🩺🔍 Today on Diagnostic Diaries!
We saw a sweet 3-year-old Springer x Cocker Spaniel who came in for investigation of an oropharyngeal stick injury.
A CT of the head and thorax revealed:
➡️ At least two foreign bodies in the right longus coli muscle
• A long stick ~13 cm
• A smaller shard ~3 cm
These findings give us a clear roadmap to safely remove the foreign bodies and relieve discomfort, helping this brave pup recover fully. 💙🐾

🧠🔍 Today on Diagnostic Diaries!
We saw a sweet 7-year-old Springer Spaniel who presented with nystagmus, walking sideways, and generally just not being herself.
An MRI of the head revealed:
➡️ Right-sided otitis externa, media, and interna
➡️ Neuritis of the vestibular and facial nerves
➡️ Very mild focal meningitis
➡️ Cellulitis
These findings highlight the extent of this patient’s inner and middle ear disease and the resulting inflammation affecting her neurological function. With this information, we can tailor a treatment plan to help her feel steady and herself again soon. 💙🐾

🩺🔍 Today on Diagnostic Diaries!
We met a lovely 6-year-old Dachshund who presented with ataxia of the left hindlimb. This patient also had a history of spinal surgery in 2024, making today’s findings especially important.
An MRI of the spine revealed:
➡️ Disc extrusion admixed with epidural hemorrhage
➡️ Resulting in moderate left-sided extradural spinal cord compression from mid-L3 to caudal L5
These findings give us vital insight into the cause of this patient’s neurological signs and help guide the next steps in management and care. 💙🐾

🩺🔍 Today on Diagnostic Diaries!
We saw a sweet 6-year-old Miniature Pinscher who came to us with lameness in the left hindlimb. A CT scan of the hindlimbs revealed several important findings:
Chronic malunion fracture of the left femoral condyles
Severe left-sided disuse muscle atrophy
Bilateral medial patellar luxation with mild synovial effusion
Bilateral stifle osteoarthrosis
Mild left-sided coxofemoral joint subluxation
Bilateral fractures of the 1st metatarsal bone
• Right: Oligotrophic non-union
• Left: Severe displacement of the distal fragment
These findings help us understand the complexity of this little dog’s hindlimb issues and guide us toward the most effective treatment plan to restore comfort and mobility. 💙🐾
