  3. 0:54Finally, in your hands of neurological
  4. 0:57examination, You are checking gate.
  5. 1:00Okay. When you observe the gate, look
  6. 1:04for two things. Atexia or paresis or
  7. 1:07plegia. A taxia is you can have three
  8. 1:12types of atexia. Sensory atexia,
  9. 1:15cerebellaraxas
  10. 1:16or vestibular attackas. And then in your
  11. 1:20paresis and your Now what's paresis and
  12. 1:23what's pleia? Paresis means there is you
  13. 1:28know a reduction in the voluntary
  14. 1:30movement of your limbs. Whereas plegia
  15. 1:33is a complete loss of voluntary
  16. 1:36movement. So your paresis or plegia can
  17. 1:40be mono affecting one limb. It can be
  18. 1:42para affecting both for limbs or both
  19. 1:46hind limbs. It can be hemi meaning that
  20. 1:49it can be on the right side or the left
  21. 1:50side or it can be tetra
  22. 1:53affecting all four limbs. So when you
  23. 1:56look at the gate look if there is a
  24. 1:59taxia or look if there is paresis or
  25. 2:02pleia. Okay. So for example if you
  26. 2:05observe this video can you tell me what
  27. 2:08type of an atexia this is?
  28. 2:25I notice notice the hind limbs. Suddenly
  29. 2:28there is a loss of voluntary movement of
  30. 2:30the hind limb and he still attempts to
  31. 2:33move.
  32. 2:35So this is like a very obvious ataxia if
  33. 2:38you pay attention to how the hind limbs
  34. 2:40are moving.
  35. 2:42Sensory Sensory.
  36. 2:44Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Yes,
  37. 2:47this is a sensory or propriceptive
  38. 2:50ataxia. There is a taxia because the
  39. 2:53legs are not able to propriceptively
  40. 2:56function. So, this is a propriceptive
  41. 2:58atexia.
  42. 3:01Please look at this video and tell me
  43. 3:04what type of anaxia this could be.
  44. 3:07So here we have a kitten
  45. 3:11that is attempting to move little bit of
  46. 3:15a of like a an intentional tremor over
  47. 3:19there. See that there? And then he
  48. 3:22attempts to move forward
  49. 3:27but slightly wobbly and incoordinated.
  50. 3:36atexia.
  51. 3:39This is cerebellar at taxexia.
  52. 3:42Fantastic. Yes, this is a cerebellar at
  53. 3:45taxia. Not very very clear over here.
  54. 3:47It's very sub subtle, but if you are
  55. 3:49able to pick up a cerebellar at taxia
  56. 3:52here, seriously well done. Very well
  57. 3:54done.
  58. 3:56Here you'll be able to see a very
  59. 3:58obvious atexia.
  60. 4:00And this whoever sat the previous
  61. 4:02lecture will know for certain what type
  62. 4:04of an atexia this is.
  63. 4:08So just observe the video very closely.
  64. 4:13Let's try and put the pet down. There we
  65. 4:16go. There we go.
  66. 4:20So here notice the legs are so
  67. 4:24incoordinated
  68. 4:27and then you have there we go
  69. 4:30incoordinated gate
  70. 4:33a little bit of hypertria in the for
  71. 4:36limbs. See there how the limbs lift up
  72. 4:38and walk.
  73. 4:43And then you'll also see over here
  74. 4:52intentional tremors.
  75. 4:55There we go. There. There. There we go.
  76. 4:58Those are intentional tremors. So you
  77. 5:01see intentional tremors. You see an
  78. 5:03incoordinated gate. You see hypometric
  79. 5:07forlims.
  80. 5:09Can you see the phone?
  81. 5:13No, this is cerebral.
  82. 5:15Brilliant. Yes. So, this is a classic
  83. 5:19beautiful like very very obvious
  84. 5:22cerebellar attack at taxia. So, how do
  85. 5:25you know if this is cerebellar atexia?
  86. 5:27Look for intentional tremors. Look for
  87. 5:30an incoordinated gate. There won't be
  88. 5:32any coordination with how the front
  89. 5:34limbs and the hind limbs are moving. See
  90. 5:36that? So random, right? Incoordinated
  91. 5:39gate and hypertria. So not see that. See
  92. 5:44the see how exaggeratedly lifted the
  93. 5:47pet's forlims are when he attempts to
  94. 5:50walk. There we go. So hypometric
  95. 5:54gate, hypometria,
  96. 5:56sens uh intentional tremors and
  97. 5:59incoordinated gate all point towards a
  98. 6:02cerebellar atexia.
  99. 6:05What type of an atexia could this be?
  100. 6:12So the pet
  101. 6:14here has sort of like a drunk walk. Uh
  102. 6:20not a not able to maintain balance.
  103. 6:29Very good. This is a vestibular atexia.
  104. 6:33unable to maintain its equilibrium.
  105. 6:36Yeah, very good. Yes, unable to maintain
  106. 6:39equilibrium. So, basically in very
  107. 6:41simple terms, when you see a pet walk
  108. 6:44like he's drunk, it's a vestibular
  109. 6:46atexia.
  110. 6:49Okay.
  111. 6:51What do you think is happening here? Is
  112. 6:54the pet pariticlegic?
  113. 6:57What type of anaxia could this be?
  114. 7:00Sorry, second. Yeah, there we go.
  115. 7:04There we go.
  116. 7:08So again, um can anyone tell me what is
  117. 7:12the mistake I am doing here?
  118. 7:16Slippery flow.
  119. 7:18Exactly. So do not do this. Okay. Don't
  120. 7:21assess patients on slippery flows.
  121. 7:34Okay. So, this pet attempts to walk very
  122. 7:36well with the four limbs. Notice the
  123. 7:39back legs.
  124. 7:41Suddenly, there's loss of strength
  125. 7:47and there's a bit of paresis on the
  126. 7:51left hind limb. So, what's happening
  127. 7:54over here? How would you describe the
  128. 7:55gate?
  129. 7:57drop
  130. 7:58looks like sensory.
  131. 8:00Sorry.
  132. 8:04This looks like sensory at taxexia plus
  133. 8:06der d des dereelate rigidity.
  134. 8:09Okay. Okay. So, uh bear in mind d
  135. 8:13cerebellate rigid cases they can't walk
  136. 8:15with the forlims.
  137. 8:18Okay. They are like they're very rigid
  138. 8:20on the for limbs. So if you would have
  139. 8:22said ship sharington maybe but here
  140. 8:25definitely no deserebate rigidity. So
  141. 8:28how would I describe this? I would say
  142. 8:30this pet has propraceptive ataxia with
  143. 8:33paraparesis of the hind limbs.
  144. 8:36Okay. So there is paraparesis of the
  145. 8:39hind limbs. He's paritic. He's
  146. 8:41definitely not plegic. He can still
  147. 8:43voluntary move his legs but it is weak.
  148. 8:46So you see here
  149. 8:58so he's able to move forward.
  150. 9:02Okay. But the back legs
  151. 9:07they lose strength and function.
  152. 9:12And you'll notice both the hind limbs he
  153. 9:14is paraparetic. The left is worse than
  154. 9:17the right. And this is how you would
  155. 9:19describe his gate in your neurological
  156. 9:22report.
  157. 9:25How would you describe this gate?
  158. 9:36paraplegic.
  159. 9:41Notice how the left leg has some
  160. 9:43movement
  161. 9:47but the left leg is also weak.
  162. 9:52Hind limbs are totally criss-crossing.
  163. 9:55Good. Yes. How would you describe that
  164. 9:57gate?
  165. 9:59Paraplegic.
  166. 10:01Parapleic.
  167. 10:02Okay. But there's some, if you notice,
  168. 10:04there's still a little bit of function
  169. 10:06on the back leg.
  170. 10:11So, see the left support
  171. 10:15unable to support his body. Yes.
  172. 10:19Okay.
  173. 10:20Left hand leg.
  174. 10:22Very good. Yes. Yes.
