  Current Patient Of The Month : December 2007

VSCD likes to profile a certain case every month (POTM.) You can read about that patient directly below.

Name: Daisy
Breed: Pug
Age: 1 year
Condition: Congenital Growth Deformity
 

Little Daisy presented for consultation for bilateral growth deformities of her antebrachii (forearms).  Little Daisy was a ‘rescue’ dog from the Sacramento area who was ‘fostered’ by a local couple who fell in love with her – and she’s never left them!  Little Daisy presented to Dr. John J. Haburjak to determine if her growth deformities could conceivably be remedied with a surgical intervention.  On physical examination it was evident that both of Little Daisy’s forearms were badly deformed.  Essentially her ‘elbows’ were ‘locked’ in flexion (unable to act as a hinge—as the joint should) and she essentially ‘walked’ on the flat part (volar surface) of her forearms.  Radiographs (x-rays) demonstrated severe contortion with torsional deformities of both ulna – with resultant malformation of each elbow, limb fore-shortening and malpositioning of both the radius and ulna of each forearm!  The amazing story of Little Daisy is the remarkable way in which ‘functioned’.  Through team work and dedication (as well as some extraordinary dedication by a team of physical therapists and a customized cart from the team of design specialists at www.eddieswheels.com) Little Daisy was very mobile!  Based on her agility and ambulatory capacity with her cart, and given the severity of her joint malformation, it was determined that surgery would be unlikely to achieve any benefit to Little Daisy’s quality of life!  This little dog is very amazing indeed!
