Tooth Fracture
Tooth fractures refer to tooth injuries involving damage to the enamel, dentin and cement. The tooth fracture may involve the enamel, root or crown of the tooth.
Splenic Torsion
The spleen exists as a main support to the immune system, as a filter to destroy excess red blood cells, and as a reservoir for blood. Splenic torsion, or twisting of the spleen, may occur by itself, or in association with gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) syndrome, when a dog’s air-filled stomach expands and twists on itself.
Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome
Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome is the medical term related to various upper airway problems found in short-nosed, flat-faced cats and dog breeds, such as Himalayans and Pekingese, respectively.
Urolithiasis (Cystine)
Urolithiasis is a medical term referring to the presence of crystals or stones in the urinary tract. When the stones are made up of cystine – a normal compound found in the body – they are called cystine stones.
Urethral prolapse is a condition where the urethra’s mucosal lining (the mucus producing lining of the canal that carries urine out of the bladder) falls out of place, often moving to the outer portion of the urethra, vaginal, or penile opening - making it visible.
Urinary Tract Obstruction in Cats and Dogs
Urinary obstruction occurs mostly in male cats, but dogs and female cats may also be affected. It is a medical emergency and owners will most commonly see their animal straining to urinate, producing little or no urine each time. The obstruction occurs in the urethra, the tube that leads out of the body from the bladder. The urinary tract may be obstructed by something inside the urethra, from something compressing on the urethra or inflammation of the urethra. Treatment is available and the prognosis of this issue will depend on the severity of the obstruction.
