Hello,
I have had 3 arthroscopies on my left knee to repair my lateral horn meniscus in September 2009, January 2014 and March 2015. Each time after the operation and recovery my knee begins to feel good and strong again.
After 1 and a half year since my last operation my knee has felt great, however 5 days ago I squatted down (asian squat toilet), and instantly knew I had torn the cartilage again.
Since this moment my left knee has a constant ache/throb.
The vet advised that this was not a lump but his bone and that the muscle tissueon the side of his face has wasted away due to nerve damage in his Jaw. He had aan operation to move a growth inside his mouth last year could this be cause of the nerve damage , the nerve being severed or damage during the operation. The vet has now put him on steroids .
Gallbladder surgery in dogs is a very serious undertaking. Since your dog is a senior, healing is going to be even slower. The one thing I'm concerned about is your statement that he is passing urine through his wound. There is no way that should be considered normal at all. Please call your veterinarian, and if you don't get a solid answer, take your dog to a different vet for evaluation.
Surgical repair for torn meniscus of L' Knee. 3 months post-op it buckled, caused tear during fall to R' Knee and meniscus was surgically repaired but has also failed, although the surgeon refuses to order an MRI to "prove" this latest injury. Pain is an issue as I am allergic to all pain meds ordered to date and take nothing for the pain levels of 9-10. Before injury both knees were healthy, minimal arthritic changes on MRI's in spite of age 58 and obesity.
if any one else has experienced something like this plz help me to understand this.moreover doctor has suggested for her an operation for the knee replacement but she doesn't have strenght enough to undergo this surgery as she had already two operations i.e uterus removal ang gall bladder removal..
plz give me some information if anybody has this kind of experience.
i'll be so grateful.
Well, without knowing the relevant clinical details or a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to identify the cause of knee pain in your case. Possibilities include chondromalacia, tendonitis, bursitis, fractures, patellar dislocation, injuries to the internal knee ligaments/ menisci, infections/ inflammations, arthritis, cyst formation, bone growths/ tumours, nerve injuries etc; just to name a few.
The USDA released a report in May after inspectors visited 68 breeders in eight states said dogs across the U.S. were living and dying in horrific conditions.
The report also said the Animal Care unit of the Animal and Plan Health Inspection Service, the agency responsible for enforcing the Animal Welfare Act, often failed to penalize puppy mill owners, even in repeat cases.
