Dr. Schulman recently spoke with NBC Los Angeles and cautions that people using doggy day care centers or dog parks should get their dogs vaccinated against leptospirosis as soon as possible. Antibiotics can also be effective for treatment. If you believe your dog may have a bacterial infection, please call and schedule an exam. The Animal Medical Center is always prepared to offer you the highest level of care for your pets.

Leptospirosis, a bacterial infection that can cause kidney failure, is becoming an epidemic for dogs on the west side of LA County.

"To the Animal Medical Center Team, After two phenomenal TPLO surgeries on both of Henry's hind legs, Dr. Schulman has successfully created my first Bionic Dog! Check out the attached video of Henry running up a tree! Thank you Dr. Schulman and the entire staff at The Animal Medical Center for your expertise, hard work and fantastic care! Henry and I are so happy and proud to have you in our lives 😊. Sincerely, Jennifer and Henry"

Fibrotic myopathy of the semitendinosis, semimembranous and/or gracilis muscles is an infrequent yet not that uncommon lameness of the rear limb with a characteristic stilted gait that is easy to recognise. The leg is advanced but appears to be abruptly pulled back because of restriction of a full range of motion by the affected contracted and degenerative muscles as they cross the knee joint. In addition, the ankle characteristically slides outward and the knee rotates inward. The syndrome is caused by repetitive trauma to these muscles and is most commonly observed in German Shepherds and Shepherd mixes. Notice how the dogs walk in these videos; in both it is their right hindlimb that is affected to varying degrees. These dogs have had this syndrome for over a year due to the inability to be properly diagnosed. With surgery to release and remove the damaged muscle and tendons, the dogs immediately return to normal function. There is always a chance of recurrence or involvement of the opposite limb, but without surgery there is no chance of recovery. Notice how well the Shepherd walks immediately after surgery; while he is sore (this video was taken one hour after surgery), there is full advancement of the limb and no outward rotation of the ankle.

Newborn Puppies!

Yeeeeeaaaaa. Five happy, healthy puppies that aren't being squished in a uterus. Mom did need a c-section after all but everyone is recovering just fine.

The Animal Medical Center is owned by Dr. Alan Schulman. Dr. Schulman has been practicing veterinary medicine in Los Angeles since 1983 and is a Board Certified Surgeon. As a Diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), Dr. Schulman has consistently maintained and practiced at the highest level of surgical expertise employing the latest technology for all types of surgery. To become a board-certified specialist, a doctor of veterinary medicine must successfully complete an approved internship program (which is at least an additional 1-year commitment after having completed four years in veterinary school), complete a residency program, which is typically at least three years (with intensive study in the field of veterinary surgery), pass a rigorous examination process (written, oral and practical examination), and be certified for membership in the appropriate veterinary specialty college.