  175. 10:26That's right. It's per the pet is
  176. 10:28peritic. So here I would describe this
  177. 10:31as the pet uh as as so he needs support,
  178. 10:34right? So he's not ambulatory on his
  179. 10:37own. So if you want to sound a little
  180. 10:40bit more fancy, you can say
  181. 10:42non-ambulatory
  182. 10:44paraparesis of the hind limbs.
  183. 10:48And here you can say the right is worse
  184. 10:50than the left. So non-ambulatory
  185. 10:53paraparesis of the hind limbs. If the
  186. 10:56pet is ambulatory like for example in
  187. 10:58this video you can say ambulatory
  188. 11:01paraparesis of the hind limbs but here
  189. 11:04it is non-ambulatory paraparesis of the
  190. 11:08hind limbs.
  191. 11:11How would you describe this gate?
  192. 11:21Paraplegia
  193. 11:23paralysis paraplegia
  194. 11:27nonambulatory
  195. 11:29paraplegia the highs.
  196. 11:31Brilliant. Yes. Yes. That's the most
  197. 11:34perfect way to describe this video. The
  198. 11:36pet has non-ambulatory paraplegia of the
  199. 11:39hind limbs. Very good.
  200. 11:44How would you location?
  201. 11:47Where is the location for previous
  202. 11:50video?
  203. 11:52Can you can you tell the location
  204. 11:54location of uh
  205. 11:56non-ambulatory paraparasis and
  206. 11:58non-ambulatory paraplegia?
  207. 12:02Okay. How would you describe this?
  208. 12:24terribel.
  209. 12:30How would you describe this gate?
  210. 12:35No. Watch the whole video.
  211. 12:39And you'll see parts where the pet
  212. 12:42cannot fully bear weight on the back
  213. 12:44legs.
  214. 12:47See that? There we go.
  215. 12:53Arthrosis of ambulatory parapasis.
  216. 12:58What type of an attackia is this?
  217. 13:02Ambulatory
  218. 13:05or taxia.
  219. 13:10This is sensory taxia. Ambulatory
  220. 13:12paraparis.
  221. 13:12Brilliant.
  222. 13:14Brilliant. This is a sensory atexia with
  223. 13:17ambulatory paraparesis of the hind lips.
  224. 13:20Okay. So this is how you need to
  225. 13:21describe the gate. Is there an atexia?
  226. 13:24Describe the atexia and then describe
  227. 13:27the gate neurologically with
  228. 13:29neurological terms. This is an
  229. 13:31ambulatory paraparetic pet.
  230. 13:36Okay. So this table helps you actually
  231. 13:40um further neuroloize and summarize your
  232. 13:44learning. So for example if you have a
  233. 13:48lesion in the forbrain you may have so
  234. 13:52if you will have contraateral
  235. 13:54hemiparesis or conscious propreceptive
  236. 13:57deficits. Okay, meaning if you have a
  237. 13:59lesion in the right side, your CP and
  238. 14:02postural reaction will all be deficit on
  239. 14:05the opposite side which is the left
  240. 14:07side. Now the gate in forbrain cases are
  241. 14:10mostly normal. It is rare to see atexia
  242. 14:14in forbrain cases. The behavior is
  243. 14:17changed.
  244. 14:19The consciousness may vary anywhere from
  245. 14:22octandid to coma. the spinal reflexes
  246. 14:25are intact and you may see other
  247. 14:28neurological or non-neurological issues.
  248. 14:31Okay, your brain stem produces
  249. 14:36postural reaction deficits or CP
  250. 14:38deficits on the same side. So if it's on
  251. 14:41the right side, it will be on the right
  252. 14:42side only, not like the forebrain where
  253. 14:44it's the opposite side. Your gate will
  254. 14:47have a sensory atexia specifically with
  255. 14:51upper motor neuron signs. The next
  256. 14:53lecture will explain to you what these
  257. 14:55upper motor neuron signs are. The
  258. 14:57behavior is not changed. The
  259. 15:00consciousness may be severely affected.
  260. 15:02If the aras part of the brain stem is
  261. 15:05affected, the spinal reflexes are
  262. 15:08intact. You may see other neurological
  263. 15:13neurological issues. Okay? Like for
  264. 15:15example, there may be a change in the
  265. 15:17heart rate, BP, respiratory rate and
  266. 15:20rhythm. You may see cranial nerve
  267. 15:22deficits. Cerebellum also it produces
  268. 15:26same side deficits but bear in mind no
  269. 15:30paricesis. Cerebellaraxias
  270. 15:33they often present with a hypertric
  271. 15:35gate. So the gate has a cerebellaraxic
  272. 15:39gate. No change in behavior. No change
  273. 15:42in consciousness. Very important. And
  274. 15:45your spinal reflex is intact. And there
  275. 15:49you may have other neurological or
  276. 15:51non-neurological issues. Okay. So with
  277. 15:55your handsoff neurological exam, this
  278. 15:58table helps you summarize from your
  279. 16:00hands off neuroindings where the lesion
  280. 16:04could be
  281. 16:06[Music]
  282. 16:17Heat. Heat.
  283. 16:48So you finished your hands off
  284. 16:50neurological exam. Now you go on to the
  285. 16:53hands on neurological examination.
  286. 16:57Your hands on neurological exam. It
  287. 17:00consists of checking five of these
  288. 17:04parameters. postural reaction, cranial
  289. 17:07nerves, thoracic reflex, pelvic reflex
  290. 17:11and other reflexes.
  291. 17:13But for today we will only touch on the
  292. 17:16postural reactions, cranial nerve,
  293. 17:19thoracic reflex, pelvic reflex and other
  294. 17:22reflexes. It will be part two of the
  295. 17:25neurological examination.
  296. 17:28So postural reaction
  297. 17:30please remember in your hands-on
  298. 17:33neuroexam when you check your postural
  299. 17:36reaction it is a non-specific test. It
  300. 17:39is merely a screening test to tell you
  301. 17:43if the pet is neurological or not. It is
  302. 17:46a screening test to tell you if there
  303. 17:48are abnormalities in the nervous system.
  304. 17:51It does not tell you where. Okay. So for
  305. 17:55example, if you have a problem in the
  306. 17:57forebrain, it will produce opposite
  307. 18:00postural reaction deficits. If it is in
  308. 18:03the brain stem, it will prod
  309. 18:07postural reaction deficits. If it's in
  310. 18:09the cerebellum
  311. 18:11and throughout the spinal cord, you will
  312. 18:14have same sight postural reaction
  313. 18:16deficits.
  314. 18:19Now if the pro but when you do your
  315. 18:21postural reaction to some extent you can
  316. 18:25gauge where the problem could be. Okay.
  317. 18:28So forbrain will produce contraateral PR
  318. 18:31deficits. Brain stem will produce same
  319. 18:33site. If your problem is at C1 to C5 all
  320. 18:37four limbs will be affected. If your
  321. 18:40problem is at T3 to L3 L4 to S3 only
  322. 18:45pelvic limbs are affected. So to some
  323. 18:47extent your postural reactions may tell
  324. 18:50you where the problem could be. Now
  325. 18:52these are all the postural reaction
  326. 18:55tests that you can perform. Conscious
  327. 18:59propreception CP basically in short
  328. 19:02terms hopping wheelbarrow hemi stand
  329. 19:06hemi walk extensor postural thrust
  330. 19:10visual placement tactile placement. So
  331. 19:13these are all postural reaction tests.
  332. 19:16Meaning that you are you are putting the
  333. 19:18pet in abnormal postures to see if the
  334. 19:22nervous system corrects the abnormal
  335. 19:24posture. That's all. That's why it's
  336. 19:26called postural reaction. Where in the
  337. 19:29nervous system is the problem that you
  338. 19:31cannot tell just by checking postural
  339. 19:33reactions. Okay. Now conscious
  340. 19:36propreception. Is the pet conscious when
  341. 19:40you put the paw in an abnormal position?
  342. 19:45So see when you flip it abnormally the
  343. 19:47pet consciously places it back. Now
  344. 19:51notice with
  345. 19:59this leg there is a delay.
  346. 20:12Okay. And always bear in mind when you
  347. 20:14are checking the hind limbs, you must
  348. 20:17support the abdomen. When you're
  349. 20:19checking the for limbs, you must support
  350. 20:21the chest. Okay. And you should just
  351. 20:24support. You shouldn't lift the pet up.
