Differentiating between neurological and orthopaedic causes of gait
abnormalities can be challenging. When is a dog ataxic?, when is it paretic?
when is it lame?
In the same way head tilts, nystagmus, circling can be be challenging to
pin down to central or peripheral causes.
With the help of a neurologist (Dr Mike Targett), an orthopaedic surgeon
(Mr Mark Owen) and an Ophthalmologist (Mr Tim Knott) we hope to be able help you
solve these diagnostic puzzles.
Mark (orthopaedic surgeon) will then take you through advances in the
management of stifle and elbow disease - two of the commonest causes for
forelimb and pelvice lamenenss.
