3098. A 9-year-old Maltese has a gigantic perineal hernia. Mesh implant.

Consulted 3 vets. Too large a hernia for perineal herniorraphy. Mesh implant was done by me. Owner advised to return for neuter 3 weeks later. It is safer not to prolong anaesthesia by doing the neuter in one surgery as the owner will never forget or refer her friends to the vet if the dog passes away on the operating table. Neutered dogs rarely suffer from perineal hernias and hence neutering is advised. Some vets do neuter at the same time.

3097. A male dwarf hamster urine marks causing itchy lower body.

July 13, 2017

PUDDING, male, dwarf hamster, born June 2016. 

Today, the young man consulted me and said: "My hamster still has an itchy armpit after you had operated on her left elbow wart 5 weeks ago!"  I was surprised and got my assistant to video the new medical condition.

"5 weeks ago, I removed the left elbow wart which was 2 mm across," I said. "There was no elbow problem."

The hamster squealed twice as I examined the sore right armpit using a small torch-light.
"It is the right armpit," my assistant pointed out.. "The wart was on the left elbow!"

A rough red inflamed patch of loose skin around 4mm x 4mm was present on the right elbow. So this was a new condition.