  352. 20:27So notice the difference in the
  353. 20:28conscious propreception between the
  354. 20:30right leg and the left leg.
  355. 20:55delayed in the right leg.
  356. 20:59Exactly. So here we have a delayed
  357. 21:02conscious propressive in the right leg.
  358. 21:07Now observe hopping. Notice how Lahonta
  359. 21:12he does hopping a little differently in
  360. 21:14cats compared to dogs. Now checking
  361. 21:17postural reaction in cats can be
  362. 21:19incredibly frustrating because they
  363. 21:22don't cooperate and sometimes they like
  364. 21:24to roll over and so they give you a
  365. 21:27false uh presentation that postural
  366. 21:30reaction is abnormal. So when you hop a
  367. 21:33pet, make sure you lift and hop them.
  368. 21:36Lift, hop.
  369. 21:38Lift hop. Lift hop. So that's how you're
  370. 21:42supposed to hop cats. Okay. This is a
  371. 21:45wheelbarrow.
  372. 21:47So this is wheelbarrow.
  373. 21:50This is another way you can wheelbarrow
  374. 21:52cats.
  375. 21:53See that?
  376. 21:55So there is no wheelbarrow.
  377. 21:58So you notice hopping and wheelbarrow in
  378. 22:00cats is done here.
  379. 22:03So there we go. Hopping.
  380. 22:12And then there's wheelbarrow.
  381. 22:27Okay. So that's hopping and wheelbarrow
  382. 22:30in cats.
  383. 22:32Here you can see a clear hopping video
  384. 22:34in a dog. Now remember the side you want
  385. 22:38to hop the pet. That is the side you
  386. 22:41will support the pet's abdomen and hawk
  387. 22:44them by lifting the opposite leg. Okay,
  388. 22:48there we go. Like that. That's how
  389. 22:49you're supposed to hop your patient.
  390. 22:52Support from the same side and hop the
  391. 22:55same limb.
  392. 22:58Now this is
  393. 23:00another way you can hop your patient by
  394. 23:03testing the leg alone.
  395. 23:08This is a hemi walk. Notice he's only
  396. 23:12walking the right side.
  397. 23:15So here you can see hopping and a hemi
  398. 23:18walk.
  399. 23:21Okay. So that is hopping.
  400. 23:24[Music]
  401. 23:26Then he's coping the patient.
  402. 23:32Hopping just the singular limb.
  403. 23:38And here you have a hemi walk.
  404. 23:46Okay. So this is how you check postural
  405. 23:48reactions.
  406. 23:50This is a wheelbarrow. So this is how
  407. 23:53you wheelbarrow your patient. Now let's
  408. 23:56say there is a resistance in your
  409. 23:58wheelbarrow or the patient is not able
  410. 24:00to wheelbarrow. You're in the four
  411. 24:03limbs. Your neuroloization is cranial
  412. 24:07part of the cervical spinal cord or
  413. 24:11further cranially up to the forbrain.
  414. 24:14That's your neuroloization.
  415. 24:16If you are resistant in your wheelbarrow
  416. 24:20or the pet is not able to wheelbarrow
  417. 24:22with a poor limbs, your neuroloization
  418. 24:25is anywhere from cranial cervical spinal
  419. 24:28cord forward to the brain stem to the
  420. 24:31brain sorry. So this is how you wheel
  421. 24:34barrow.
  422. 24:42Okay,
  423. 24:49this is an extensor postural thrust. You
  424. 24:53will lift the pet's hind limbs, place it
  425. 24:55on the ground, and the pet should
  426. 24:57correct the hind limbs properly for
  427. 24:59balance.
  428. 25:01That's an extensive postural thrust.
  429. 25:08This is visual placement. Okay, this is
  430. 25:11tactile placement. Okay, tactile
  431. 25:14placement is where you completely remove
  432. 25:17the visual field. That is by blinding
  433. 25:20the pet and then you get the pet to
  434. 25:24place the paw based on tactile stimuli.
  435. 25:28That is by helping the pet feel the paws
  436. 25:31against the edge of a surface to
  437. 25:33initiate movement. So this is tactile
  438. 25:36placement. Now remove the visual stimuli
  439. 25:39the visual obstruction and allow the pet
  440. 25:42to see the object and place the paw
  441. 25:46accordingly and that is visual
  442. 25:48placement. So tactile placement here is
  443. 25:51no sight and here just by using sensory
  444. 25:56stimuli of placing the paw against the
  445. 25:58edge of the table there is a response
  446. 26:00there is conscious placement of paws.
  447. 26:06Okay, that is tactile placement. You are
  448. 26:09removing the visual stimuli. Now when
  449. 26:12you remove the obstruction and the pet
  450. 26:15is able to see the surface and the
  451. 26:19placement of the paw on that tests the
  452. 26:22visual pathway and its coordination with
  453. 26:25the four limbs.
  454. 26:29I'll get this video to play. So now when
  455. 26:33you
  456. 26:35have a large dog, how will you test the
  457. 26:38visual and tactile placement? You
  458. 26:41obviously cannot carry a 50 kilo dog,
  459. 26:43right? And you can't put them against
  460. 26:46the table this way. You can do this for
  461. 26:48medium-sized dogs, small dogs, and cats.
  462. 26:51How would you check your visual
  463. 26:52placement and tactile placement in a
  464. 26:55very large dog?
  465. 26:58Maybe by placing a stepper. by placing
  466. 27:00obstacles
  467. 27:02on the ground.
  468. 27:03Brilliant. Yes, absolutely. So, you take
  469. 27:06the pet to the staircase and you allow
  470. 27:09the stairs to become a uh basically a
  471. 27:12stimuli for um initiating visual or
  472. 27:15tactile placement.
  473. 27:18[Music]
  474. 27:42Heat. Heat.
  475. 28:00Next lecture which is part two I'll
  476. 28:03teach you how to test your cranial
  477. 28:05nerves your thoracic reflexes your
  478. 28:08pelvic reflexes and other reflexes
  479. 28:12okay and for now I would like to thank
  480. 28:16life sciences especially Dr. Vishal
  481. 28:18Sharma for his trust in me both my
  482. 28:21teachers Dr. Voger and Dr. Paul and two
  483. 28:24universities that have helped
  484. 28:26tremendously especially with the videos
  485. 28:28Cornell University and University of
  486. 28:30Georgia.
  487. 28:32Thank you very much everyone. I'll be
  488. 28:34happy to answer questions.
  489. 28:37Um could you go back to the video uh
  490. 28:40played just before the hands on exam
  491. 28:44caucus Daniel and can you walk me
  492. 28:47through it?
  493. 28:48Yes. Um which one?
  494. 28:51This the last video in this
  495. 28:53sensory the one with this uh sensory
  496. 28:56attacks here.
  497. 28:58Sure.
  498. 29:04Okay. this guy.
  499. 29:08Now if we look at this pet's gate, okay,
  500. 29:12we will see that so sensory atexia can
  501. 29:15also be called propreceptive attacksia
  502. 29:18because there is there is an issue with
  503. 29:21propriception and there is an ataxia
  504. 29:24because of that. So let's look at this
  505. 29:27video where this pet
  506. 29:32notice the placement of the back legs
  507. 29:35the quality of the gate in the back legs
  508. 29:38when you compare it to the front. The
  509. 29:40front is normal but notice the notice
  510. 29:43the sway the attack in the back legs.
  511. 29:47There we go. See that? So that
  512. 29:52see how choppy it kind of looks. So that
  513. 29:55gate
  514. 29:59is a propreceptive atexia. So it is at
  515. 30:02taxic because of propreceptive issues in
  516. 30:06the back legs. See that? And then you'll
  517. 30:10notice that there are occasions where
  518. 30:12the pet drops down, right? There is a
  519. 30:15lack of um muscle strength or muscle
  520. 30:19function. So there is a temp there is a
  521. 30:22loss in muscle involuntary movement of
  522. 30:25the leg but it's not completely lost.
  523. 30:29That's why I call this an ambulatory
  524. 30:31paresis with a propreceptive attacks
  525. 30:34here.
