2. Describe how you would restrain a dog bought into the veterinary surgery suffering minor cuts and abrasions?

Lab/Great Dane mix with tumor on right rear femur causing some limping. Biopsy performed. Lab results did not indicate action plan. Have a good vet but he has no action plan except taking another biopsy for the lab. Lab results follow: No inflammation or neoplasia. Mild fibrosis and hemosiderin inspecific as to cause. Deeper histologic sections noted area of periosteal fibrosis, Observed osteoclastic resorption. Specimens not from area of lysis. Neither inflammation nor neoplasia is evident.

3yo neutered Mini Aussie, limping on right front paw, low appetite, very low activity. No obvious cause. sometimes seems 'pigeon toed' on that paw. No reaction when manipulated, no swelling, blood or fever.

adopted a 2 year old male cat, told he was in their special adoption program with Petco since he was "bullied in an open area cat rescue environment. He has always shown "affection" by biting, attacking body parts unilaterally, and he generally purrs while doing this. Basically a sweet and curious cat, skittish at new sounds. Suggestions?

cat-scratching & licking incessantly, thinning hair on tail, dull coat, scabs from scratching

Would a break in front right elbow of canine require amputation or will a splint, cast, or hobble be a possibility?

We had to amputate our dog's tail. He managed to get rid of the stiches 3 times. He now has an open wound. The local vet says nothing else can be done to close it because the skin around it is now too fragile.. we need a second opinion.

what means the cat has to be stabilized before surgery in case of intestinal heavy bleeding

Rescued a pit/american bull dog mix. He is 3 years old. Has has difficulty getting up/down. His hind end seems smaller than his front & doesn't always put his right leg down. Last night I poked the muscle in that leg with my toe to get his attention & stop chewing his paw, he yelped loudly & jerked that leg away. His reaction to my nudge was extreme as I just touched him with my toe. He didn't seem to favor the leg after so I"m not sure what I could've hit to cause that reaction

I have a nine month old Labradoodle that will be getting neutered next month. His vet wants to do a preventative gastropexy at the same time as the neutering. He said while there is only a small chance my dog could ever bloat, he's seen 3 or 4 doodles with it. What are your thoughts on this? Also we are dreading the "cone of shame" for two weeks. The surgeon has said absolutely no substitutions like a soft pillow type collar or dog onesie that protects the surgical site. Thoughts? Thanks!

Found a 0.5 inch open lesion, dark or grey base, metallic smelling, likely necrotic lesion at base of older dogs tail. No hair loss, some drainage, not bloody. Not painful

My puppy is 55 lbs. at 4 1/2 months old and is approximately 25 in. to shoulder. My vet said at 6 mo. he should have his stomach tacked. He's also 1/2 Great Dane. Second opinion?
