Follicular cysts in cats are a common condition, particularly in older female cats. They are also known as ovarian cysts or follicular ovarian cysts. In cats, follicular cysts are typically: - Fluid-filled sacs that develop in the ovaries - Benign (non-cancerous) - Associated with hormonal imbalances, especially in spayed females Symptoms may include: - Enlarged abdomen - Vaginal discharge - Abnormal heat cycles or behavior - Lethargy - Weight loss If you suspect your cat has a follicular cyst, it's crucial to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and care. They may recommend: - Ultrasound or radiographic imaging - Hormonal therapy - Surgical removal of the cyst or ovaries (ovariohysterectomy) Early detection and treatment can help manage the condition and prevent potential complications, such as ovarian torsion or rupture.

A 5-year-old female Shih Tzu presented with complaints of vaginal discharge, anorexia, and dullness. Upon physical examination, we observed similar signs and symptoms, including vaginal pus-like discharge, high fever, reduced appetite, and progressive weight loss. Diagnostic tests revealed: - CBC: increased WBCs and neutrophils - Ultrasound: fluid-like material in the uterus, suggestive of pus Based on these findings, we suspected pyometra and decided to perform an ovariohysterectomy (OVH) under general anesthesia. Intraoperatively, we confirmed pus accumulation in the uterus (pyometra), as seen in the video. Post-operative care included: - IV fluids - Antibiotics - Antiseptic dressing We successfully managed the case, and the patient recovered well." #veterinarymedicine #caninehealth #pyometra #reproductivehealth #emergencyurgery #smallanimalmedicine

A cat's tooth growing outside of its mouth could be due to a number of conditions, including: Alveolar osteitis: A common condition that occurs when chronic periodontal disease causes new bone to form around the tooth socket, pushing the tooth out. The gum tissue around the tooth may also become swollen and red. Extrusion: A tooth can be pushed out of its socket due to infection or periodontal disease. Retained deciduous teeth: When the roots of a cat's baby teeth don't fully resorb, preventing the adult teeth from growing in. This is thought to be a genetic condition. Congenital oral deformities: Some cases of congenital oral deformities can cause teeth to be visible from outside of the mouth, along with other abnormalities in the mouth or face. Other dental issues in cats include: Gingivitis A common issue in cats around five months old, caused by the eruption of permanent teeth and loss of baby teeth. Periodontal disease A condition caused by gum disease that affects the bone and tissues that connect the tooth to the gums.

In a #traumatic #amputation , there is typically massive tissue destruction and contamination. Vascular disruption can cause severe blood loss, while nerve damage contributes to loss of sensation and movement. The amputation site is often jagged or irregular, making it difficult to close surgically. Infection risk is high due to contamination from the environment, and in severe cases, systemic shock can occur due to blood loss and trauma. #diagnosis involves: - Physical Examination: Assessing the site for bone exposure, bleeding, and infection. - #radiograph (#Xrays): To determine the extent of bone and joint damage. - Blood Tests: To check for blood loss and potential infection. - #Ultrasound or #CTScans: If the amputation site is close to critical structures, imaging can provide a clearer view.

We’re LOVING these results from Brittney Tucker, PA-C! Taking a new approach to radiofrequency microneedling, Sylfirm X offers both PW and CW modes. The benefits? PW: Creates a soft coagulation selectively in the basal layer and upper dermis. Coagulates the basal membrane and abnormal small blood vessels with no noticeable effect on surrounding tissue. CW: Creates wide, independent coagulation around each electrode. The coagulation area continues from the deeper to upper dermis with 1 penetration. #SylfirmX #RFmicroneedling #ClassIIdevice *Disclaimer: Sylfirm X is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.
