Iranian veterinarians

Job description veterinarian / From

Iranian veterinarians are welcome here – explicitly and personally. We know that moving to Germany takes courage: a new language, a new healthcare system, new practice procedures. That's why we have a clear onboarding plan, dedicated mentors, structured rotations, and defined learning objectives each quarter. In your first phase, you will take on clearly defined tasks (e.g., reviewing standard internal medicine cases, participating in surgical preparation, standardized anesthesia protocols). Afterward, we will gradually expand your expertise: soft tissue surgery under supervision, basic ultrasound protocols, radiographic evaluation using a checklist, and dentistry with documented standard operating procedures (SOPs). This ensures that Iranian veterinarians aren't thrown in at the deep end, but rather achieve targeted and measurable progress.

Paraoesophageal abscess

Paraoesophageal abscess

Cat friendly clinic, Surgery, Dog diseases, Cat diseases / From

As a veterinarian, I am frequently confronted with complex chest diseases where a thorough diagnosis and prompt treatment determine the prognosis. A typical example is a paraesophageal abscess – a collection of pus in the tissue adjacent to the esophagus. A paraesophageal abscess usually develops as a result of a small perforation of the esophagus, often caused by swallowed foreign bodies (e.g., bones, sticks, fishhooks) or by secondary infections in the mediastinum. Even wood splinters that migrate easily from the throat or tongue can travel caudally along tissue fascia and cause a paraesophageal abscess near the esophagus. We see the interplay of a foreign body, local inflammation, bacterial colonization, and an encapsulated pus-filled cavity relatively frequently in dogs, whereas it is less common in cats.

Tumorous diseases in guinea pigs

Tumorous diseases in guinea pigs

Guinea pig diseases, Pet diseases / From

From a veterinary perspective, we speak of "tumorous diseases in guinea pigs" when tissue proliferates uncontrollably in the body. This can be benign or malignant (cancer). Guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) exhibit a spectrum of tumor types: frequently skin and subcutaneous tumors (e.g., lipomas, trichofolliculomas), relatively often changes in the mammary glands (mammary tumors), as well as diseases of the reproductive tract and lymphatic neoplasms (lymphomas). Clinically, such processes are noticeable through palpable lumps, altered skin surfaces, weight loss, decreased performance, reduced appetite, enlarged lymph nodes, respiratory problems, or nonspecific "age-related complaints." However, tumorous diseases in guinea pigs are easily overlooked because the animals instinctively compensate for impairments for a long time.

Pheochromocytoma in cats

Pheochromocytoma in cats

Cat diseases, Cat friendly clinic, Surgery / From

Pheochromocytoma in cats is a rare but clinically significant condition arising from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or the sympathetic paraganglia. These tumors typically produce excessive amounts of catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, which can lead to a variety of symptoms. Although pheochromocytoma in cats is not frequently diagnosed, it is important to recognize this condition because it can have serious consequences if left untreated. The following is a comprehensive summary of the key aspects of pheochromocytoma in cats.

Elbow dysplasia in dogs

Elbow dysplasia in dogs

Dog diseases, Surgery / From

Elbow dysplasia, a hereditary disease in dogs, occurs in various forms. These include fragmented medial coronoid process of the ulna (FCP), isolated anconeal process (IPA), and osteochondrosis (OCD). All of these conditions are growth-related disorders that, unfortunately, cannot be cured.

FCP and OCD are among the most common causes of lameness in young dogs. They typically appear between four and five months of age, when the dog is in its central growth phase.

Discopathy in dogs

Discopathy in dogs

Dog diseases, Surgery / From

Discopathy in dogs is a serious medical condition that develops from damage to or displacement of the intervertebral discs. To better understand it, we would first like to explain the role and structure of the intervertebral discs. They consist of a cartilaginous fibrous ring, also called the annulus fibrosus, and an elastic gelatinous core, called the nucleus pulposus. The intervertebral discs ensure pain-free movement of the back and absorb shocks to the spine, for example, when jumping. They are located between the bony vertebrae in the spinal column.
