Vet Reacts To An Episode of Vet Ranch

#vetranch #vet #veterinary
Hey team! You probably know about the youtube channel ‪@VetRanch‬ . I came across this particular episode which jumped out at me because 1) the dog (Bonnie) in the thumbnail is adorable, and 2) she has a neurologic problem! In this video I react to her initial evaluation and symptoms, her x-ray, and talk about the disease she has (hint - its not a disc herniation or seizures).
I also took some time to talk about a neck brace for dogs that I'm a fan of and which I am going to start using in my own practice - the Balto brace. If you think your pet may benefit from a brace of some kind, here is the link to their website:

Love Vet Ranch! Been watching for years!!! They've saved so many! Dr. Carrie has taken over from Dr. Matt, and she is doing an amazing job! You should reach out and see if you can collab on some cases! 💙

[@DVMCellini]

would love to!

[@rickseiden1]

@@DVMCellini If you're in Texas, they probably would love to have a neuro vet they can call on when they need it, like with Bonnie.

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

I love Dr. Karri! (I also find Dr. Dave easy on the eyes!)

[@Pauleysteph]

We adopted Gingerbread and have watched Vet Ranch for years. Absolutely, love their channel.

[@sjbock]

The Vet Ranch clinic is located in Greenville, Texas (north east Texas).

[@jenniferdixon9707]

This was very informative & interesting. I have followed Vet Ranch from the very beginning and realize that docs don't always include the detailed explanation that you did. Maybe you could add your expertise to a few more of their interesting cases? That would be awesome!

[@DVMCellini]

i love the channel so i think i probably will

[@rickseiden1]

So often when someone posts a react video they are picking it apart instead of explaining it. You pointed out some things you might do different, but I got the impression that how Bonnie was being treated was exactly how a general vet should treat a case like this when there isn't money for surgery.

[@DVMCellini]

Exactly what I was trying to convey!

[@cperhala8843]

I love watching Vet Ranch and was afraid you were going to bash them. Thank you for going more in depth of Bonnie's issues, and agreeing with the diagnosis and treatment. As with most professions, Vet Ranch does great with middle of the road conditions. Hats off to Dr. Dave for diagnosing and treating this once in a career condition. I like to watch KZbin videos during lunch. Today was my first time yours came up. I'll have to look for yours again!

[@DVMCellini]

Never gonna bash vet ranch on this channel. They do too much good.

[@hanlinsong2253]

So proud of Vet Ranch and that you can react to their videos. I’m proud because all these vets were from my vet school classmates. Really hope that you guys could collaborate someday 😍😍😍

[@Fluteperson01]

Hey dr C, ICU technician here. Can I send some questions over for us ER and ICU technicians for common neuro problems and best practices? Such as tips and tricks for Hemi lam care, IVDD care and your must haves and must do’s for any and all neuro cases? As you know here in ICU and ER we see neuro babies everyday and some of us don’t have a neurologist on staff

[@DVMCellini]

Sure yeah. I may make a video out of it :)

[@Fluteperson01]

Awesome 😎

[@amberrider7275]

I’m also a fan of Vet Ranch! I wish KZbin would let them show the surgeries they do but KZbin doesn’t like blood, even if it’s educational. Bernie is so cute and I agree Bonnie is too. My husband and i’s first dog was a wired hair dachshund Shih Tzu mix (humane society’s best guess lol) and she had that same super cute wired hair look!

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

As a Patreon supporter of Vet Ranch, you can see the videos complete with procedures.

[@angeljohnson234]

This was very interesting. My dog was recently diagnosed with cervical problems and cognitive canine disease. The neurologist recommended treatment at a physical rehab facility. I am going to ask her if it would be helpful to get one of these collars. No matter what she says, I like content like this.

[@noeljohnson3918]

I think the popularity for Vet Ranch has to do with their rescue program. They do a lot of fundraising to take care of discarded animals.

[@michellevazquez1203]

Love vet Ranch && Dr. Dave is awesome! Applause to Bernie for being a test doggie ❤️ We appreciate it his hard work!!!🏵️

[@drunkenbum3172]

I'm not sure I've seen a video that explained in-depth medical issues as clearly and as easy to understand as this one did. Very well done.

[@DVMCellini]

Thank you!

[@coles5243]

Omg; she reminds me of my Mitchell! A chihuahua mix I rescued from my local animal shelter. The best $10 I’ve spent!!

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

Love, love, LOVE Vet Ranch! I am so happy to hear you validate everything they say. I can't tell you how many times their videos have made me cry--even on 2nd or 3rd viewing! I now prefer your channel 100% over your brother's! (Also, I have been encouraging everyone in the yarn community to make pet sweaters and blankets to donate to pet rescue organizations. I hope your viewers will do the same!)

[@lindanorris2455]

WOW! DR. CELLINI 2 MINUTES AND YOU ARE EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED. I LOVE IT!

[@DVMCellini]

I....wasn't?

