A successfull case of vertebrectomy and vertebral body replacement as a radical treatment for feline vertebral osteosarcoma
The proposed surgical technique was safe and effective in dogs with partially or completely reducible spinal cord compression
The technique can be considered if the fracture is not severely comminuted, and if at least the canine and first molar tooth can be used for anchorage
This combination of techniques facilitated the evaluation and surgical planning of a complex limb deformity
Meloxicam OTMS had similar effects on peak vertical force, motor activity and pain sensitization as previously reported for oral meloxicam in OA cats
The 2.0 mm cancellous screws advantageous in bone with thin cortices and the 2.0 mm cortical screws with cortices measuring at least 1 mm in thickness
Successful outcome in all 6 limbs, but the technique can be challenging and does not always lead to optimal alignment
In mechanically ventilated, healthy, isoflurane-anesthetized dogs, PPV predicted fluid responsiveness to volume expansion
Although more common in small breed dogs, it also was diagnosed in a significant number of large breed dogs
