Because the genes of toy dogs are very unstable, many genetic diseases are potential dangers. Patella valgus is the most common genetic disease of toy VIPs, also known as habitual dislocation. This disease is completely hereditary, and there is no early warning and prevention. Some dogs get sick as early as 4~5 months, and the symptoms are weakness of one or both hind legs. First, time is short, grow slowly! In the end, I had no strength at all, so I had to walk on two front legs. This phenomenon is caused by the slow development of patella, ligament strain and superficial patella. If I had discovered this disease earlier, I would have a three-fifths chance of recovery from surgery in the hospital, but I would never have children again, and it would be passed on to the next generation! This is my friend's red toy VIP's illness. I asked the doctor that this disease is usually caused by genetic instability and dysplasia. The incidence of toy VIP is the highest. When I was a child, I had to have at least three operations until I was stunted. Adults have to do ligament repair surgery, which is very expensive. You can buy another best one! ! ! Therefore, when you choose a toy VIP, you must see if your parents have a family inheritance and make an agreement. If this genetic disease occurs, the seller must be responsible for refund or full medical expenses! ! ! !
A one-year-old white Pomeranian dog came to the hospital complaining of motor dysfunction. He often lifts his hind feet and limps along. During palpation, he found that the right kneecap was completely detached from the knee joint and could not be pushed back by external force, while the left kneecap could be detached and reset by external force. After X-ray photography, it was found that the right kneecap fell off with tibial torsion, which was judged as habitual dislocation of knee joint of grade 4. However, no tibial torsion was found in the left knee joint, which was judged as habitual dislocation of knee joint of grade 2. After necessary pre-anesthesia examination and detailed explanation of the operation method with the animal owner, the reconstruction and plastic surgery of the left and right knee joints were completed by one-time anesthesia.
The left and right knee joints operate in different ways. The left knee joint has no serious deformation and complications, so' Shore Knee Arthroplasty' is adopted, and the' Shore Knee Knee Protrusion Device' (a small piece of stainless steel plate) is nailed into the medial side-slip ridge to prevent the kneecap from protruding to the medial side. After the right knee joint was cut, the C-shaped bone in the trochlear groove was chiseled into a deeper trochlear groove. Then chisel away the tibial crest attached to the tibia with straight bone, so that the kneecap can move smoothly in the trochlear groove again. After the operation, take necessary postoperative care to prevent wound infection, then the patient is discharged from the hospital and continue to follow up the prognosis.
Chondromalacia patellae is a common breed and structural disease in small dogs, such as Bomei, Weipu, Yorkshire, Chihuahua and Marzis. Due to the shallow structure of the trochlear groove of the knee joint, ligament injury caused by sports injury will aggravate the seriousness of this problem. Clinically, habitual dislocation of patella is divided into four grades according to the severity and whether it is complicated with tibial torsion. Surgical methods can also be divided into two types. The purpose of surgical joint reduction is to increase the depth of trochlear groove and prevent patellar prolapse. Generally speaking, early detection of surgical joint reduction can effectively prevent the deterioration and complications of tibial torsion.
To prevent knee joint problems, we should pay attention to the occurrence of sports injuries. For example, when a dog walks in a straight line, it should avoid changing direction due to sudden pulling of the leash (because sudden pulling of the inner foot will produce great stress) and avoid standing with two hind legs in a standing posture.
As luck would have it, what I asked was that people in Taiwan Province Province should have money. For breeders, it is usually euthanasia, because it has no value in the eyes of breeders, and the cost of surgery is too high, and it will be passed on to the next generation after being cured. There is also the most taboo to raise with other over-active dog breeds to prevent ligament damage caused by a lot of exercise! ! ! ! ! If you do steel nail fixation, you will have to take out the steel nail again after 6 months! !
Patella valgus and ligament strain basically occur at the same time, mainly caused by heredity! The trochlear groove behind the patella did not develop to the normal depth, and gradually emerged with the growth. The initial symptoms are sudden withdrawal and inability to move. After a period of time or artificial correction, it can return to normal immediately, but the same problem will appear in a few days, and the time will be gradually shortened to once a day, several times on the last day, until it is occasionally dislocated. At this time, I have to go to the hospital for surgery! !
The last point is to try not to keep it in a cage when someone is around, because a gap will hurt its ligament. Try not to keep it with that kind of fierce dog with a large amount of activity and super liveliness to prevent it from getting hurt when fighting! ! !
Hehe ~ ~ Since it is hereditary, I think the breeder should be responsible! Since people bought it at a high price, they should have a conscience to be responsible for it. One of my friends told the seller as soon as he got sick. The seller is also a very professional keeper. He gave another one without saying a word. I think this secret is actually a secret that any breeder knows but doesn't say. I'm here to say it for everyone's good. It is estimated that many people will scold me, but I still can't help but say that it is not easy for everyone to make money. No one wants to see his money and treasure gone.
Teach you a little trick. When VIP is 3 months old, he will bend back and forth repeatedly with his hind legs. Listen carefully! If the channel has a crunchy sound, then this VIP is definitely not needed. Patella valgus is definitely hereditary. This is also taught by my rich brother. I'm learning sales now! ! Haha ~ ~ ~ ~
