Hip dysplasia is a common and complex orthopedic condition that can cause pain and mobility issues in dogs, and less frequently in cats. This webinar is designed for pet owners who want to better understand how hip dysplasia progresses, what signs to watch for, and the treatment options available to improve their pet's comfort and mobility.
Join us on Wednesday, November 19, at 6PM ET on Zoom as Dr. Nathan Cherzan, Senior Veterinarian in Surgery, explains both the fundamentals and the latest approaches to managing hip dysplasia. Dr. Cherzan will discuss medical management as well as surgical options, including total hip replacement and femoral head and neck ostectomy. Register for this free webinar at the link below. Please email UsdanIn...@amcny.org with any questions. |

Honoring Veterinary Radiologists |
Did you know that x-rays were discovered in 1895? This breakthrough is considered one of the most significant advances in medicine. In this week's blog, Dr. Ann Hohenhaus explores how x-rays help us see inside our animal patients. |
Everyone, meet Trevi, a 10-month-old Australian Cobberdog. His owner writes: "He has a ton of energy, is a big chewer, and does not like to be alone. He has a bigger brother named Razzi, who is 12 years old. They play all the time. Trevi is very affectionate and loves to go in the car. We love our dogs and spoil them often!" If you would like to have your best friend featured in our newsletter, social media platforms, or website, please email us at UsdanIn...@amcny.organd include your pet's name, age, photo, and a brief message! |
