Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hi all, I have a 6 year old GSH that was HBC. Had a right comminuted tibial fracture repaired one week ago. He has hip dysplasia bilaterally - worse clinically on the left. I examined him today as he has not been doing well. Very little weight bearing and has an odd gait. He is very poor muscled in general, but significant atrophy on the right pelvic limb due to lack of use. There is mild peroneal nerve impairment on the right when reflex testing and he cannot fully extend his tarsal joint on the right (currently at 113 degrees - normal on the left). Not sure if the floating bone fragment has possibly caused some adhesions involving the cranial tibialis and is impairing full extension and if these adhesions are also possibly impairing my cranial tibilias reflex? I am curious what everyone thinks about his gait, it looks very myopathic to me (bilaterally), but there are no palpable fibrotic areas. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.Thanks-you in advance,Tara , DVM, CCRT 1 of 1 Photo(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
