Avatar f tn If you choose medical management, pain meds and strict cage rest for a minimum of 6 weeks is the standard of care. Laser therapy is controversial in that its efficacy is not proven. That being said, some people find that it works well for certain types of injuries and may not work for certain individuals. It will not harm your pet, but it may not work. The other option is surgery to remove a portion of the herniated disk to relieve the compression of the spinal cord.
8412758 tn?1398013501 s views on ACL/CCL tears in SMALL dogs.....The new line of thinking is that they DO NOT need repaired, but can heal just as well on their own..... Now, if this is could be a Patellar Luxation, then it would require surgery... I have done both surgery &/or no surgery on torn ACLs/CCLs.....They seem to heal fine either way......Mine (All cases) were restricted from doing more damage for 4 weeks....In our case a knee brace was not used, but I think a sturdy wrap is helpful.....
Avatar n tn minerals, however, I have been administering 1000 iu/day of Vit E. I know Clemmons recommends 2000 iu/day in dogs w/DM but my vet is wary of this dosage. What do you think? Will it hurt him or cause any other conditions? He weighs 70lbs. I was told by a vet nutritionist that it can affect his vit K absorption and cause a coagulation problem. Also, I am wondering what you think about the 2 drugs that Clemmons recommends from WestLab: EACA & NAC? Have they worked on any dogs?

Avatar f tn No questins here. I just had Laser surgery yesterday, performed by Dr. Vosoghi. I have been in his care for approximately one month and could not be more impressed.

Avatar n tn My question is, as I am so shortsighted, is it OK to have the Laser Cataract Surgery? I ask this because the Laser Cataract Surgery is said to be less traumatic to the eye.

Avatar m tn I took him to my Holistic Vet that said Absolutely NOT to the surgery...We did laser treatments for a few months to speed the healing....It's Laser therapy such as Professional athletes use for injuries...

So far, my guy is doing fine...Sometimes, he does something crazy & limps a time or two, but not often....
Avatar f tn Some holes predispose you to having a retinal detachment so laser barricade is sometimes advised to prevent this. It is not major surgery and is done in the office. Discuss the risks with your surgeon. Lens exam with indirect ophthalmoscopes helps your surgeon both see and laser the holes.
Avatar f tn The U-shaped tear is also called a Horshoe Tear. If retina doc is recommending laser (aka "barrier laser" to form a barrier of laser around the tear), then I'd do it. Sure, there are risks. Nothing is risk free, but the risk of not treating is much much higher than the risk of doing the procedure. Sincerely, Timothy D. McGarity, M.D.

10175753 tn?1408314528 Can a lens put in after cataract surgery be replaced if damaged during laser procedure?
Avatar n tn Then the phaco/aspiration portion of the lens removal is the same as standard cataract surgery. If you are in the US, Richard Lindstrom in Minneapolis, Eric Donnenfeld in NY, Mark Packer in Oregon, and possibly Robert Osher in Cincinnati are using the femtosecond laser.
Avatar m tn I had cataract surgery nearly 3 years ago in my right eye. About 11 months after surgery I had a PVD event in this eye. I had cataract surgery in my left eye about a year and a half ago and got the PVD in this eye 13 months after surgery. I understand risk of PVD is quite elevated about a year after surgery, and my experience seems to validate that.
