中風
常見導致動物出現中風原因為缺血性中風及出血性中風。
缺血性中風例如: 血栓、腫瘤、血小板凝集、細菌或寄生蟲導致血管阻塞
出血性中風例如: 腦血管破裂或凝血障礙導致腦內出血
患有心臟病的動物中風的機率較高，由於心臟病容易造成血栓的形成，導致動物出現後腳癱瘓及僵硬的情況，嚴重甚至造成猝死。如發現有任何疑似中風的徵狀，獸醫一般會為動物驗血，X光，心臟超聲波等等檢查以先排除心臟問題。

Thromboembolism, is a condition when there is a blood clot that has become dislodged in the circulation, obstructing the blood flow.

Symptoms depend on the site of the affected area. The most common one in cats is Feline arterial thromboembolism (ATE). The cat usually shows severe pain, vocalization, pulselessness, and paralysis in the hind limbs.

Further diagnostic tests such as blood work, heart ultrasound, x rays may be needed.

It is important to see your local vets immediately if your pet is experiencing these conditions.

Note* The picture shows that the left hind paw of this cat is more pale than the right paw, due to an arterial thromboembolism.

圖中所示: 由於中風引致的血栓，血液無法正常流動，貓貓的左後腳掌呈蒼白色

雷射治療 Laser Therapy
雷射治療有促進傷口癒合、減輕發炎及治療疼痛的作用。進行治療時，動物不會感到疼痛，全個過程亦不需要麻醉或鎮靜，因此也會比較常見於動物治療的一部份。常見及適用於動物的病症包括: 傷口，肌肉或肌腱損傷，關節炎、椎間盤疾病等等。由於操作手法簡單，有時主人在家中也可以輕鬆為動物進利保健治療。

Laser therapy has become more and more common in veterinary medicine. It can be used to manage pain, aid in wound healing and joint healing, as well as muscle regeneration. For better results, laser treatments can also be used alongside other alternative therapies, such as acupuncture and physiotherapy.

角膜潰瘍在動物很常見，常見的原因包括: 外傷引致 (如擦傷，撞傷，抓傷)，異物入眼，感染，眼部疾病(如眼瞼內翻，乾眼症) 等等
一旦發生角膜潰瘍，動物會出現紅腫流淚，不斷抓眼睛，眼睛分泌物增多等情況。如不進行治療，情況惡化的話，會令眼角膜深層受損，形成角膜穿孔，導致失明，甚至需要摘除眼球。如你發現你的動物疑似有以上症狀，應盡快求醫，以免眼睛情況惡化。

A corneal ulcer is an erosion through the corneal surface. These lesions are usually superficial and affecting the surface layer. In more severe cases, deeper layers are affected, and may require surgical attention.

The most common cause for cornea ulceration is trauma. This usually happens when our pet rubs its eye, or gets into a fight with other animals.

To reduce the risk of infection and further damage to the eye. It is best to visit your local vets if your pet is experience discomfort regarding its eye.

氣胸
是指胸膜腔有空氣積聚，破壞了胸腔原本的負壓狀態及限制了肺的擴張。
氣胸會分為創傷性或自發性/繼發性。當中以創傷性為最常見，例如高處墜落，被車撞倒，被咬傷，穿刺傷等等。當氣胸發生時，動物會出現呼吸急促或困難，甚至缺氧而引致休克。
由於治療方案會根據發生氣胸的狀況而有所不同，因此，當你動物受到巨大的外力創傷時，應盡快帶往診所求醫，做詳細的檢查，以評估內在器官的受損程度，繼而提供合適的治療方案。

Pneumothorax is when there is an abnormal amount of free air in the chest cavity, outside the lungs but inside the chest wall. This can cause the lungs to not fully expand, and may even cause it to collapse, resulting in signs of respiratory distress that could lead to a life threatening condition. The most notable signs to look out for are breathing difficulty, lethargy, and/or bluish color on the gums.

The most common cause of pneumothorax is due to trauma or injury to the chest. Other causes can include but are not limited to lung disease or infection, neoplasia, or rupture of lung bullae.

If your pet is having abnormal breathing patterns, then it would be best to visit your local vets for a check up as soon as possible.

Ginkgo 獸醫診所團隊恭祝各位主人及毛孩們新年快樂，身體健康，大吉大利🧧🪭🍊❤️‍🔥

The team at Ginkgo Veterinary Hospital wishes every pet and their families boundless happiness, vigorous health, and a very Happy Chinese New Year!

