For a 6 year old black lab? Although a rather subjective exam, virtually any instability in the stifle joint in a cranial-caudal direction can be considered a positive test. Typically movement of greater than two millimeters is a positive test. The laxity should not increase appreciably with only increased age (i.e. any decreased function of cranial cruciate ligament is due to a disease process What other abnormalities, besides cranial cruciate ligament rupture, result in a positive cranial drawer test? Our investigation failed to associate any other disease processes commonly associated with a positive cranial drawer besides those involving the cranial cruciate ligament. Why is Bonnie obese given her diet and exercise history? The exact cause of BonnieТs obesity is unclear. She seems to get plenty of exercise and her raisin treats should not cause this problem either. Bonnie may have an underlying metabolic condition responsible for her excess weight, or it could be that four cups a day is simply too many calories for Bonnie. Is her diet appropriate? Again there is no clear answer. Labrador retrievers do seem to gain and excessive amount of weight as they grow older. After careful examination of BonnieТs metabolic rate and the lack of any disease process, BonnieТs diet should be changed to a reduced calorie food that will help her lose weight and help in the healing and rehabilitation of her injury. How much does Bonnie weigh? We were unable to come up with an answer to this question. Regardless of her exact weight, she weighs too much. Could there be an underlying metabolic disorder contributing to BonnieТs obesity? There are metabolic disorders that decrease metabolic rate. However, these conditions often also cause other symptoms which were not present in Bonnie upon physical examination. We are requesting a hormone assay for thyroid hormone so we are definitely not ruling this option out, however weТre also not relying on it as part of our definitive diagnosis. His hypothyroidism associated with OCD or any other orthopedic disease? Osteochondritis dissecans can be linked to most any hormonal disturbance because of its multifactoral and largely unknown etiology. However, there is no direct link between the two diseases. More often OCD is linked to hormone imbalances that cause increased growth rates, a suspected cause of osteochondrosis and subsequent OCD. However, if Bonnie has increased weight gain from hypothyroidism and has had subclinical osteochondrosis since her adolescence, the increased pressure from the excessive weight may have resulted in OCD and the pain-mediated lameness. h▌N·√5jЕь | ╬ ╧ 2 ~ ╢¤∙∙ў∙∙¤∙¤∙¤∙∙5Б5БCJCJgh▌▐MN·√45jkДЕы ь э { | ╬ ╧ 4 5 } ¤¤¤¤√¤¤¤∙∙¤¤√¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ўўўgh▌▐MN·√45jkДЕы ь э { | ╬ ╧ 4 5 } ~ ╢¤√√¤∙∙∙∙∙} ~ ╢¤¤░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ [4@ё 4NormalCJOJPJQJmH <A@Є б<Default Paragraph Font*B`Є* Body TextCJ2P`2 Body Text 25БCJ.Q`.