  526. 30:36Madam
  527. 30:37no intentional tremor in this video.
  528. 30:41No no no intentional tremors here.
  529. 30:44Thank you so much.
  530. 30:45Where could be the lesion? Where could
  531. 30:47be the reason located in this case?
  532. 30:49Right? So if you you remember the
  533. 30:53initial part of the lecture where I
  534. 30:55spoke about the intumisence that
  535. 30:58provides to the front legs and the back
  536. 31:00legs. You'll notice here that there is a
  537. 31:03reduced weightbearing capacity. Here the
  538. 31:06lesion is L4 to S3 because there you can
  539. 31:10see that the PET drops down and usually
  540. 31:12when there's a reduced weightbearing
  541. 31:14capacity the sciatic nerve is
  542. 31:17responsible for that and the sciatic
  543. 31:19nerve comes out from L4 to S3. So the
  544. 31:23localization is L4 to S3.
  545. 31:28Thank you. Thank you.
  546. 31:29Welcome. Unless you uh you mentioned
  547. 31:32about the postural abnormalities
  548. 31:34covering scoliosis, kyphosis, cloudosis
  549. 31:37etc.
  550. 31:38How do we account for torticololis?
  551. 31:40Toricololis.
  552. 31:42Okay. Yes, very good question. So
  553. 31:45toolis,
  554. 31:46thank you.
  555. 31:47Um we have replaced the toricolis with
  556. 31:51the word oppos.
  557. 31:54Okay. So toolis is predominant. We have
  558. 31:58predominantly used that term in farm
  559. 32:00animals. And here in small animals the
  560. 32:04term that has replaced torticololis is
  561. 32:07oppos.
  562. 32:09And so what is oppos? Oistoonis is
  563. 32:13basically the hyper flexion of the neck
  564. 32:16backwards.
  565. 32:18And so this is
  566. 32:21what we would call as oppos
  567. 32:27Nick.
  568. 32:28There we go. So this is an opposic
  569. 32:32posture. And so yes, I do have so I do
  570. 32:36have my professors who still would call
  571. 32:39this tool.
  572. 32:41Now we we have we have replaced the term
  573. 32:44with opposis.
  574. 32:51I hope that answers the question.
  575. 32:55Can you elaborate on cattoplex and
  576. 32:57narcolexi?
  577. 32:59Yes. So catyplexi is basically the
  578. 33:03complete loss. Um I am going to show um
  579. 33:08one second.
  580. 33:12It'll help you understand better.
  581. 33:16Yes.
  582. 33:27Complete loss of muscle strength with
  583. 33:30consciousness is the catalyp.
  584. 33:33Absolutely. Yes. I actually would like
  585. 33:36to show you all a video. Um
  586. 33:40Dr. Vishal, are you here with me?
  587. 33:44Yes, I'm there. Doc,
  588. 33:47um, will I be giving the seizure and
  589. 33:48epilepsy lecture soon?
  590. 33:51Yes. Yes, definitely.
  591. 33:53Okay. So, that
  592. 33:54we will be having just a mandatory break
  593. 33:56for the next week and then for the this
  594. 34:00was kochi and then we'll be continuing
  595. 34:03all the rest of the lectures.
  596. 34:05Okay. So when I am going to give the
  597. 34:07seizure and epsy lecture, please um
  598. 34:10please attend that lecture because I'm
  599. 34:12going to show youall seizure mimics and
  600. 34:16the seizure mimic videos have plenty of
  601. 34:20narcoleptic videos which I'm going to
  602. 34:22show you all including catyplexic videos
  603. 34:25as well. But for now what is the
  604. 34:28difference between narcolepsy and
  605. 34:30catyplexi? Basically catyplexi is a
  606. 34:34complete loss of muscle function with
  607. 34:38retaining consciousness. Narcolepsy is a
  608. 34:41complete loss of muscle function with a
  609. 34:44loss of consciousness also. So catyplexi
  610. 34:48consciousness is there but loss of full
  611. 34:51muscle function. Narcolepsy loss of
  612. 34:54function and loss of consciousness.
  613. 35:00Ma'am, what is HT strips?
  614. 35:04Sorry.
  615. 35:06HTT strips.
  616. 35:09Oh, so that's the shmear tier test.
  617. 35:12Basically, we'll get to that. We'll get
  618. 35:14to that when uh we do
  619. 35:16Okay. Thank you.
  620. 35:17when we do the u advanced neurology
  621. 35:20lecture in opthalmology. That time we'll
  622. 35:24be I'll teach you what's ST and why do
  623. 35:26we use it and how it's related to the
  624. 35:28nervous system. So it's a test and check
  625. 35:31your production docu till then Dr. S can
  626. 35:35refer to our opthalmology uh webinars
  627. 35:39that is already available on the YouTube
  628. 35:41with Dr. Romani there you will find ST
  629. 35:44and FDT both and other tests also.
  630. 35:49Perfect.
  631. 35:50Hello ma'am.
  632. 35:52Hello.
  633. 35:54Yes. Hello sir.
  634. 35:55Uh ma'am can you uh explain vestibular
  635. 35:58and cerebellar attacks you once again if
  636. 36:00you don't mind.
  637. 36:02Sure. Sure. Okay. So vestibular attacks
  638. 36:08imagine it this way. Okay. We will
  639. 36:10simplify it.
  640. 36:12Your vestibular atexia is an atexia that
  641. 36:15looks like that of a pet who is drunk.
  642. 36:19Okay, there basically there is a loss of
  643. 36:22balance and the pet is trying to
  644. 36:24maintain balance and move forward. Now
  645. 36:27your cerebellar taxia it will come with
  646. 36:31other signs. So the cerebellum can also
  647. 36:35present with a little bit of
  648. 36:36incoordination but it comes with other
  649. 36:39signs like hypometria
  650. 36:41complete incoordination of movement. The
  651. 36:44pet will still move but there is an
  652. 36:47incoordinated placement of the legs to
  653. 36:50move forward and there is an intentional
  654. 36:52there may be an intentional tremor.
  655. 36:55Intentional tremor meaning the pet wants
  656. 36:58to move forward but there's a little bit
  657. 37:00of a tremor before the the movement is
  658. 37:03initiated. So you see intentional tremor
  659. 37:07hyperactria
  660. 37:08and um a ser and an incoordinated gate
  661. 37:12in cerebellar issues. In vestibular
  662. 37:15issues it's more of balancing issues. So
  663. 37:19leaning more towards one side, falling
  664. 37:21off towards one side, sort of not losing
  665. 37:25a bit of balance when the pet moves
  666. 37:27forward. It's more like a drunk gate.
  667. 37:30Excuse me, everyone. Please mute your
  668. 37:32mute your mic.
  669. 37:34Thank you ma'am.
  670. 37:39[Music]
  671. 37:41Ma'am,
  672. 37:41in the signal you mentioned something
  673. 37:44about B and Q. May know what is it
  674. 37:47about? Sorry,
  675. 37:49in the signalment slide you have
  676. 37:51mentioned something about B and Q R.
  677. 37:55Oh, bright alert responsive quiet alert
  678. 37:58responsive. That is just how the pet
  679. 38:01presents to you. Is he bright alert,
  680. 38:03responsive, quiet and responsive? So
  681. 38:06that's B A R and Q A R.
  682. 38:12Doc,
  683. 38:14Dr. Nisha can you come to the chat box
  684. 38:17also there are certain questions
  685. 38:20I would request everyone to mute your
  686. 38:22mic it is creating a big
  687. 38:25hello
  688. 38:26Mr. Ben. Hello everyone.
  689. 38:29I request you to please mute your mic
  690. 38:31and write your questions in chat box.
  691. 38:34That will be very easy for us and will
  692. 38:37not disturb other people because most of
  693. 38:39the mics are unmuted right now and the
  694. 38:42person who already posted a question is
  695. 38:45unable to understand the answer. So it's
  696. 38:47better you write down your questions in
  697. 38:49chat box and let the Dr. Nisha take them
  698. 38:53one by one. Dr.
