Canine Hip Dysplasia- Meet Porter!
This is Porter, a 20-week-old Retriever Mix who presented to the clinic for Bilateral Hip Dysplasia. When examined, Porter had moderate bilateral hind limb lameness at a walk and stance, and moderate bilateral hind limb muscle atrophy. Porter was also painful upon abduction of both hips. After a long discussion with the owners regarding the diagnosis and the impact on Porter long-term, the owners elected to pursue surgery via Double Pelvic Osteotomy (DPO). This procedure is most consistently successful when done before radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis (OA). Porter was also a good candidate because the hip laxity was not severe. These procedures are staged 3-4 weeks apart, and has roughly an 80% success rate. All dogs with hip dysplasia will develop secondary OA (osteoarthritis) in the future, but the current issues with Porter were mostly related to joint laxity. Please enjoy this video of Porter thriving following his right DPO. He will undergo surgery for his left side in the next month or so. 🐾

Surgical Case of the Week
Meet Louie. Louie is a 1 Yrs. 7 Mos. Intact Male, French Bulldog who presented to our hospital for Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. Louie’s owner comments that he had poor exercise tolerance, poor sleep, loud breathing, and inability to play or exercise for more than a minute at a time. Louie also occasionally regurgitated after eating a meal.
Due to Louie’s poor quality of life, the owner elected to proceed with airway surgery with Dr. Pinel. Due to the severity of Louie’s airways, and the complexity of the surgery, his recovery was touch and go. After 3 weeks, Louie is finally able to breathe, play, sleep normally, and his overall quality of life has improved significantly!
If you are worried about your brachycephalic pets’ breathing, its recommended to have them assessed by your veterinarian as early in life as possible. Please view the attached before and after video of Louie.
