• Classification of Intervertebral Disc Disease

  Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2020 · 129 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) has been recognized in dogs since the 1800s, when the first descriptions of extruded disc material within the vertebral canal were published. In the intervening time our understanding of intervertebral disc pathology in dogs and cats has increased dramatically, with many variations of IVDD described. Whilst the volume of literature and collective understanding of IVDD has expanded, there has also been scope for confusion as the definition of intervertebral disc…

• ACVIM consensus statement on diagnosis and management of acute canine thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion

  Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine · 2022 · 75 citations

  1st authorCorresponding

  BACKGROUND: Thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion (TL-IVDE) is the most common cause of acute paraparesis and paraplegia in dogs; however, guidelines on management of the condition are lacking. OBJECTIVES: To summarize the current literature as it relates to diagnosis and management of acute TL-IVDE in dogs, and to formulate clinically relevant evidence-based recommendations. ANIMALS: None. METHODS: A panel of 8 experts was convened to assess and summarize evidence from the peer-reviewed l…

• Prognostic Factors in Canine Acute Intervertebral Disc Disease

  Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2020 · 72 citations

  1st authorCorresponding

  Knowledge of the prognosis of acute spinal cord injury is critical to provide appropriate information for clients and make the best treatment choices. Acute intervertebral disc extrusions (IVDE) are a common cause of pain and paralysis in dogs with several types of IVDE occurring. Important prognostic considerations are recovery of ambulation, return of urinary and fecal continence, resolution of pain and, on the negative side, development of progressive myelomalacia. Initial injury severity aff…

• Current Approaches to the Management of Acute Thoracolumbar Disc Extrusion in Dogs

  Frontiers in Veterinary Science · 2020 · 64 citations

  Intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE) is one of the most common neurologic problems encountered in veterinary clinical practice. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide an overview of the literature related to treatment of acute canine thoracolumbar IVDE to help construct a framework for standard care of acute canine thoracolumbar IVDE where sufficient evidence exists and to highlight opportunities for future prospective veterinary clinical research useful to strengthen care recommendations…

• Intervertebral disc disease and aortic thromboembolism are the most common causes of acute paralysis in dogs and cats presenting to an emergency clinic

  Veterinary Record · 2020 · 44 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  BACKGROUND: Acute paralysis is a common presentation in small animal emergency clinics, but the aetiological prevalence has not been reported. Knowledge of diagnosis frequency aids prioritisation of differential diagnoses, facilitates resource planning and clinical trial design. METHODS: Medical records from NC State Veterinary Hospital Emergency Room were searched over a five-year period to identify cases presenting with acute non-ambulatory paraparesis or paralysis. Signalment and diagnosis ca…
