain, just to name a few.  Acute pain is obvious and distressing. Chronic pain can be subtle, and masked as “getting old” or “slowing down.”  Old age is not a disease, but pain is. There are many options to treat the various causes of pain in animals including pain medications, physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, and therapeutic massage.’ Visit ivapm.org for graphics, posters, and additional ways to engage your clinics during this awareness month!🐱🐶🐰🐴🐾👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Lots of people often have trouble visualizing what their overweight animals should look like at a pet weight. Veterinarians will give various descriptions to owners, such as how there should be a tuck in the waist visible from both the top down and from the side profile for many breeds. Here are some outlined photos of overweight dogs to show what a rough acceptable weight would look like on them. Every breed is unique and will have different attributes for their build and body style depending on their lineage.
