popping puppy

Hi! Thank you for your help and opinion on a 4 month old female Aussie puppy. She is a live wire! The family is a bit cautious and concerned as their previous 2 Aussies have had shoulder issues (MSI, one with a grade 3 tear of the bicipital tendon). The family is currently doing foundation work with...

young dog with suspected polyarthropathy

I was hoping to get an opinion on a dog that I have yet to examine. Buck is a 13 month old Shep X who has been "lame" since the fall of 2020. He is reportedly a bit worse at this time. Colleagues have tried to examine him and he is hesitant at best. He can be aggressive and is very tense when touche...

There was no improvement with the Rx. She was radiographed by a colleague after the lack of response to the NSAID. She will start to...

more on wellness exams

Hi! I hope that this is not one of those silly questions, but I would like to take a chance and ask/discuss anyways. There is no debate about the value of routine hands on wellness evaluations. Do you feel that there is any merit to screening the shoulders on agility dogs with soft tissue ultrasound...

Re: popping while walking

Once again, thank you. I did not perceive any hip laxity or "clunking" (although he is a very nervous dog in the clinic) and pelvic rads were done by the rDVM, who examined him while sedated (I can put some trust there). I'll let you know how it goes. I will ask them for another look this week. Have...

Re: popping while walking

Thanks again! Just for curiosity's sake, here is a Youtube link to the dog walking. You have to listen above the noise of his long toe nails.

Re: popping while walking

Thank you so much for your help. I was not able to upload the video from the email(and others that are more computer savy tried as well). Sorry. If it is possible to email the video to another address, that would be an option. I would just need to know where to forward it to. You would see that ther...

popping while walking

I am hoping that you can help me with the following case. Woodley is a 6 year old Shepherd X with an acute onset lameness 2 weeks ago. The family suspects Woodley had a traumatic encounter with a bed mattress and frame. He was in the bedroom and vocalized and was found hiding in the closet. Woodley ...