[@ericachiu2646]

Typically I would want to rule out neck pain on a physical exam by bringing the neck through a full range of motion. However, it seems like you could actually worsen the condition by doing so?

[@DVMCellini]

Yeah in tiny dogs I never ventro-flex for this reason.

[@SpottedQ]

Have you reacted/watched The Supervet? Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick? Curious about your thoughts on his specialized practice and the work he does.

[@maryellencook9528]

I agree with the comment below. I hope that you reached out to Dr. Dave at Hondo Vet Clinic. If you are unaware, Hondo is a ranching town west of San Antonio,TX. Ii am sure that Dr. Dave, Dr. Karrie and Dr. Judd would be grateful for your expertise. Dr. Matt Carriker from Boerne, TX started Vet Ranch with his dad, Dr. Lee, and turned the channel over to his friends from Texas A&M Vet School. Gig 'em Aggies!👍 Thank you for acknowledging this great channel.

[@DVMCellini]

I have not, but I'm also unsure how to reach him? Not sure I want to bother the clinic phone number lol.

[@maryellencook9528]

@@DVMCellini check the contact info at the end of the Vet Ranch Roundup or Vet Ranch videos. I would think that Dr. Dave in Hondo wouldn't mind a direct call to his clinic, especially if you have access to a better collar for Bonnie. Matt Carriker bought the Boerne practice from his father, and now his sister and sister-in-law run it. Matt is an entrepenuer and has his irons in many fires, but all of the Carrikers, Dr. Dave, and Drs. Karrie and Judd have the animals' best interest at heart. Any help that you can offer will be deeply appreciated, I am sure.

[@sjbock]

@@maryellencook9528 Drs. Judd and Karri McCreary own Greenville Animal Hospital in Greenville, Texas which is about 50 miles northeast of Dallas. Anyone who wants the phone # can Google the name of the clinic for their website.

[@MSUSpartansRock]

BAR... standard vet abbreviation unofficially official? When I was doing anesthesia clerkship for my BS-LVT program I had to do intubation/extubation a couple times on a chihuahua puppy that had some neuro deficits and was getting radiographs done. The radiologist didn't want the ET tube in the way. Turned out this puppy had same thing, AA sublux. I was monitoring it while still under and the anesthesiologist came running in asking me if the tube was in.. was it in right/etc? It was, puppy was doing fine. This poor little guy had a pretty bad sublux.

[@Fluteperson01]

We had one similar poor thing was ataxic and we thought toxin, aa subluxation was found on rads

[@comesahorseman]

Thanks! I'd never seen this condition before.

Thanks 👍

[@avigialgrossman6501]

[@DVMCellini]

Me too!

[@BritBit89]

Another great informative video! If you do another video like this, I would love to see you discuss the topic of syringomyelia and the chiari-like malformation in dogs. I think a neurologist’s insight on this subject would make an interesting video!

[@leahshalek6144]

Vet Ranch is on my "must see" list each week. I've been watching for years. It's wonderful and the people are so kind and caring. Funny too, sometimes.

[@Ashfleigh]

We learned about this in 1st year neuro but it was only like one slide, so it's interesting to see a whole case example and learn more about it. I didn't know about the neck brace solution, and I also didn't realize scar tissue formed in areas of luxation in general (so far we've only talked about fibrosis as a repair process to replace damaged tissue and whatnot)

[@sherrydawson6253]

Very educational. I always enjoy and learn from your videos. In this condition is the brace a life long solution? Like surgery would not fix the problem? It was amazing to see the difference in the dog after brace was put on. Cute little dog. Thank u for the education!

[@DVMCellini]

The brace usually stays on for a couple months, until the body creates enough scar tissue to stabilize the joint. After that the brace usually comes off but if they have a lot of relapses and surgery isn't an option, it may need to be a lifelong thing.

[@sherrydawson6253]

Hey great video,I'm so hopeful for Bonnie what a little cutie hope she does well.Thanks for explaining all of this I found it very interesting !👍🙂

[@mandymorrow5473]

It kind of sounds like Spina Bifida in the neck. (For anyone reading this who don't know what that is, it's a neural tube birth defect where at some point in the womb a section of spine doesn't form and the nerves are damaged, in my case it was in the lower part around L3/L4 or L4/L5.)

[@bobbydeeznutz4904]

You should make more of these videos. I was considering doing the chiropractor but now questioning it. Obviously, ill do my research from both sides. My boxers has started to turn his hind legs and drags them. He's been crossing his legs and today caught him standing on the top of he foot. He eats normal, and still has energy. He has control his urine and feces. Unfortunately, I hit a financial wall at the moment, and haven't been able to take him to the vet.(which makes me feel bad)

[@ebybeehoney]

My favorite kind of dog is one that look at and think "I'm not sure what the mix is, might be this or that." But it doesn't look like a specific breed - like ALL the others out there. My dogs have been so varied. None look like anything else I've seen.

[@ebybeehoney]

Your dog is exactly the kind I'm talking about!!
