02141-A: Describing the Kinetic and Kinematic Recovery of Dachshunds with Spinal Cord Injury
Intervertebral disk herniation (IVDH) is common in dogs and results in injury by compressing and bruising the spinal cord. The most frequently affected breed is the Dachshund, with as many as 19% of Dachshunds developing IVDH. Effects of IVDH include paralysis, paresis, incontinence, reduced quality of life, and permanent neurological disabilities; these facets of injury […]
02139-A: Development of a Neuromusculoskeletal Computer Simulation Gait Model to Characterize Functional Recovery in Dogs with Intervertebral Disk Herniation
Intervertebral disk herniation (IVDH) leads to spinal cord injury (SCI) in dogs. The most commonly affected breed is the Dachshund, of which 19% develop IVDH. IVDH compresses the spinal cord and can lead to paralysis, incontinence, reduced quality of life, permanent neurological deficits and secondary conditions. Dogs that receive decompressive surgery (standard of care) and […]
02802: Clinical Trial of Prevotella histicola Supplementation to Ameliorate Meningoencephalomyelitis of Unknown Origin (MUO)
Meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown origin (MUO), also known by a number of other abbreviations such as MUE, MUA and, sometimes, GME (granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis), is the name given to a group of closely-related inflammatory diseases of the brain and spinal cord. These conditions are common, about 25% or more of the neurologic cases treated by veterinary neurologists, […]

02709: Identification of Genetic Risk Factors Contributing to Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders
Gastrointestinal motility disorders affect the nerves and muscles of the esophagus, stomach, and/or the intestines, causing digestive disturbances. Congenital idiopathic megaesophagus (CIM) is an esophageal motility disorder of dogs wherein contractility is reduced and leads to an enlargement of the esophagus. Affected puppies regurgitate after eating and survivors are susceptible to life-threatening complications. The highest […]
