Abstract

Orthopaedic conditions are common in both dogs and cats, and there are two main scenarios where rehabilitation and palliative care are appropriate: acute cases, including fractures, dislocation and ligament ruptures or sprains; chronic conditions, such as degenerative joint disease. The most important considerations for supportive care are: to alleviate pain; and to maintain function and improve mobility of the patient. Leg amputation in a cat; Total hip replacement in a dog; Hip dysplasia in a puppy – conservative management; Cruciate ligament repair in a dog; Tibial fracture repair in a cat; Patellar luxation in a dog; Humeral fracture in a dog; Osteoarthritis in a dog; Elbow arthritis in an elderly cat.

This cat, that presented with ipsilateral humeral and femoral fractures, has an enriched cage environment with a bed, litter tray, food and water bowls, and some fresh grass. The cage is also of a low height which prevents jumping and the mesh is small to prevent the clamps of the external skeletal fixator becoming entangled in the wire. The cage was modified from an outside rabbit run.

The Y fracture was stabilized with a medial bone plate, lateral bone plate and a transcondylar bone screw. Fracture reduction is good but there is a small gap in the condyle, which may indicate that the dog was suffering from incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle prior to acute complete fracture.
