Hepatic microvascular dysplasia (HMD or MVD) or portal atresia is a disorder where mixing of venous blood and arterial blood in the liver occurs at the microscopic level. It occurs most commonly in certain dog breeds such as the Cairn and Yorkshire terriers although any dog breed may be at risk. [1] [2] [3] This disease may also be found in cats.
Microtia is a congenital deformity where the auricle (external ear) is underdeveloped. A completely undeveloped auricle is referred to as anotia. Because microtia and anotia have the same origin, it can be referred to as microtia-anotia. [1] Microtia can be unilateral (one side only) or bilateral (affecting both sides).
Worms and other internal parasites can be treated easily but are some of the most common problems seen in dogs. Some of the internal parasites that cause diarrhea and loose stools in puppies ...
Esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is the most common birth defect of the esophagus. The diagnosis of EA usually occurs within the first 24 hours of life, but it can be made antenatally or later. [8] Although environmental effects and genetic factors have been documented, the causes of EA remain largely unknown. [9]
CBD oil: If your dog is stressed because of pain (like arthritis), this has been proven to be helpful, but there is only anecdotal evidence that it will help dogs with stress. There are side ...
The isolated cause, a cause not associated with a syndrome, of anotia or microtia is not known, though it is believed to be of genetic basis. Developmentally, anotia/microtia occurs when certain tissues associated with the auricle do not develop. This rare defect may occur as part of a syndrome or as an isolated abnormality.
Dogs with a bacterial infection feel an increased need to urinate. Some dogs will have dark urine or other signs of illness and, when treated with antibiotics and other treatments, this can clear ...
Atresia, microtia, otitis media and other outer/middle ear abnormalities, as well as infants with sensorineural hearing loss, will require the use of bone-conduction ABR testing. Infants who have a considerable amount of amniotic fluid in their middle ear space may need to be tested with BCABR.
