Comparison of tibial plateau angles in normal and cranial cruciate deficient stifles of Labrador retrievers.
OBJECTIVE To investigate tibial plateau angles (TPA) in normal and cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficient stifles of Labrador retrievers. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS Eighty-one client-owned purebred Labrador retrievers. METHODS Lateral radiographs of the tibia were obtained from 2 groups of dogs. Group I (42 dogs) had CCL rupture diagnosed by arthrotomy or arthrosc...
متن کاملLong-Term Health Effects of Neutering Dogs: Comparison of Labrador Retrievers with Golden Retrievers
Our recent study on the effects of neutering (including spaying) in Golden Retrievers in markedly increasing the incidence of two joint disorders and three cancers prompted this study and a comparison of Golden and Labrador Retrievers. Veterinary hospital records were examined over a 13-year period for the effects of neutering during specified age ranges: before 6 mo., and during 6-11 mo., year...
متن کاملFeasibility of utilizing the patellar ligament angle for assessing cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs
The patellar ligament angle (PLA) was assessed in 105 normal stifle joints of 79 dogs and 33 stifle joints of 26 dogs with a ruptured cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL). The PLA of stifles with complete CrCL rupture was significantly lower than that of normal stifles, particularly at a flexion angle of 60 ˜ 80° in both plain and stress views. If the PLA was < 90.55° on the stress view with a 60 ˜...
متن کاملFactors contributing to the variability of a predictive score for cranial cruciate ligament deficiency in Labrador Retrievers
BACKGROUND We recently reported that a conformation score derived from the tibial plateau angle (TPA) and the femoral anteversion angle (FAA), best discriminates limbs predisposed to, or affected by cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD), from those that are at low risk for CCLD. The specificity and sensitivity of this score were high enough to support further investigations toward its use fo...
متن کاملHypothyroidism in Golden Retrievers
The thyroid gland is a small gland located near around the voice box, or larynx, in the neck. Hormones from the thyroid gland affect the rate of metabolism and temperature control, among other functions. Hypothyroidism, or low concentrations of thyroid hormones, is the most common endocrine disease of dogs, and breeders rate it as one of the most important health conditions of purebred dogs. Wh...