  699. 38:55Please if you can refer to the chat box
  700. 38:58uh you can uh you know you can uh uh
  701. 39:01stop sharing now and then you can
  702. 39:04properly check your chat box and then we
  703. 39:07can discuss all the questions one by
  704. 39:08one.
  705. 39:10Yes. Okay. So we have
  706. 39:16Hello.
  707. 39:17Yes. Yes dog.
  708. 39:19Okay. So we have a question here.
  709. 39:21Suppose hemiparesis in a dog then
  710. 39:24location of the lesion is where? Now
  711. 39:26when the pet is hemiparetic meaning that
  712. 39:29it is they are paritic on one side
  713. 39:32either it is on the opposite side of the
  714. 39:34forebrain or the same side of the brain
  715. 39:37stem
  716. 39:38[Music]
  717. 40:20significance. Now the more questions are
  718. 40:22there. What is the significance of
  719. 40:25opismus
  720. 40:26in neuroexam?
  721. 40:29Okay.
  722. 40:31Very good question. It is an indicator
  723. 40:34that intraranial pressure may have
  724. 40:37increased or it's an indicator that
  725. 40:40there could be transentorial herniation
  726. 40:44because of that intraraanial increased
  727. 40:47pressure. So that's the neur that's
  728. 40:49mainly the neurological significance
  729. 40:52and it is a neurological emergency.
  730. 40:56Okay.
  731. 40:57Cat shows uh ventroflexction when they
  732. 41:01have hypocalemia.
  733. 41:04Does this have a neuro component or it
  734. 41:06is differentiated based on history lab
  735. 41:10findings?
  736. 41:14Yes. So hypocalemic pets they basically
  737. 41:19have a myopathy associated with
  738. 41:21hypocalemia right there is a weakness of
  739. 41:24the cervical muscles is why there is a
  740. 41:26ventroflexion. So here we do have a
  741. 41:29neuromuscular
  742. 41:31muscular issue due to nonneurological
  743. 41:35causes but it is still an abnormal
  744. 41:38posture.
  745. 41:40It's not necessary. When you see
  746. 41:42abnormal postures, it is because of a
  747. 41:45neurological cause. There can be
  748. 41:48non-neurological causes presenting with
  749. 41:52neuromuscular issues.
  750. 41:55Now, twitching and mild tremors, how to
  751. 41:58differentiate?
  752. 41:59Very good. Uh, attend the seizure and
  753. 42:03epilepsy lecture. That's where I'll be
  754. 42:06able to explain the difference.
  755. 42:09Difference between myoclonus and tremors
  756. 42:13again
  757. 42:14again. Yes. So this also the myoclonus
  758. 42:17it I I need you all to stay for the part
  759. 42:20two of the neuro exam because then we
  760. 42:23will be doing some case studies and
  761. 42:25that's where I'll be show you these
  762. 42:28myiokemic and myoclonic cases.
  763. 42:31Okay. Uh ma'am what are the
  764. 42:33differentials if 45 days puppy presented
  765. 42:36with circling
  766. 42:38in a lecture after the next one you
  767. 42:42yourself will be able to come up with
  768. 42:44the differentials I will so the lecture
  769. 42:48the the the
  770. 42:50lecture after the next one is that
  771. 42:53lecture how do you come up with the
  772. 42:55differentials based on your history your
  773. 42:58neuro findings and your signalment ment
  774. 43:02and so remind me ask me this question
  775. 43:05again in that lecture and you and me
  776. 43:08will be able to come up with the
  777. 43:09differentials together.
  778. 43:12Great. Uh good evening ma'am. How about
  779. 43:14metanidazole toxicity and how to
  780. 43:17differentiate it from other conditions.
  781. 43:21Very good history taking very good
  782. 43:23history taking and comp and relying on
  783. 43:25the accuracy of your neurological
  784. 43:27examination. Of course, screening tests
  785. 43:30for infectious causes may need to be
  786. 43:32done, but that's basically a diagnosis
  787. 43:35of exclusion. So, if you are able to
  788. 43:38derive this from your history itself,
  789. 43:40you have probably made a diagnosis. It
  790. 43:43has a classic presentation of central
  791. 43:45vestibular disease.
  792. 43:48If the patient is already on the
  793. 43:50treatment of metronidazole for last 5 to
  794. 43:527 days, I believe then this is the
  795. 43:54already already a differential. We can
  796. 43:57think about it.
  797. 43:57Definitely. Yes. Yes.
  798. 43:59Yeah. The lesion localization in
  799. 44:02paraplegic dogs.
  800. 44:05Okay. So, it depends on where the
  801. 44:07paraplegia is. If it's in the fold
  802. 44:10again, this I'll be able to teach you in
  803. 44:12the next lecture, the upcoming lecture
  804. 44:14because then we will look at spinal
  805. 44:16reflexes.
  806. 44:18Yes. And there this is the most
  807. 44:20important lecture where people get
  808. 44:21confused. I believe I get confused in
  809. 44:23that particular lecture. Yes.
  810. 44:25The aim of this lecture is to just
  811. 44:28absorb it blindly. I know it is uh you
  812. 44:32know it is like a dictator's type of
  813. 44:34teaching but for now just absorb it
  814. 44:36blindly.
  815. 44:38Both the lectures will together will
  816. 44:40make a proper you know some summary.
  817. 44:44Even the next lecture, it's part two and
  818. 44:47it will complete your neuro exam. But
  819. 44:49the lecture after that is when we'll
  820. 44:52gather all the information and I promise
  821. 44:56you you will be able to function like a
  822. 44:58neurologist.
  823. 45:00Great. Discussing about uh deserebrated
  824. 45:05and deserated rigidity. Can a
  825. 45:08unconscious dog with FL extended forlim
  826. 45:11extended and high limb flexed have
  827. 45:16derebrated rigidity?
  828. 45:18Yes, absolutely. That is decelbrate
  829. 45:20rigidity. No consciousness with extended
  830. 45:24forlims and sometimes extended hind
  831. 45:27limbs also is decelbrate rigidity.
  832. 45:30Still uh today attendance was 300
  833. 45:33vinarians were there in the lecture.
  834. 45:36Even 188 veterinarians are there in this
  835. 45:39lecture right now. So ma'am there are
  836. 45:42times recently when dog with loss of
  837. 45:45appetite and limping of one leg either
  838. 45:48left or right are presented to me. Can
  839. 45:51it be classified as neurologic or other
  840. 45:54type of case?
  841. 45:56Very difficult to tell. Very difficult
  842. 45:59to tell because you have to share videos
  843. 46:01with me.
  844. 46:03Yes. And maybe all the history and the
  845. 46:05rest of the examination done, blood
  846. 46:07works done, everything is needed.
  847. 46:10Yeah. Okay.
  848. 46:12You know, we'll have to the orthopedic
  849. 46:13conditions.
  850. 46:15Yes. First of all, no longer orthopedic
  851. 46:17conditions. Yes. Very true. Very true.
  852. 46:20Absolutely.
  853. 46:21Neurovse. One word is neurovse. Uh maybe
  854. 46:25someone is describing this lecture. Not
  855. 46:28able to do wheelbarrow test. What do you
  856. 46:33told leion would be? What?
  857. 46:36Okay,
  858. 46:38good, good, very good question. Now,
  859. 46:41when you have a spinal fracture case,
  860. 46:44please do not do all of that. You will
  861. 46:48destabilize the spine. You are only
  862. 46:50allowed to do your postural reaction
  863. 46:53testing if your if there is no history
  864. 46:57of trauma. There's no history vehicle
  865. 47:00accident. There's no history of fall.
  866. 47:04Okay? Because you have a risk of
  867. 47:06seriously destabilizing the spine by
  868. 47:08doing your postural reactions during
  869. 47:10that time. Also, if the pet is in severe
  870. 47:13pain, do not do it. This compromises the
  871. 47:17safety of the patient. your wheelbarrow.
  872. 47:20Same thing. That's what my lecturer told
  873. 47:22me. If you cannot do it, don't do it.
