Prolapsed rectum in puppy. Rectal prolapse occurs in a wide range of species and may be caused by enteritis, intestinal parasites, rectal disorders and other underlying conditions. In rectal prolapse, one or more layers of the rectum protrude through the anus due to persistent tenesmus associated with intestinal, anorectal, or urogenital disease. Diagnosis is based on the primary clinical sign, a cylindrical tissue mass protruding from the anus Treatment includes lavage of the protruding tissue, reduction, and placement of a temporary purse-string suture. Straining may be prevented by applying a topical anesthetic.

Haemophilia is a rare blood disease in Australia, and it is present in 1 in 6000 males (mostly!). Rare conditions are often misunderstood. Today is Rare Disease Day, and I am posting to support families affected by Haemophilia and all rare diseases. It can be a frightening and lonely journey, constantly having to advocate while in crisis and monitoring life. In Australia, we are fortunate to have exceptional Haematology teams and specialists supporting Bleeding Disorders. It is a small community but strong. Thank you to everyone who supports the Haemophilia Community in Australia. Here are some facts about Haemophilia; -Bleeding (‘bleeds’) can occur internally in any body part, including joints, muscles and organs, particularly after an injury or surgery. It can also happen without an apparent cause (sometimes called ‘spontaneous’). -Over time, repeated bleeding into joints and muscles can cause arthritis, chronic pain and disability. -Specialised treatment is needed to help blood clot normally. With appropriate treatment, haemophilia can be managed effectively. You can read more about Haemophilia here https://lnkd.in/g-tKQ6gs #rarediseaseday #haemophilia #haematology

November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month! Skipping eye exams can be vision-threatening for people with diabetes. In fact, diabetes is the leading cause of preventable blindness in adults aged 20-74 in the U.S. About one-third of people with diabetes develop diabetic retinopathy, a potentially blinding complication. Since early stages of diabetic retinopathy often show no symptoms, annual exams are critical for early detection. Schedule your exam with NewView Eye Center today and help protect your vision. The American Academy of Ophthalmology estimates that 95% of diabetes-related vision loss could be prevented with yearly eye exams. #NewViewEyeCenter #DiabeticEyeHealth #DiabeticRetinopathy #PreventBlindness #EyeExams

Dextro-transposition of the great arteries is a rare, cyanotic congenital heart disease that affects 3 in 10,000 births. Without surgical repair, D-TGA has a high infant mortality rate within the first week of life. Fortunately, however, there are excellent outcomes after surgical repair, specifically with the arterial switch operation (ASO), with 15- to 20-year survival rates > 95%. #CASESpecialIssue #10DaysofCASE #ACHD

Symptoms of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : Fatigue: Difficulty breathing can lead to reduced oxygen intake, causing fatigue and reduced energy levels.    Weight Loss: In advanced stages, COPD may lead to weight loss and muscle weakness due to increased energy expenditure during breathing.   Chronic Cough: Often with mucus production, lasting for months or years.                          Shortness of Breathe (Dyspnea): Especially during physical activity or exertion, due to the narrowed airways and reduced lung function.  Frequent Respiratory Infections: COPD patients are more susceptible to respiratory infections like pneumonia and bronchitis.

Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves, usually caused by bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens entering the bloodstream and attaching to damaged areas of the heart. Risk factors include pre-existing heart conditions, intravenous drug use, and recent surgeries. Symptoms may include fever, chills, fatigue, heart murmurs, and petechiae (tiny red or purple spots on the skin), and if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, embolism, and even death. Diagnosis is usually made through blood cultures and echocardiograms, with treatment typically involving prolonged courses of intravenous antibiotics or surgical intervention in severe cases. #hearthealth #heart #heartdisease #cardiology #hearthealthy #cardiologist #healthyheart #heartattack #cardio #cardiovascular #doctor #heartdiseaseawareness #cardiovasculardisease #cardiacsurgery #heartbeat #heartsurgery #cardiac #hearthealthawareness #heartfailure #cardiacarrest #ecg #eeg
