Dog lame in right hind leg
Small breed dog wht=11.6lb : small breed dogs are predisposed to certain conditions
Fell off bed a year ago : possible traumatic event leading to injury
Limp with wht bearing lameness (rt hind) : eliminates severe trauma leading to non-wht bearing lameness
Clinically normal w/in month : original insult repaired
Mild lameness recurred 6 mo later : probable secondary changes in jt
Tx with antiinflammatory injection-no response : indicates severe pain or non inflammatory process
Lameness hasn't progressed significantly
Indoor dog
Grade III/IV lameness on rt hind : intermittent non wht bearing lameness
Medial buttressing on rt stifle : medial proliferative compensation for stifle stability
Cranial drawer negative-pain noted : wasn't anesthetized so doesn't rule out cruciate rupture
Patella easy luxated medially-pain noted : indicates laxity in stifle
Pain response with lt hind limb palpatation : possibly bilateral problem