新年又到了，相信好多寵物主人都會為家居增添喜慶，不過要注意，好多植物對貓狗來說都是有害的，輕則肚瀉嘔吐，重則引起中毒反應，甚至出現神經症狀。我們列出了常見對寵物有害的年花種類，當中包括:百合、鬱金香、孤挺花、繡球花、富貴竹、水仙、菊花、風信子、杜鵑花、海棠、天堂鳥等等。
不過由於植物種類繁多未能一一列出，主人們在挑選年花時，都要仔細留意植物的種類。
所有植物都機會令到動物有不同程度的反應或感到不適，如果懷疑動物誤食或接觸有毒植物，應盡快前往診所，接受適當的治療。

The year of the dragon is approaching! Many pet owners would usually buy different flowers to celebrate the Chinese New Year! However, some of these flowers and plants we buy are harmful to our beloved pets. These plants include lilies, tulips, amaryllis, hydrangea, lucky bamboo, narcissus, chrysanthemum, hyacinth, azalea, HaiTang, Bird of Paradise Flower etc.

These house plants may cause signs of illnesses such as vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, central nervous system and coordination problems, kidney damage and seizures.

So please remember and do take care to be mindful of the flowers we buy, so that we as well as our beloved pets can have a trouble-free and worry-free start to the New Year!

髋關節脫位
通常是因為外力創傷而導致，也有少部份是因為退化嚴重或髋關節發育不良而後續發生。當髋關節脫位發生時，股骨頭部份會脫離關節窩的位置，也有機會造成附近韌帶及周邊肌肉組織損傷。動物會開始出現跛行，疼痛，無法行走的情況。獸醫一般會根據X光影像診斷以確定髋關節脫位情況，採取保守治療或手術治療。

如上面圖片例子，保守治療一般在麻醉情況下，獸醫會將骨頭推回去，令關節復位，然後進行包紮固定。

如你懷疑動物出現以上徵狀，應盡快求醫，配合檢查以採取最適合的治療方案。

When your pet has a dislocated hip, also known as a coxofemoral luxation, this means the ball part of the hip joint comes out of the socket. This dislocation will disrupt and damage the joint capsule, and may cause damage to the ligaments, muscles and bones of the hip.

A hip dislocation is most commonly caused by trauma, such as falling from height, or being hit by a car. Other causes include degenerative joint disease or hip dysplasia, which may increases the risk.

In these cases, the animal will need X-rays to confirm the luxation. For example, we were able to replace the dislocation through anesthesia for the patient in the picture above. Additionally, bandaging the patient’s injury ensured it healed well and had a good recovery.

If you do see your pet limping, showing signs of discomfort or is sore to the touch on its hind legs, then it would be better to visit your local vets and have diagnostic images done if needed.

動物骨折主要是由於創傷造成，如道路交通事故或高處墜落，
較少型的動物可以因為跑跳或從沙發跳下的少型意外而骨折跛行或不願走勳是最常見的症狀。在某些情況下，獸醫會建議用包紮以嘗試令骨骼自然癒合，但有可能會令骨骼變形或癒合不成功，
所以在某些情況下獸醫可能會建議進行骨科手術，
利用骨板以固定骨折的位置。

Fracture occurs when a bone splits into two pieces or more due to injury. There are many types of fractures, depending on the cause and type of force involved.

Fractures can occur due to sports and play injuries, falls, car accidents, traumatic wounds such as dog fights, and underlying disease processes that weaken bones.

Some fractures can be splinted and bandaged, where as, more complicated fractures require surgery repair. If your pet is experience pain and non weight bearing in any of its limbs, it is advised to visit your local vets as soon as possible.

腸套疊(Intussusception)是指一節腸段伸縮或內陷到另一節腸段中。一般成因是由於腸道中的蠕動出現變化而引起的，而腸道蠕動出現變化可能是由其他引起發炎的情況引起的，例如感染、腫瘤或異物等，雖然腸套疊可以發生在腸道內的任何位置，但最常見於空腸或迴盲腸交界處。腸套疊的病徵如厭食、精神變差、嘔吐、肚口瀉或黑色糞便、腹部疼痛等，如動物出現以上症狀，請盡快帶到獸醫診所進行診斷及治療，寵物好大機會需要進行緊急手術以矯正腸套疊及術後留院以作觀察。
Intussusception occurs when one segment of the intestine folds into another segment. This portion of gastrointestinal tract gets trapped inside the linen of the adjoining GI tract. This can lead to a partial or complete mechanical obstruction and can compromise the blood flow to the trapped portion of GI tissue.