  874. 47:25Okay? Because when you wheelbarrow and
  875. 47:27you can't do it, that means that animal
  876. 47:29is way too big for you to do it or you
  877. 47:32just don't know how to do it. Do not do
  878. 47:35it. Postural reactions, you can you can
  879. 47:38do harm. So if the pet is in pain,
  880. 47:41there's history of trauma or being hit
  881. 47:43by a vehicle or has fallen, just avoid
  882. 47:46your postural reactions. Doing your CP
  883. 47:49and hopping will give you a lot of
  884. 47:51information.
  885. 47:53Line of treatment for metronidazold
  886. 47:55induced vestibular disproportion
  887. 48:00I believe someone is facing really
  888. 48:02experiencing this case. So he badly
  889. 48:06wants the treatment right now. What are
  890. 48:08what are the treatment available?
  891. 48:11Withdraw the drug and the moment the
  892. 48:13toxicity signs set in, you can attempt
  893. 48:16to reverse it with dasopam and very good
  894. 48:19supportive care. Okay? Sometimes it can
  895. 48:22be permanent and you can't do anything
  896. 48:24about it. But if you have induced
  897. 48:26metronidazol toxicity, I feel for you.
  898. 48:30I'm so sorry. But I have seen like in
  899. 48:33metronidazol toxicity and ivormectin
  900. 48:35toxicity 90% of the cases they
  901. 48:38definitely respond in 48 to 72 hours.
  902. 48:41Yes absolutely
  903. 48:43they do respond. Uh how to differentiate
  904. 48:46shift sharington to other postural
  905. 48:49defect.
  906. 48:51Your shift sharington
  907. 48:53presents like your d cerebellate cases
  908. 48:56in lateral recumbancy but move them make
  909. 48:59them stand and see because in your ship
  910. 49:02sharington cases they are paritic or
  911. 49:04paralyzed on the back legs. Your other
  912. 49:06cases are not going to do that to your
  913. 49:08pet. You have to see paresis or
  914. 49:12paralysis with the ship sharington
  915. 49:14posture for you to say this is ship
  916. 49:16sharington.
  917. 49:19A case of twitching of the temporal
  918. 49:21reason in canine distemper case but the
  919. 49:24test kit came to be negative.
  920. 49:27What could be the differentials? Where
  921. 49:29can the le be located?
  922. 49:32I would still consider distemper. I
  923. 49:34would only consider this negative is if
  924. 49:38the CSF sample is negative for
  925. 49:40distemper.
  926. 49:42Oh,
  927. 49:42the nasal swab and the I'm sorry, the
  928. 49:45ocular swab has an incredibly high uh um
  929. 49:50false negative.
  930. 49:53So, are we going to learn how to take
  931. 49:55the CSF sample in these lectures or any
  932. 49:59videos any any video you know
  933. 50:03referential video we can see that how to
  934. 50:05take that because that is going to be
  935. 50:07one of the important diagnostic tool I
  936. 50:10believe.
  937. 50:11Yes. So you know in how in TV series
  938. 50:14they'll say stay tuned. So I'm going to
  939. 50:16say stay tuned. You must attend my
  940. 50:18lectures to find out.
  941. 50:20Definitely.
  942. 50:21Whether whether uh tuberculosis
  943. 50:25infection can cause parasis.
  944. 50:29Absolutely. Yes. Yes. Yes. Absolutely it
  945. 50:33can.
  946. 50:35Now
  947. 50:36we have collect we have actually
  948. 50:38diagnosed tuberculosis cases in the
  949. 50:40spinal cord and in the brain.
  950. 50:42Yes. Uh ma'am can be besiosis anoplasma
  951. 50:46only cause paraplegic
  952. 50:49reason?
  953. 50:50No. No. No. No. You may have cerebral
  954. 50:54beesiosis. You may have myitis because
  955. 50:57of early kiosis. But babyiosis causing
  956. 51:00plegia I highly doubt or maybe I'm not
  957. 51:03geneneralally in general. I don't think
  958. 51:05so.
  959. 51:06Yeah. And head turn in neurogenic KCS
  960. 51:12is it common symptom or is it there
  961. 51:14underlying other neurological
  962. 51:16conditions? Head turn in neurogenic KCS.
  963. 51:20Yeah. So means we are dealing with a
  964. 51:23multif focal lesion isn't it? Because
  965. 51:25then we have a head turn and we're also
  966. 51:27having one of the brain stem deficits
  967. 51:29over there. So
  968. 51:32we the lesion here is multif focal.
  969. 51:35Uh there is a question for me Dr. Vishal
  970. 51:38when would the first lecture be
  971. 51:40available on YouTube please? Uh
  972. 51:42respected uh everyone actually these are
  973. 51:45the lectures which are containing some
  974. 51:48copyright stuff from different
  975. 51:51universities and some pet owners are
  976. 51:53also there. So we discussed with Dr.
  977. 51:56Nisha and there are certain issues in
  978. 51:58those sharing those kind of uh videos
  979. 52:02and the problem is these lectures are
  980. 52:04useless unless and until you can
  981. 52:06correlate with the videos. So we are
  982. 52:08coming up with a solution where we will
  983. 52:11have a restricted entry to these
  984. 52:14lectures and definitely we don't want
  985. 52:17put them to uh put them on YouTube for
  986. 52:20free access. So wait for some time let
  987. 52:23the course complete. We will uh put all
  988. 52:25these lectures in the form of a course
  989. 52:28in our website and the entry will be
  990. 52:30restricted to the registered
  991. 52:31veterinarians only so that it is not
  992. 52:33freely available on the web. So there we
  993. 52:37only we can uh solve this copyright
  994. 52:39issue I think. So please be patient and
  995. 52:43attend all lectures and definitely the
  996. 52:45recording will be available for you. But
  997. 52:47uh we are we we are really sorry that we
  998. 52:50are not able we won't be able to put it
  999. 52:52on a free web uh link where can I find
  1000. 52:56the first okay same how much effort does
  1001. 53:01curvature abnormalities have on dog and
  1002. 53:04how can it be managed.
  1003. 53:09So discussing treatments is beyond the
  1004. 53:11scope of this lecture. Again, no case is
  1005. 53:14so straightforward where you just manage
  1006. 53:17the case. You have to find out what's
  1007. 53:19causing it.
  1008. 53:21[Music]
  1009. 54:02And that is the same thing. One more
  1010. 54:04question is there. What is the immediate
  1011. 54:06treatment when a spinal injury cases
  1012. 54:08with paraplasia?
  1013. 54:10Again, what's causing the plegia?
  1014. 54:12Because the moment you discover what's
  1015. 54:14causing the plegia, you know the
  1016. 54:16treatment. So, it's I'm afraid it's not
  1017. 54:19that straightforward.
  1018. 54:21Now, one more uh question is there and
  1019. 54:24uh this you have to answer that
  1020. 54:27recommendation of gabapentin for
  1021. 54:29neuropathic pain. Gavapentine is also
  1022. 54:32being used for sedation of ferocious
  1023. 54:35anxious dogs before bringing them to
  1024. 54:39clinic. Can neuropathic pain dose of
  1025. 54:41gabapentin cause sedation?
  1026. 54:45Yes. Yes. Absolutely. So one of the side
  1027. 54:47effects of gabapentin is actually
  1028. 54:50sedation. So for pain it's ideally
  1029. 54:52between 5 to 10 mg per kg twice to
  1030. 54:55thrice a day. And I often tell my
  1031. 54:57clients that it it may cause sedation.
  1032. 54:59If that's the case, you just reduce the
  1033. 55:01dose or you reduce the frequency.
  1034. 55:04And for everyone's knowledge, Oryhill
  1035. 55:07Life Sciences right now produces 50 mg,
  1036. 55:10300 mg and 600 mg of the GAVA pentin
  1037. 55:13that is available in Indian market. So
  1038. 55:15if you are having any trouble in getting
  1039. 55:17the vitary specific gava pentin so you
  1040. 55:20can contact us.
  1041. 55:23So next is uh please I need your
  1042. 55:27previous videos as I miss them.
