Coffee With The Canapps Episode 3: Using MSK Ultrasound To Diagnose Forelimb Lameness On A Golden Retriever

by Sherman & Debra Canapp

In this episode, Drs. Sherman and Debra Canapp focus on the use of MSK ultrasound to diagnose a forelimb injury and discuss the rehabilitation program that follows. They will walk you through the case of a 7-month-old Golden Retriever with a three-month history of left forelimb lameness that began after he had been playing rough with another dog—what should be done when the young canine is unresponsive to rest and NSAIDs?  

Join the Canapps as they walk you through the process from the physical exam to diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up. This is followed by a 30-minute open Q&A session with questions about the case and other difficult cases submitted by veterinarians.
