New TPLO plate system

TPLO surgery, short for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat cruciate ligament tears in the knee joint, primarily in dogs. By adjusting the angle of the pubic bone, the procedure neutralizes shear forces in the knee, thereby stabilizing the joint and obviating the need for an intact cruciate ligament. The result: a stable knee joint that allows the animal to move with complete confidence and without pain. It is an efficient and reliable method to quickly restore mobility and quality of life.

Vestibular syndrome in dogs

Vestibular syndrome in dogs

Geriatric vestibular syndrome is a disease that affects a dog's balance system (vestibular system). Located in the inner ear, this organ is responsible for detecting rotational movements and linear accelerations. The resulting sensory data is transmitted via nerve pathways to the brain, where it is processed and used to coordinate the position of the body and eyes with the position of the head. To date, no specific cause of this disease has been identified, although disorders of lymphatic flow in the inner ear or immunological events are considered as possible triggers.