Clinical signs depends on the area where the intussusception takes place. These include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, blood in f***s, abdominal mass.

Intussusception is considered a surgical emergency. In addition to being very painful, intussusception can be fatal without treatment. Therefore, if your pet is experiencing on going diarrhoea, it is best to pay a visit to your vets.

胰臟是一個負責製造控制血糖的荷爾蒙，也就是胰島素和升糖素，同時也會分泌消化酵素，協助分解脂肪、蛋白質和碳水化合物，也因為負責的功能範圍廣泛，使得胰臟出現問題時，容易引伸至其他疾病的出現。
胰臟炎有分為急性胰臟炎與慢性胰臟炎。急性胰臟炎通常為短期內迅速發生，出現消化道症狀。慢性胰臟炎則為反覆復發的症狀。
狗狗胰臟炎發生常見原因為高油脂飲食，基因遺傳(某些特定品種的狗狗好發此疾病)，與內分泌疾病，而貓貓胰臟炎的確切原因目前還不清楚
基本診斷胰臟炎方法為驗血或腹部超聲波檢查。一般患有胰臟炎的動物，會出現精神不佳、食慾下降、嘔吐、腹痛 (肚子痛呈祈禱式)，腹瀉，甚至吐血、血便。嚴重時更會出現發燒、黃疸、腹水等症狀，亦會引起其他併發症而導致死亡。
由於有時候胰臟炎的症狀並不明顯，容易被誤判成一般腸胃炎而忽略了嚴重性，因此建議主人們將胰臟列入全身健康檢查的項目中，日常生活多加注意貓狗的飲食，那就可以大大減低患有胰臟炎的機會啦~
Pancreas is situated on the right side of the abdomen, and it produces enzymes to assist in food digestion and hormones.

Pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition that is common in dogs and cats. It can be acute or chronic and subclinical. When your pet has pancreatitis, it may show signs including nausea, vomiting, fever, lethargy, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and decreased appetite.

The prognosis depends on the severity of the disease. If your animal shows abnormal symptoms and is not doing well. Pancreatitis can be fatal, please visit your local vets for laboratory testing and imaging.

大家估唔估到呢條郁下郁下嘅係咩蟲呢❓ 1 . 梨形蟲 (Giardia) 2. 心絲蟲 (Heartworm) 3. 鞭蟲 (Whipworm) 開估啦🎉佢就係大家成日聽到嘅心絲蟲喇🐛 聽就聽得多係咪好少見到佢真身呢🫣 心絲蟲(Dirofilaria Immitis)係一種寄生係狗既線狀寄生蟲，一般經蚊傳染，蚊吸食左被心絲蟲感染嘅狗隻血液後，就會吸入幼絲蚊(Microfilariae) ，幼絲蟲會係蚊嘅身體內成長為感染性幼蟲(Infected Larvae)，經由蚊子傳播俾下一隻狗隻。幼蟲會係狗仔身體成長為成蟲，並經由血液游走到身體唔同地方及器官，影響其功能，嚴重時會有生命危險或死亡。不過～預防勝於治療👍🏻 其實只要主人幫毛孩定期做返心絲蟲預防，就可以大大減低感染嘅機會。一般狗隻係六星期大就可以開始做心絲蟲預防，一般預防方式有口服、滴頸或者針劑。如果狗隻六個月大以上或沒有定期做預防，需要做心絲蟲測試先可以開始返做預防嫁😺. Do you want to make a guess on what disease this pet has? 1 Giardia 2 Heartworm 3 Whipworm This is actually called microfilaria, an early stage in life cycle of a heatworm. The microfilariae are taken up by an intermediate hosts, usually a blood-feeding arthropod vectors eg. A mosquito. In the intermediate host, the microfilariae develop into infective larvae that can be transmitted to your dog. Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease. The heartworm lives in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected dog, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. It is important to start heartworm prevention at 2 months of age. There are many ways of prevention eg. Oral tabs, spot on and injections. If your dog is over 6 months, not up to date with preventions, or has been missing doses, then a blood test is needed before starting back on preventions. #hkvet #hkvetclinic
