This is a follow-up to the video about the dog with "trauma" showing most of this dog's examination by Dr. Westcott. You'll see something that a dog normally shouldn't do when Dr. Westcott performs his exam.
The video shows a consultation between a pet owner and Dr. Alastair Westcott, a veterinarian at i-Care Veterinary Hospital, regarding the pet's unusual behaviours and potential health issues.
The pet owner notices the dog's anxiety, nocturnal restlessness, and physical symptoms like weight loss and abnormal movement patterns. Dr. Westcott suggests that these signs could indicate a mix of physiological and psychological issues, emphasizing the importance of ruling out physical health problems first.
Dr. Westcott discusses the possibility of spinal degeneration affecting the dog's proprioceptive pathway, which helps maintain balance and spatial orientation. Dr. Westcott recommends further diagnostic tests, including blood work and spinal imaging, to pinpoint the underlying cause of the dog's symptoms.
