Dental prophylaxis in dogs and cats has several important benefits for their overall health and well-being:

1. Prevents Periodontal Disease

Regular cleaning help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, pain, and infections that may spread to other organs.

2. Improves Overall Health

Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Preventing dental infections reduces the risk of systemic health issues.

3. Reduces Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Tartar and bacteria buildup cause foul-smelling breath, which can be resolved with professional cleanings.

4. Prevents Tooth Loss and Pain

Untreated dental disease can lead to loose or abscessed teeth, causing discomfort and difficulty in eating.

5. Enhances Quality of Life

Dogs with healthy teeth experience less pain and can chew properly, improving their ability to eat and play.

6. Allows Early Detection of Dental Problems

Regular exams help veterinarians identify issues like broken teeth, oral tumors, or infections before they become severe.

7. Saves on Future Veterinary Costs
Preventative dental care is often less expensive than treating advanced dental disease or complications like extractions and infections.

Minggoy, a SDH, around 5-month old kitten was presented yesterday with a symphyseal fracture of the distal right femur (Salter-harris type II fracture). The major proximal segment was displaced cranially and internally rotated based on the radiographic examination. There’s an open penetrating wound around 1cm in diameter at medial aspect at he level of the stiple.

A simple cross pins method were used to fix the separated distal metaphysis to the major segment.

Wishing Minggoy a faster recovery assuming the young bone is fast healing machine in cats.

This was Gagay, a mix shihtzu prior to her discharge. She’s recovering fast after her traumatic mandibular fracture fixed with acrylic and percutaneous pins.

Gagay was also treated from tick infestation and she’s continuing her medications for erhlichiosis, a tick-borne disease common in dogs.

My absence in the clinic as surgeon didn’t bother me at all today. Doc Trisha Mae Bonagua and doc Mary Almendo did the good job, saving two puppies and their mother in an emergency caesarian operation.

Rufa, an adorable, 5-year old, Chihuahua, delivered two healthy pups via Caesarian section. One of the pup was stucked in the pelvic canal causing straining and too much discomfort to Rufa. Thankfully, Doc Trish, doc Mary and the team were in the rescue and without doubt they take the fine incision into the uterus to save the puppies.

Successful close reduction of a dislocated shoulder due to unknown trauma in a dog. The patient was presented active and playful, but limping with his left foreleg. Radiographs showed complete luxation of left shoulder and medially displaced humeral head. Close reduction was made possible under anesthesia and pain medications. We're hoping there's no further injury on joint ligaments and sorrounding soft tisssue which may necessitates further assessment and intervention.

Update of Gagay, a sweet, 3-year old, Shih tzu mixed, 7 days post op today. Gagay was presented a week ago due to traumatic fracture of her rostral mandible. One of her canine (304) was extracted after dental cleaning. An acrylic Pin External Fixation (APEF) was selected for the fixation method. We wish Gagay continued and faster recovery.

Pre operative planning is crucial for a successful long bone fracture fixation. A nicely taken radiographs should include two joints (proximal and distal joints). Additionally, one need to understand that plain radiograph has limitations as it's just a flat image or 2D image. Therefore, patient postioning is important. In this patient we took a similar radiographs of the contralateral tibia for measurement and planning. Don't forget! you need two views or orthogonal views.
