Q

The owner of the above dog also reports that the dog seems to be sore in her neck and shakes her head all the time. Like they said before, the dog does not like to play with its toys. The referring veterinarian has been treating the dog for an ear infeciton, although they could never find evidence of such. Upon exam you notice there is decreased mobility of the dog’s neck, especially upon flexion at the poll. The dog resists you lowering its nose. There is a bilateral decreased space between the atlas and the occiput. What is the probable subluxation in this patient

Q

When performing a neurological exam on a horse you should

Q

Horse won the national barrel racing championship for geriatric citizens for the past two years. The referring veterinarian has treated the horse for chronic neck pain and the horse is becoming more and more reluctant to make tight turns while going around the barrels. Upon exam you notice the horse has pain at the poll and a closed atlas/mandible space on the right side. According to the owner the horse shakes his head a lot and you notice the head is not held in vertical alignment. The horse is sensitive when you touch the right ear and the obliquus capitis cranialis m. is tight on the riht side. What subluxation

A

atlas superior righ

50
Q

Dog has decreased lateral flexion of the neck and generalized gait abnormalities with rear limb ataxia. The right forelimb does not advance as far forward as the left. Upon palpation you palpate a fixation (hypomobile segment) at the level of C4 and the body of C4 palpates noticeably more to the left than the rest of the cervical vertebra. What is the probable subluxation in the patient

Q

A 3yo dressage horse is presented to you for chiro care. The horse belongs to donald trumps lawyers daughter and was referred to you by the top equine vet in the world.
