🐾 Is Your Dog Limping or Slowing Down? It Could Be Cruciate Disease. 🐶

Canine Cruciate Ligament Disease (CCLD) is one of the most common orthopedic issues in dogs. Similar to an ACL injury in humans, it can cause chronic lameness, pain, and severe arthritis if left untreated. In dogs, the ligament is always under tension when weight bearing

💥 Signs to watch for:

Sudden or ongoing limping in a hind leg

Difficulty rising or jumping

Swelling around the knee joint

There are numerous ways to approach this disease process/ injury and it is not a one size fits all model and every case should be thoroughly discussed with your veterinarian. At Thomasville Animal Hospital, we do offer a procedure called a TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) — a highly effective surgical treatment for cruciate injuries. TPLO surgery helps restore your dog’s mobility, reduce pain due to instability, and get them back to their playful self by adjusting the tibial plateau angle (TPA) to make it a plane instead of a down hill slope as you can see in the picture. A plate is applied after the correct angle is achieved for proper bone healing. The joint is then able to function normally without the instability. Unfortunately for this patient arthritis was present prior to and worse by the time surgery was performed but the TPLO will help limit further changes to the joint. This patient is running and doing what he loves now.

During the dog days of summer, there are two common disease processes that can cause abnormal respiration in horses. One is anhidrosis or the inability to sweat properly. This can come on very quickly and causes the horse to have very rapid, shallow respirations similar to a dog panting, but with the mouth closed. This is shown in the first horse in the video below.

Another very common condition that usually has a summer time onset is equine asthma, commonly called heaves. Symptoms usually develop over days to weeks and are often associated with a cough. This is a very serious disease that can lead to death if not treated. Heaves causes an increase in respiratory rate AND EFFORT, most often with a significant expiratory push that can be seen as a heave line along the abdominal wall just behind and below rib cage. This often appears as a “double pump” respiratory effort. This is shown in the second and third horse in the video. The second has moderate heaves and the third severe.

To complicate matters more, some horses with heaves don’t sweat normally. It is important to try to differentiate whether the changes in respiration are due to asthma or anhidrosis. It can be helpful to assess the respiratory rate and effort during cooler parts of the day and/or to hose the horse off for 30 minutes to see if that causes breathing to improve.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for either of these conditions, except moving north or west. We can help you manage them to keep your horse as comfortable as possible during this period of time. Please call your veterinarian if you notice any changes with your horses, respiration rate and/or effort!!

******TAH WELCOMES A NEW VETERINARIAN*******

Thomasville Animal Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Merrianna Parker as its newest associate veterinarian, serving Thomasville and the surrounding areas. Dr. Parker, originally from Bainbridge, Georgia, has nurtured a passion for animal care since childhood. She pursued her academic goals at the University of Georgia in Athens, earning both a Bachelor of Animal Science and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Beginning her hands-on experience at age sixteen, Dr. Parker worked in both small and mixed animal clinical settings. Her love for animals extended beyond the clinic; she enjoyed riding her mares, Lady and Remarquable, with a particular interest in Eventing. Now retired, her mares continue to accompany her on family trail rides. Reflecting on her new role, Dr. Parker shares, “I am excited to embark on this journey and remain dedicated to fostering strong relationships with my clients by practicing high- quality medicine, maintaining excellent communication, and showing compassion for each patient.”

Dr. Parker will commence her tenure at Thomasville Animal Hospital on August 18,joining a team of seven experienced veterinarians: Dr. Amy Bostick, Dr. Bailey Feinberg, Dr. Jessie Stanley, and owners Dr. Todd Cooley, Dr. Jodi D’Amico, Dr. Ward Mills, and Dr. Erin Chastain.

“We are privileged to welcome Dr. Parker, whose expertise spans both small animal and equine veterinary medicine,” said Dr. Cooley. “Her approach aligns well with our team culture, and we are confident she will be an asset to both our practice and the broader
community.” As a practice committed to the highest standards of veterinary medicine, Thomasville Animal Hospital provides friendly, compassionate service. Our offerings include wellness and vaccination programs, diagnostic and medical treatment, surgical
procedures (including spay and neuter), reproductive services, and dental care for both small animals and horses.

Dr. Bailey Feinberg treated the horse below for squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) on his eyelid. She initially tried oral piroxicam and topical mitomycin-C ointment with minimal success. Dr. Bailey then worked with the owners to complete a regimen of 5-FU infusions (a type of chemo) into the lesion every 2 weeks for 4 total infusions. This treatment led to resolution!!

He is currently doing great and wearing a fly mask to prevent a relapse 😍🥳🙏🤞

Let’s talk FIP - FIP stands for Feline Infectious Peritonitis and has been affecting cats since the early 1960s. Despite how long it has been around, it has remained especially hard to diagnose. It is associated with feline coronavirus that infects many cats throughout their lifetime. Up to 90% of cats remain healthy or only mildly affected by feline coronavirus, but 5-10% experience a mutation of the virus, which causes FIP. FIP typically affects young cats (