  1043. 55:29Definitely sir definitely ma'am it will
  1044. 55:31be available soon. Does CD nervous
  1045. 55:35science man uh does CD nervous science
  1046. 55:38managed ma'am? Somebody wants to ask I
  1047. 55:41think can it be managed nervous science
  1048. 55:44can be managed or not? CD
  1049. 55:46right? So CD is mainly supportive
  1050. 55:48therapy unfortunately
  1051. 55:50um and uh you know so there's there is a
  1052. 55:54lot of research currently that is going
  1053. 55:56on in terms of actually um preventing
  1054. 56:00any further neurological damage. So
  1055. 56:02that's still going on. However, the only
  1056. 56:05treatment for CD is supportive. Um and
  1057. 56:08then with regard to the neurological
  1058. 56:10symptoms, I'm afraid muscle relaxance is
  1059. 56:13the way to go forward. If those myoconic
  1060. 56:15tremors are a bit too much, but then
  1061. 56:18again even that if it leads to a serious
  1062. 56:21compromise in the quality of life, then
  1063. 56:23I'm afraid our options are very very
  1064. 56:25limited. However, there is some novel
  1065. 56:28research that is going on in even rabies
  1066. 56:30for example, you know, on how they could
  1067. 56:33be treated and cured,
  1068. 56:36right? And one question is can we use
  1069. 56:39ammentadine in pets
  1070. 56:43for what
  1071. 56:44amantadine? I don't know.
  1072. 56:46Um no but I I want to know why does this
  1073. 56:50person want to use amantadine? Um
  1074. 56:53whoever has asked that question if you
  1075. 56:55can let me know what do you why do you
  1076. 56:58want to use so if you tell me I want to
  1077. 56:59use gavapentin for neuropathic pain you
  1078. 57:02know so why do you want to use
  1079. 57:04amantadine under for which case
  1080. 57:08uh any unidentified shivering cases like
  1081. 57:11in convulsion or
  1082. 57:14incoordination moment we are able to
  1083. 57:16find exactly what it is exactly
  1084. 57:19giving a maintaining along with the gapa
  1085. 57:21I hope It is giving proper uh
  1086. 57:23neuropathic pain control as well as uh
  1087. 57:27management.
  1088. 57:28Absolutely. Yes. So I use amantadine and
  1089. 57:31gava combined for neuropathic pain
  1090. 57:34especially severe neuropathic chronic
  1091. 57:36pain and it works. It works beautifully.
  1092. 57:40Yeah because I am handling all wild
  1093. 57:41animals. So it's very difficult to do
  1094. 57:43all the type of test which you are
  1095. 57:45mentioning. However, I'm trying my best.
  1096. 57:47So in the type of condition to manage
  1097. 57:49the situation and pick the control. So
  1098. 57:51go for a and carap in combination is
  1099. 57:53going better. Thank you.
  1100. 57:55Yes or you can call me there doc. I can
  1101. 57:58run the test for you.
  1102. 58:00Exactly.
  1103. 58:01Uh now thank you people are saying thank
  1104. 58:03you to ma'am uh for such a wonderful
  1105. 58:06lecture.
  1106. 58:06Thank you so much.
  1107. 58:08And uh one is uh is Korea treatable?
  1108. 58:15Uh again depends on the underlying
  1109. 58:18cause. If it's because of distemper, no.
  1110. 58:21And here, majority of the cases are due
  1111. 58:24to distemper. But if it's due to any
  1112. 58:26other underlying cause, then it it may
  1113. 58:28be treatable.
  1114. 58:30Okay. And the last thing I would like,
  1115. 58:32thank you very much everyone for your
  1116. 58:36genius questions. Uh uh doc if you can
  1117. 58:39suggest us any books or reference books
  1118. 58:42which uh because you have already
  1119. 58:43sparked the sparked the energy and spark
  1120. 58:46you know people are now curious about
  1121. 58:48the neurology and I believe this is the
  1122. 58:52first line of series of lectures in
  1123. 58:54India happening on neurology and you
  1124. 58:58will be as the pioneer of in this field.
  1125. 59:01So please guide us which are the books
  1126. 59:05uh which can be crisp and direct to
  1127. 59:07Indian Indian you know references like
  1128. 59:10our Indian speakers if some authors from
  1129. 59:14India or abroad in a small format if
  1130. 59:17they have made something which which is
  1131. 59:20understandable.
  1132. 59:21Um I actually I have it with me. Can you
  1133. 59:24just give me a second? I can show you
  1134. 59:26all which
  1135. 59:27Sure. Sure. uh we will try to find out
  1136. 59:29the PDF format of that uh book and then
  1137. 59:33we will make it available on our uh
  1138. 59:35telegram channel.
  1139. 59:37Please show us please show us
  1140. 59:39one second. One sec.
  1141. 59:56Thank you Dr. Visal for arranging this
  1142. 59:59nice lecture.
  1143. 1:00:01Thank you sir. You all are very
  1144. 1:00:03enthusiastic and I believe I was also
  1145. 1:00:05facing this issue in my practice that I
  1146. 1:00:09was very much scared of neurological
  1147. 1:00:11cases and neurology is very big taboo
  1148. 1:00:15for us has been a big taboo for us for
  1149. 1:00:18long but when I attended first lecture
  1150. 1:00:22of Dr. Nisha and that was so simple and
  1151. 1:00:25so great. So I also got you know
  1152. 1:00:29confident that this can be learned at
  1153. 1:00:31this stage. So if I can learn anybody
  1154. 1:00:34can learn and uh that also depends on
  1155. 1:00:36the speaker how good she can tell you.
  1156. 1:00:40So thank you very much everyone. Doc
  1157. 1:00:43please share that book.
  1158. 1:00:45Yeah. So doc as of now these are the
  1159. 1:00:48books I have read. Okay. Now if you have
  1160. 1:00:51to if you have to start with neurology
  1161. 1:00:56this is the one I would recommend your
  1162. 1:00:58BSAVA manual of K9 and feline neurology.
  1163. 1:01:02Okay. And it also has
  1164. 1:01:05this is
  1165. 1:01:05this is in PDF format. Yes. And I'm
  1166. 1:01:08happy to share this with you all. So you
  1167. 1:01:11have your PDF format here and then you
  1168. 1:01:13also have in data or content you have
  1169. 1:01:16videos. So you can see those videos and
  1170. 1:01:19correlate it with your BSABA manual.
  1171. 1:01:23Um
  1172. 1:01:23that's great.
  1173. 1:01:24There is also uh yes the second book
  1174. 1:01:29which every new neurologist must read is
  1175. 1:01:33the D Costa Practical Guide for K9 and
  1176. 1:01:36Feline Neurology. Okay. And you need to
  1177. 1:01:39concurrently combine that information
  1178. 1:01:42with Luna's veterary neuroanatomy and
  1179. 1:01:45clinical neurology. these three books is
  1180. 1:01:48enough. If you are still into neuro then
  1181. 1:01:52fundamentals of neuroanatomy and
  1182. 1:01:55neuroysiology is another book that I
  1183. 1:01:57recommend. And of course it's very
  1184. 1:02:00important you know what are the small
  1185. 1:02:02animal neurological emergencies but you
  1186. 1:02:05cannot you can't understand this you
  1187. 1:02:08can't uh unless you go through your
  1188. 1:02:10BSABA manual along with D Costa's book
  1189. 1:02:15and Lunta's neuroanatomy book um you
  1190. 1:02:19also have veterary neuroanatomy a
  1191. 1:02:22clinical approach so if you find lonta's
  1192. 1:02:26book too complicated Then you can just
  1193. 1:02:29then combine D Costa's book along with
  1194. 1:02:32the veterary neuroanatomy book and this
  1195. 1:02:36is what's required for the in the
  1196. 1:02:38beginning and then you can you know once
  1197. 1:02:40you have understood neurology then you
  1198. 1:02:43can go on to read your canine and feline
  1199. 1:02:45epilepsy books your CT and MRI books
  1200. 1:02:49your of course other animal neuro other
  1201. 1:02:52species neurological diseases
  1202. 1:02:54electrodiagnostic books um Yeah,
  1203. 1:03:01doc please share these books with us and
  1204. 1:03:03we will help all this community our
  1205. 1:03:06community with that. Uh there are
  1206. 1:03:08certain uh small questions. One is uh
  1207. 1:03:14u one doc was asking about the combined
  1208. 1:03:18dose of amantine and gapentine if you
  1209. 1:03:21can recommend any combined dose of those
  1210. 1:03:24two medicines.
