in severe lameness, the ____________ is shod w/ a wooden block to avoid damage to the affected digit
sound digit
wooden block is removed after __________
1 wk
causes of heel abscessation
- necrotic pododermatitis
- interdigital necrobacillosis
- puncture wounds
restraint in treating heel abscess
standing or recumbent
local IV analgesia for heel abscess tx
bier block (w/ tourniquet)
T/F: if deep flexor tendon is necrotic, toes are wired for 3 wks to prevent upturning of the operated digit
6 wks
indi of digit amputation
- purulent necrotic inflam of the distal or proximal interphalangeal joint
- severe pedal trauma
restraint for digit amputation
standing w/ limb elevated and secured

local IV analgesia (use torniquet)
it is inserted in the incision to saw off the digit
embryotomy wire
alternative for embrytomy wire
cable wire
transected during digit ampu
- middle phalanx
- flexor tendons
- digital flexor synovial sheath
- skin
it is not a very common method and more on theoretical in treating spastic paresis
tibial neurectomy
mm. invovled in tibial neurectomy
gastrocnemius - complete tenotomy
superficial flexor - partial
most favored procedure in denervating the gastrocnemius and half of the superficial digital flexor mm.
neurectomy
anesth for tibial neurectomy
- tranquilization and lumbosacral/epidural anesth
- local analgesia (lidocaine)
20-25 cm incision between _________________ and _______________
