Idiopathic head tremors are characterized by three movements: rotational, up and down, and side to side. They occur spontaneously and typically last for 1–3 minutes. [3] There is often not a postictal stage that generally follows a seizure, because idiopathic head tremors are not considered seizure activity. Dogs are generally alert and ...
The Whippet is a British breed of medium-sized dog of the sighthound type, related to the larger Greyhound and the smaller Italian Greyhound.Aside from size differences, the Whippet closely resembles these two breeds and is sometimes referred to as the "miniature Greyhound" or, colloquially, as "the poor man's racehorse."
Femoral head ostectomy (FHO) is when the head of the femur is removed but not replaced. Instead, the resulting scar tissue from the operation takes the place of the hip joint. This false joint is less stable with a reduced range of motion than a normal joint, causing an abnormal gait.
Head pressing is usually a sign of a neurological disorder, especially of the forebrain (e.g., prosencephalon disease), [1] or of toxicity due to liver damage, such as portosystemic shunt and hepatic encephalopathy. [2] It should be distinguished from bunting, which is a normal behavior found in healthy animals.
Tying back only one of the arytenoid cartilages instead of both helps reduce the risk of aspiration. Afterwards the dog will still sound hoarse, and will need to be managed in the same way as those with mild cases of LP. Recent studies have found that many dogs with laryngeal paralysis have decreased motility of their esophagus.
The sight of Finlay Bealham limping off is a real concern for Ireland with Tahdg Furlong already injured and Tom O'Toole not available until round three due to suspension.
Plagiocephaly, also known as flat head syndrome, [1] [2] is a condition characterized by an asymmetrical distortion (flattening of one side) of the skull.A mild and widespread form is characterized by a flat spot on the back or one side of the head caused by remaining in a supine position for prolonged periods.
A limp is a type of asymmetric abnormality of the gait.Limping may be caused by pain, weakness, neuromuscular imbalance, or a skeletal deformity. The most common underlying cause of a painful limp is physical trauma; however, in the absence of trauma, other serious causes, such as septic arthritis or slipped capital femoral epiphysis, may be present.
