Post-op chats at with Dr. Dimitar 🎤

We caught up with Dim after completing a TPLO surgery, giving us a quick insight into what goes on behind the scenes 👀

So, what is a TPLO? 💬
It stands for Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy, a common orthopaedic procedure used to treat cruciate ligament injuries in dogs (similar to an ACL tear in humans)

Seizures are always alarming 🚨

In this week’s Diagnostic Diaries, James breaks down a case involving a 7-year-old Boxer presenting with seizure episodes

🧠 What we discovered:
An MRI revealed a mass in the frontal lobe of the brain, with areas of necrosis - findings most consistent with a high-grade glioma

🔍 Why this matters:
Seizures can have many causes, but cases like this highlight the importance of investigating for underlying brain disease

💡 Key takeaways for vets & pet owners:
• Seizures can be a sign of serious neurological conditions
• MRI is essential for diagnosing and characterising brain lesions

Diagnostic Diaries case of the week! 🩺

We met a lovely 5-year-old French Bulldog who presented with knuckling and ataxia, clear signs of an underlying neurological issue. Advanced MRI imaging revealed a lesion at the level of C1 causing spinal cord compression, helping us understand the cause of these clinical signs and guide further management 🧠
