Every year, Moscow’s state veterinary clinics receive about 250 thousand dogs. In the first half of this year, city residents came to see their dogs more than 139 thousand times, of which 32 thousand pets needed veterinary care for the first time.
On July 2, World Dog Day, specialists from state veterinary clinics talked about the specifics of working with man’s faithful friends and remembered the most interesting patients.
Little Ones and Giants
Muscovites increasingly prefer miniature dog breeds – this is a trend of recent years. Today, veterinarians unanimously call Yorkshire terriers the most popular breed – these dogs are encountered more often than others at receptions in state veterinary clinics. Chihuahuas, French bulldogs, Spitz and corgis are slightly inferior to Yorkies in numbers, but are also common in the capital.
Among the frequent guests of veterinary clinics are also toy terriers, pugs, spitz and Jack Russell terriers, which confirms the steady interest in compact and active breeds. But rare patients of the capital’s veterinarians include French spaniels, Tyrolean hounds, Czech fouseks, Swedish vallhunds and Swiss laufhunds.
The smallest Yorkie weighing 500 grams was registered at the Krasnogvardeyskaya Veterinary Clinic, and a Chihuahua that fit in the owner’s palm was treated at Kuntsevskaya. Among the largest breeds, pets weighing from 75 to 120 kilograms were seen at the veterinarian’s office – a Spanish water dog, a Caucasian shepherd, a Leonberger and an Alabai. The record belongs to a patient at the Butovskaya Veterinary Clinic – a Tibetan mastiff named Orlando, who weighs more than 120 kilograms.
Seasoned and biting
The most “biting monsters” who are ready to eat the vet at the appointment are among miniature dog breeds. Toy terriers are the top dog, and Chihuahuas, griffons, Pomeranians and Yorkies are also among the most toothy patients.
Labradors behave ideally in the veterinarian’s office – they are the most docile and obedient patients. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bichon Frise, Sennenhund and Bulldog breeds calmly visit the veterinary clinic.
The Zelenograd veterinary clinic recently accepted an English bulldog with a truly British character – the dog was able to remove a skin lesion under local anesthesia, and the patient not only did not worry, but also continued to play calmly with the paramedic.
The most common diseases
Most often, pets are brought to Moscow state veterinary clinics with complaints of digestive system problems, gastroenteritis, enterocolitis. Also among the most common ailments in dogs are diseases of the urinary and cardiovascular systems.
In miniature breeds, cardiologists often note mitral valve endocardiosis and cardiomyopathy. As a rule, dogs are brought to surgeons, orthopedists and traumatologists with orthopedic diseases, lameness of various etiologies, luxation of the patella, and also with tumors.
Veterinarians also cite dental problems, kennel cough, and atopic dermatitis as common diseases in dogs.
Complex cases
In Moscow state veterinary clinics, dogs undergo operations of any degree of complexity – dental, oncological, ophthalmological, on the musculoskeletal system and many others.
Recently, a four-year-old dog was operated on at the Zelenograd veterinary clinic. Due to numerous cesarean sections, she developed adhesive disease. A planned sterilization turned into a difficult case – surgeon Nadezhda Kuzina with great difficulty separated the uterus and ovaries from other organs, including the intestines, bladder and peritoneum. After the operation, the calm and leisurely patient turned into a lively dog, became super active, cheerful, which greatly surprised the owners. It turned out that adhesions were pulling everything inside and preventing her from moving.
Pavel Artamonov, a trauma surgeon at the Krasnogvardeyskaya Veterinary Clinic, encountered a unique case when removing a poodle’s spleen. The weight of the removed organ, together with the tumor, was five kilograms, meaning that the 16-kilogram patient “lost weight” to 11 kilograms after the operation.
The same veterinary clinic told of an almost unbelievable case of healing a 10-year-old Yorkie. The dog was picked up on the street. In addition to a tumor of the uterus and ovaries, she had multiple hernias and a prolapsed bladder into the hernial sac. During the operation, the patient’s heart stopped four times, and there was also swelling of the brain stem. Surgeon Ekaterina Baranova and a team of specialists had to perform resuscitation four times. As a result, the dog’s condition was stabilized and within a week after the operation, she fully recovered.
