Meet our patient of the week, Ruby!
She presented in June for an acute hind limb lameness. After 2 weeks of conservative treatment, her limp wasn’t any better, and joint exam showed concerns for instability of her right knee.
Radiographs showed joint subluxation consistent with a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tear – this is comparable to a human tearing their ACL. Ouch! Unfortunately this is actually a common injury in dogs, usually due to degenerative disease, but sometimes caused by trauma alone.
Ruby was referred to a specialist surgeon at Arista and had a TPLO surgery with a metal implant to correct the instability. She’s now about 2 months into recovery and rehab and doing great, getting back to her normal self and able to run free again!

Meet our patient of the week Link! He’s the sweetest cat you’ll meet.
Link came to us for vomiting and loss of appetite. Radiographs showed intestines obstructed by foreign material. Surgery that day removed a hair tie. Link is on the mend after surgery and getting back to his normal self! We hope he learns to eat food only from here on out!

Meet our patient of the week Lizzie! She’s a delightful dog! ❤️
Lizzie presented with acute illness last week. Prompt evaluation and diagnostics revealed a bleeding mass on her spleen. She had emergency surgery to remove the organ (the mass was 11cm wide!), and was hospitalized afterwards to treat her blood loss and a common post-operative arrhythmia.
Lizzie is doing great this week, and our whole team was overjoyed to learn her biopsy report came back with great news – her mass is benign with no signs of cancer! 🎉

Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common cardiomyopathy in dogs.
The disease results in an enlarged (dilated) heart due to heart muscle thinning and weakening, eventually leading to systolic dysfunction and congestive heart failure (CHF).
In cats with proper taurine levels, the disease is now very rare.
Common dog breeds affected include Dobermans, Boxers, Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Irish Wolfhounds, and Saint Bernards.
There is also a form of this disease linked to grain-free diets in dogs, with atypical breeds represented. Please use caution when feeding grain-free diets, and consult your veterinarian on nutrition recommendations.
Hereditary disease forms unfortunately have a poor prognosis since the primary disease state can’t be fixed. Nutritional-related disease forms carry a better prognosis, and can often be reversed with proper identification and treatment.

1. Cats 🐈 can get heartworms too!
2. Dogs 🐕 can be exposed to heartworms year-round and indoors
3. Standard screening tests have a 6 month lag between exposure and a detectable infestation
4. Prevention is the easiest treatment
