Canine bone hyperplasia treated with combination traditional Chinese and western medicine
A 5-year-old Peking(mixed)dog showed crouching hind legs,inability to stand,and creeping forward.On palpation of the spine and right hind limb,the dog groaned with obvious pain,and there was no reflex to press the hind limb deeply,which was with urinary incontinence,yellow urine and normal bowel movements.The results of clinical examination,laboratory examination and special examination showed that the content of amylase and Ca2+were slightly lower than the normal value.The spine is clearly shining,indicating increased bone density,narrow and uneven space at the end of the thoracic vertebrae,obvious calcification in the T13 and L1 space,and osteophytes at the edge of the vertebral body.A comprehensive diagnosis of bone hyperplasia was made in the thoracic and lumbar space(T13 to L1).The traditional Chinese veterinarian found that the dog looked frightened,the tongue was white with the light fur,the pulse was floating and thin,and the limbs were cool because of liking to lie on the floor.The syndrome differentiation was interior asthenia and cold syndrome.The pain was relieved by symptomatic treatment of western medicine.The liver was tonified and tendons were generated by traditional Chinese medicine Yangjintang to warm meridians and dredge collaterals.Moxibustion activates Qi and activates blood circulation.The three methods were used cooperatively.After 30 days of continuous treatment,the dogs returned to normal and the prognosis was good.
