As a migrant worker who sits in front of a computer all day, Bian Xiao once envied dogs: going out for a walk all day, not playing with a mobile phone computer, there is definitely no cervical vertebra problem …
Unexpectedly, dogs also have cervical spine problems! But also affect daily walking!
What's wrong with limping?
Before coming to Baoan Central Hospital of Ruipeng Pet Hospital, Mimi had symptoms such as trembling, limping and unable to bow her head. Her back was seriously arched and she would scream when she touched her neck. Go to a nearby hospital for conservative treatment and the effect is not obvious.
Dogs have been wheezing because of pain, just like people can't help moaning when they are in pain.
On the recommendation of Dr. Liu Guanghui, Mimi came to Ruipeng Baoan Central Hospital for further consultation. Dr. Li from Bao 'an Center immediately gave the dog an MRI examination. The results showed that cervical disc herniation appeared in C3-C4 vertebral bodies of dogs. It is this little "appearance" that makes Mimi suffer great pain!
The circled part in the figure is where the C3-C4 vertebral body has disc herniation.
The strong alliance between hospitals brings a better healing environment for dogs.
Disc herniation is a disease in which the nucleus pulposus in the disc compresses the spinal nerve. According to Mimi's condition, Dr. Yang Chao of Bao 'an Center performed a ventral incision for the dog and took out a number of intervertebral disc protrusions that compressed the nerves.
These protrusions look like "mini", but they bring great pain to dogs.
The operation was completed in Shenzhen Wit's large and well-equipped operating room.
With the superb medical skills of doctors and the strong support of Shenzhen Weite medical resources, Xiao Bixiong's operation was successfully completed, and he basically recovered the next day: the dog that was limping and panting in pain now walks normally and no longer screams when palpated!
Dogs can't bow their heads before, and it's okay to look up and down after surgery, so they can eat flexibly ~
Mimi Bixiong can bid farewell to the disease so quickly, which is closely related to their efforts:
The diagnosis of pain can not be separated from the comprehensive diagnosis of high-order imaging equipment MRI;
Rapid recovery is inseparable from the superb medical skills of the surgeon Dr. Yang Chao and his team;
The root cause can not be separated from the strong alliance between Baoan Center and Shenzhen Weite.
Accompanying and guarding are inseparable from parents' persistence.
Mimi's parents are Koreans, and the days in a foreign land are not so boring because of the company of dogs. This time, from the dog's illness to surgery to rehabilitation, parents can be seen all the time.
It is not clear whether "outstanding" and "outstanding" are stupid.
Many people will think it is "disc herniation" when they first hear it. There is a word difference, the similarities and differences between them!
Disc herniation and disc herniation are both nervous system diseases in which disc lesions occur and nucleus pulposus or annulus fibrosus compresses spinal cord or nerve.
But there are also the following differences between them:

Dogs with disc herniation usually have sudden pain or even paralysis. In most cases, conservative treatment has no effect. Just like a young man who has been sitting in an office for a long time and has a whim to play ball, he accidentally suffered a severe injury to his cervical spine and had to go to the hospital for treatment.
The pain of dogs with herniated intervertebral disc can be tolerated and generally does not affect walking. Most of them can be improved by conservative treatment. This is like the long-term discomfort of the elderly spine, but daily attention and care can alleviate it.
It should be noted that the traditional X-ray examination cannot show the intervertebral disc and spinal cord. Therefore, if you want to diagnose the dog's spine, it is recommended to go to a conditional pet hospital for CT or MRI examination!
This "big guy" can find problems that ordinary x-rays can't find.