  1211. 1:03:25Right.
  1212. 1:03:27Uh are we allowed to discuss those
  1213. 1:03:28treatments here?
  1214. 1:03:30Uh we are allowed. If you don't have any
  1215. 1:03:33problem, you can discuss this thing.
  1216. 1:03:35Okay. Only reason being it really
  1217. 1:03:38depends on what your clinical parameters
  1218. 1:03:40are also. You can't use it on severe
  1219. 1:03:43cardiac patients and you know so just be
  1220. 1:03:46a little cautious with using these drugs
  1221. 1:03:48if you have not screened your patients.
  1222. 1:03:50Ideally your mantadine dose is 3 mg per
  1223. 1:03:53kg once a day and your gabapentin dose
  1224. 1:03:57is 5 to 10 mg per kg twice to thrice a
  1225. 1:04:00day. Again they come with their side
  1226. 1:04:02effects and it must be tailor made to
  1227. 1:04:04the patient based on their clinical
  1228. 1:04:06parameters. Okay.
  1229. 1:04:09Right. Uh which muscle relaxant is very
  1230. 1:04:11useful to treat tickness in cattle under
  1231. 1:04:15field condition? Do you have any idea?
  1232. 1:04:17in cattle um
  1233. 1:04:19tet tetas for tetas.
  1234. 1:04:21Yeah. Uh in cattle muscle relaxants I
  1235. 1:04:24will need to look it up but as far as I
  1236. 1:04:26know the ones that work is your dasipam
  1237. 1:04:29your midazzylam to some extent
  1238. 1:04:31mtocarbamol
  1239. 1:04:33but these three drugs are the only ones
  1240. 1:04:35that I am aware of that exists in the
  1241. 1:04:37veterary market to treat tetanus as a
  1242. 1:04:40for muscle relaxation.
  1243. 1:04:42Okay.
  1244. 1:04:42But if I'm not mistaken large animals
  1245. 1:04:44they are often put down. I have never
  1246. 1:04:47ever
  1247. 1:04:47Yes. Yes.
  1248. 1:04:48At least my my uh teachers attempt to
  1249. 1:04:52treat those cases.
  1250. 1:04:54Okay. And uh one is at what extent laser
  1251. 1:04:58therapy will help in ambulatory
  1252. 1:05:00paraparis
  1253. 1:05:01cases.
  1254. 1:05:03It does. So laser is anti-inflammatory
  1255. 1:05:05to some it does to some extent. It it
  1256. 1:05:08helps um it just helps bring down any
  1257. 1:05:10inflammation in the spinal cord and so
  1258. 1:05:13I've seen improvements. So yes, laser
  1259. 1:05:15therapy can very much it's
  1260. 1:05:17contraindicated if you suspect there's
  1261. 1:05:20neoplasia involved or a coagulopy
  1262. 1:05:23involved.
  1263. 1:05:23I think one doctor is facing tetanas in
  1264. 1:05:26dogs. So he's asking what is your view
  1265. 1:05:29on tetanus toxide to be used human
  1266. 1:05:32tetanus toxide can be used in dogs and
  1267. 1:05:35what you can throw a light on this
  1268. 1:05:36tickness thing in dogs. So we have
  1269. 1:05:40actually used intrammal toxoids of
  1270. 1:05:42various kinds. Um and so we see ideally
  1271. 1:05:45we see if there is an anaphylactic
  1272. 1:05:47reaction to the intrammal test. No
  1273. 1:05:50anaphylactic reaction then we actually
  1274. 1:05:52do administer the drug. Uh but I usually
  1275. 1:05:55would do an intrammal test to see if
  1276. 1:05:57there is any analysis towards that.
  1277. 1:06:01Okay great. I think here we should
  1278. 1:06:03finish our session because uh it's
  1279. 1:06:05already 5:15 and all vetinarians are
  1280. 1:06:08also busy and definitely you have to
  1281. 1:06:10take your evening session and thank you
  1282. 1:06:12very much Dr. Nisha this was a wonderful
  1283. 1:06:15session again as usual and I think this
  1284. 1:06:19has already ignited the slides and more
  1285. 1:06:22and more neurologist will come up in
  1286. 1:06:25future and we are all ready to become a
  1287. 1:06:28beginner of neur neurologist smallcale
  1288. 1:06:31neurologist and I hope even last day
  1289. 1:06:34also I received a case that was having a
  1290. 1:06:38neurological science I will show you
  1291. 1:06:40with the show you the video that was a
  1292. 1:06:44uh that was a uh Shihu breed 7.5 kg and
  1293. 1:06:49that was having this type of wide trans
  1294. 1:06:53kind of uh movement and when I saw the
  1295. 1:06:57treatment done it was already being
  1296. 1:06:59treated for skin infection that was a
  1297. 1:07:01high dose of ketoonazole was being done
  1298. 1:07:04and ivormectin dose was literally very
  1299. 1:07:06high that was the pet was consuming so I
  1300. 1:07:10just recommended him to ate and watch.
  1301. 1:07:13And then we recommended a small dose of
  1302. 1:07:16this pheninobital.
  1303. 1:07:18Pheninobital we gave and we just put
  1304. 1:07:22unless and until you know it took time
  1305. 1:07:24to summarize the whole thing but as soon
  1306. 1:07:28we put this uh IV manitol also if there
  1307. 1:07:32is something to detoxify and release
  1308. 1:07:34pressure on the brain and by tomorrow
  1309. 1:07:37morning we saw a good improvement in
  1310. 1:07:40that patient. So I think the neurology
  1311. 1:07:43is a very tough thing and we have to
  1312. 1:07:45rule out all the other things before we
  1313. 1:07:48jump to proper treatment of uh
  1314. 1:07:51something.
  1315. 1:07:52Absolutely. Absolutely. No, I'm really
  1316. 1:07:54glad I'm very glad that whatever you're
  1317. 1:07:57able to get from these lectures and
  1318. 1:07:59apply it, it means I've done my job. It
  1319. 1:08:01means I've served my purpose. Hey,
  1320. 1:08:03definitely you are teaching those things
  1321. 1:08:05which can be applied from the very next
  1322. 1:08:07day and we can correlate things now that
  1323. 1:08:09these are the symptoms we learned
  1324. 1:08:11yesterday lecture and what are the
  1325. 1:08:13things and if we able to differentiate
  1326. 1:08:15one symptom from the other symptom the
  1327. 1:08:17thing I think half work is done.
  1328. 1:08:20Yes absolutely absolutely
  1329. 1:08:23so thank you very much once again Dr.
  1330. 1:08:25Nisha and we will be desperately waiting
  1331. 1:08:28for the next lecture.
  1332. 1:08:29So I was just saying a big thanks to
  1333. 1:08:32you.
  1334. 1:08:33Thank you
  1335. 1:08:33and uh
  1336. 1:08:34and and all the lectures and other
  1337. 1:08:36things like if some written material or
  1338. 1:08:39some you know the material you were
  1339. 1:08:41saying that we can take a screenshot if
  1340. 1:08:44something in the PDF format or some
  1341. 1:08:46lecture format we can have
  1342. 1:08:48study material if you can have
  1343. 1:08:50so that will also help us
  1344. 1:08:52to understand things better. Absolutely
  1345. 1:08:55doc. So I I'm very happy to share these
  1346. 1:08:58books uh that I have. Um I'm happy to
  1347. 1:09:01actually so if we can so what I have
  1348. 1:09:04done previously is sort of remove the
  1349. 1:09:07videos and put the powerpoints with
  1350. 1:09:09their information and then as a quick so
  1351. 1:09:12we started using cheat sheets. So you
  1352. 1:09:16know so we can make cheat sheets out of
  1353. 1:09:18these and make it into PDF formats and
  1354. 1:09:20people can download print them and put
  1355. 1:09:22it in their practices and refer
  1356. 1:09:25it help us a lot.
  1357. 1:09:28Yeah.
