🌟 **Spotlight on Arthroscopy in Veterinary Care!** 🌟
Did you know that arthroscopy is considered the *gold standard* in surgeries like TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) for examining the inside of the knee joint in pets? 🐾✨ This minimally invasive procedure allows our surgeon to precisely diagnose and treat joint issues, particularly in knee surgeries like TPLO, which is performed to manage ACL/CCL injuries in dogs.
🔬 **Why is Arthroscopy Used in TPLO?**
Arthroscopy gives our vets a crystal-clear view inside the joint, helping ensure that any ligament damage is fully addressed. This precision leads to:
- **Improved accuracy** during surgery 🏥
- **Less tissue damage** compared to traditional methods 💙
- **Faster recovery** and quicker return to activity for your pets 🏃♂️
💡 **Benefits for Your Pets:**
- Reduced post-surgical pain 🐾
- Shorter recovery times ⏳
- More effective healing and mobility 🐕💨
At Ace Vet Hospital, we use arthroscopy to enhance the success of our TPLO surgeries, making sure your pets can get back to their playful, active selves as soon as possible! 🐶🐱
If you think your pet might benefit from TPLO or have any concerns about joint health, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

How’s this for a view!? A day in the life of Mako 🐶
What does day 2 post TPLO surgery look like for our patients? This is Gilbert walking on day 2 before heading home to his family.
All patients recover differently but our TPLO patients spend 2 nights in hospital, with pre-operative nerve block, IV pain relief and intensive physio to give them the best care before going home. We aim to have them walking well before going home.

Spot the fish hook!
🐟Oh no! Fish hooks! 🐟 - Part 2
How do we get the fish hook out?
1. First we take an xray to confirm the location of the fish hook.
2. We use endoscopy (a small camera) passed into the mouth through the oesophagus into the stomach and locate the hook
3. We retrieve it with a small pair of forceps attached to the camera.
Endoscopy is our preferred way because it is non-invasive (we dont have to open the dog up for surgery) and they recover much quicker. Most dogs go home on the same day. However, on rare occassions we may need to perform surgery.#emergencyendoscopy #acevet #referralvet #euroa #northeast #wherepetscomefirst #emergencyvet
