Recovery Has No Age Limit: Stifle Stabilization | A Cranial Cruciate Ligament Repair via DeAngelis Technique in a Senior Dog

Perky, a 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, was presented to us with a non-weight-bearing grade 4 lameness of the left hind limb. After confirming a complete rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), surgical stabilization of the stifle was recommended due to the severity of her knee.

Our Senior Surgeon, Dr. John Dexter, along with Dr. Sheila Mae, performed the DeAngelis extracapsular stabilization technique. This involved placing a monofilament nylon suture around the lateral fabella and through a tunnel drilled in the proximal tibia to act as an artificial ligament, followed with lateral imbrication of the joint capsule to further enhance stability.

The DeAngelis technique is a common and effective method for small to medium-sized dogs under 15–20 kg. It is typically not recommended for larger dogs, as the pressure can cause the suture to break. Most dogs (up to 90%) have successful outcome and return to normal activity levels.

Perky’s prognosis is fair to good despite her age and the chronic nature of her joint disease. She is continuing her postoperative management and rehabilitation, and we are glad to share that she is steadily regaining her mobility.

Old age doesn’t have to mean an end to mobility. Thank you for always trusting us with the care, mobility, and recovery of your pets 🫡.

Endoscopic Retrieval of Gastric Foreign Body in a 5-year-old Pug 🐶

Meet Bob, a 5y.o. Male pug who was referred to us after being diagnosed with foreign body obstruction. Radiographic images confirmed the presence of a foreign body lodged in the stomach near the pyloric junction.

Our team successfully retrieved the foreign objects using endoscopy, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure used to remove swallowed items from the esophagus or stomach. Endoscopy allows us to successfully retrieve foreign materials without performing an invasive abdominal surgery. The recovery from this procedure is faster and less painful. We’re happy to share that Bob has recovered well with no complications.

We extend our gratitude to Bob’s owner for trusting our team to provide the best care for his health.

⚠️ Reminders for Pet Owners:
Foreign body obstruction (FBO) can happen quickly, especially in curious dogs and cats that love to chew. Monitor your pets for suspicious signs such as:
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Abdominal pain
• Straining or difficulty defecating

Always supervise playtime and regularly inspect toys for loose or breakable parts that could be swallowed.

When in doubt, consult your veterinarian because early intervention can save lives and prevent major surgery.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝘀 🍒👀

Have you noticed a red lump in your pet's eye that looks like a cherry and wondered what it is? It might be Cherry Eye.

This condition occurs when the tear gland of the third eyelid (the nictitating membrane) becomes pr*****ed. While initially painless, leaving it untreated can lead to irritation and dryness which may affect your dog's long-term comfort and eye health.

We recently had a patients, Voltaire a 4-year-old male feline British Shorthair and Sydney, a 2-year-old female mixed Shihtzu, presented to us with red lump in their eyes. Following surgical intervention with our team, they returned for a re-check consultation seven days later, and we are happy to share that they’re now fully healed and cherry eye-free! 😍

Most cases of cherry eye recover exceptionally well with surgical correction. It is the most effective way to protect the gland's function and prevent further complications.

Cherry eye can sometimes recur, and dogs develop it in one eye may eventually develop it in the other. If you notice anything unusual in your pet's eye, it's always best to have them checked by a veterinarian.

At Animal Doctors Veterinary Hospital, we provide surgical corrections for cases like Voltaire's and Sydney's to keep your pet's comfortable.

Mindanao’s First Total Hip Replacement Surgery Successfully Performed at ADVH 🐾

Animal Doctors Veterinary Hospital marks historic first in veterinary orthopedics, successfully performing the Total Hip Replacement (THR) in Mindanao.

On February 10, ADVH performed the procedure on two Golden Retrievers: Nix, a 3-year-old dog, and Olaf, a 7-year-old dog. Both patients suffered from chronic hip issues that limited their mobility.

Total Hip Replacement is an advanced procedure that replaces a painful or damaged hip joint with an artificial one. It provides a permanent solution for dogs suffering from severe hip dysplasia, arthritis, or joint trauma, restoring their ability to move without pain.

The surgeries were a team effort between the ADVH Team, Our Senior Surgeon Dr. John Dexter, and Dr. Cerdy Deloso of Deloso Vet - Caloocan, with on-site mentoring of Dr. Chen Weili from Kunming Jiujiu Pet Hospital.

This follows the recent recognition of Dr. John Dexter as the first BlueSAO-Certified Total Hip Replacement surgeon in the Philippines. This successful operation marks a major shift in local surgical capabilities – bringing advanced, life-changing orthopedic care within reach for every pet owner in Mindanao.
