Osteoarthritis after cruciate ligament surgery in dogs

Osteoarthritis after cruciate ligament surgery in dogs

General / From

Osteoarthritis following cruciate ligament surgery in dogs is a very common issue in small animal orthopedics. Many dog owners initially assume that their dog's knee will be completely healthy again after cruciate ligament surgery. This hope is understandable. However, from a veterinary perspective, it is important to explain that cruciate ligament surgery can improve the stability of the knee joint, reduce pain, and normalize stress. However, it does not completely reverse existing osteoarthritis.

Shock lung in cats

Shock lung in cats

Cat diseases, Cat friendly clinic / From

Acute respiratory distress in cats is always an emergency. If a cat suddenly starts breathing heavily, with its mouth open, stretches its neck forward, spreads its elbows, shows pale or bluish mucous membranes, collapses, or appears extremely lethargic, you must not wait. In such situations, every minute counts. Cats often show signs of respiratory distress late and may only appear quieter, more withdrawn, or less resilient for a long time. By the time the owner clearly recognizes the respiratory distress, the cat is often already critically ill.

Dog otitis externa

Dog otitis externa

ENT, Dog diseases, Otitis / From

Otitis externa in dogs is one of the most common reasons why dogs are presented to veterinary practice with ear problems. This refers to an inflammation of the external ear canal. Many owners first notice head shaking, scratching at the ear, an unpleasant odor, brown or yellowish discharge, redness, pain when touched, or a change in head posture. In my daily work as a veterinarian, it becomes clear time and again that otitis externa in dogs is rarely just a superficial hygiene problem. It is usually a visible sign that there is an inflammatory, microbial, or allergic problem in the ear canal.

Bloody gastroenteritis in dogs

Bloody gastroenteritis in dogs

Dog diseases, Dogs / From

Bloody gastroenteritis in dogs should always be taken seriously. From my perspective as a veterinarian who advises pet owners, a dog with bloody diarrhea must be seen by a veterinarian within 24 hours at the latest, but often much sooner. If the bloody gastroenteritis is accompanied by vomiting, weakness, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, pale mucous membranes, rapid pulse, dehydration, or even collapse, it is not a case to be ignored, but rather an emergency requiring immediate attention at the veterinary practice or clinic. International veterinary sources explicitly classify acute hemorrhagic diarrhea in dogs as a serious condition, sometimes requiring immediate treatment, because fluid loss can very quickly become life-threatening.

Vacuum therapy for dogs and cats

Vacuum therapy for dogs and cats

Dog diseases, Cat diseases / From

If a wound on a dog or cat isn't healing as expected, a regular bandage is sometimes insufficient. In such cases, vacuum therapy for dogs and cats can be a valuable addition to modern wound care. This method is also known as negative pressure wound therapy, VAC therapy, or NPWT. The principle is always the same: controlled negative pressure is applied to the wound to draw out wound exudate, relieve pressure on the tissue, and stimulate the formation of healthy granulation tissue. This procedure has been established in human medicine for many years, and vacuum therapy is also being used increasingly in small animal medicine for dogs and cats.

acute liver failure in cats

Acute liver failure in cats

Cat friendly clinic, Cat diseases / From

Acute liver failure in cats is an emergency. If your cat suddenly appears severely weak, stops eating, vomits repeatedly, has yellowish mucous membranes, develops bleeding, seems disoriented, or has seizures, you should immediately seek veterinary care. Cats with severe liver disease often deteriorate rapidly within a few hours. Liver and gallbladder diseases in cats must therefore be investigated early because the causes are very diverse and some cases can quickly become critical.

Ondansetron for vestibular syndrome in dogs

Ondansetron for vestibular syndrome in dogs

Dog diseases / From

Ondansetron for vestibular syndrome in dogs is a topic that deserves significantly more attention in veterinary practice than it currently receives. Many dog owners initially experience vestibular syndrome as a shock: the dog suddenly tilts to the side, holds its head at an angle, its eyes twitch, it appears disoriented, and can barely walk. To owners, this often looks dramatic, almost like a stroke. In reality, however, vestibular syndrome describes a disorder of the balance system, which can originate centrally in the brain or peripherally in the inner and middle ear. Typical symptoms include sudden loss of balance, head tilt, nystagmus, unsteadiness when standing and walking, and pronounced disorientation. It is precisely in this situation that one point is often underestimated: many dogs suffer not only from dizziness but also from severe nausea.

Iranian veterinarians

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.

Telephone KI veterinary practice

Telephone KI veterinary practice 24/7

General / From

As a vet and medical director of our small animal centre in Karlsruhe, I have tested many technical tools over the past few years to improve telephone accessibility and at the same time ensure medical quality and safety for patient owners. With our telephone AI veterinary practice from manta.vet, we are now relying on a solution that can do far more than a traditional answering machine. The telephone AI veterinary practice not only takes messages, but also structures enquiries, enables real-time appointment booking, accepts medication orders in a legally compliant manner and forwards real emergencies directly to our team - simply by using the keyword „emergency“. In this article, I show from the perspective of practical veterinary medicine why the telephone AI veterinary practice offers clear added value, how we use it in everyday life and why it sets new standards in terms of data security, quality and service.

Roundworms in the cat

Roundworms in the cat

Cat friendly clinic, Cat diseases / From

The term roundworms in cats primarily covers two species: Toxocara cati and Toxascaris leonina. In practice, Toxocara cati dominates. Infection typically occurs via the ingestion of infectious eggs from the environment, via prey (mice, birds) or - in kittens - via the mother's milk. Once ingested, the larvae continue to develop in the intestine, partially migrate through the body and finally mature into adult, spaghetti-like worms in the small intestine. These produce masses of eggs, which are excreted in the faeces and contaminate the environment. This completes the cycle of infection.

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve with animals

General / From

New Year's Eve is a happy occasion for many people, but for animals it is often one of the most stressful nights of the year. As a vet, I have seen countless dogs and cats through New Year's Eve over the years, treating emergencies, creating personalised plans and training owners. The key is early, structured preparation and thoughtful management on 31 December. This guide provides you with an evidence-based, tried and tested plan to ensure that New Year's Eve is as calm, safe and healthy as possible for your dog or cat.
