Tangaroa is a 9 year old Pekingese who was referred to Dr. Richard Jerram from Western Veterinary Clinic (Avondale), after his owners had noticed his left hind limb was lacking strength and Tangaroa had lost his motivation to go for walks 👎🏻
After a full musculoskeletal and gait assessment, as well as putting Tangaroa through some more targeted neurological tests, it was decided that a CT scan would be the best diagnostic tool moving forward to help localise and identify specifically what was going on with Tangaroa.
The CT scan of Tangaroa’s spine revealed that he had widespread intervertebral disc degeneration - even though there were multiple sites of mild spinal cord compression, the site of greatest significance was in Tangaroa’s lumbar spine and this was the site contributing to his left hind limb weakness. After his day stay, Tangaroa was able to go home and was scheduled for surgical intervention at a later date.
After Dr. Jerram had performed a hemilaminectomy of the L2/3 site, Tangaroa stayed with us in hospital for 1 night and the following day where he received inpatient Physiotherapy with Georgia. We were pleased to be able to send Tangaroa home with his awesome owners relatively soon, as he was doing so well post-op – what a champion! 🏆
Tangaroa is now 2 weeks post-op and is coming to see Georgia for Physiotherapy each week to help him on his road to recovery. At the 6 week mark, Tangaroa will return for recheck with Dr. Jerram to make sure he is progressing as expected post-op – we can’t wait to see how he continues to improve! 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused whilst we carry out urgent maintenance works at our Mt. Albert hospital.
Repairs are currently underway in our Mt. Albert reception, waiting areas, and consult rooms which will unfortunately cause slight disruption to our normal front of house services this week.
For you and your pet’s comfort and safety, all appointments with our clinical teams will be operating in a somewhat contactless manner as we will not be allowing clients inside of the hospital during this period.
If you have a scheduled appointment, you will receive a text message prior to your visit with instructions of what to do when you arrive at the hospital.
