Article Synopsis
- Medial meniscal injuries are common in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease, and this study investigated how palpation of the caudomedial joint line relates to those injuries.
- Ninety-one dogs with this disease were examined, finding that those who experienced pain during palpation were 34.5 times more likely to have a medial meniscal tear.
- The study concluded that tenderness in the medial joint line is significantly associated with meniscal tears, though it had some limitations, like not measuring palpation pressure or including a control group.
Evaluation of measurements for tracheal hypoplasia in French bulldogs.

Tracheal narrowing may increase airflow resistance, resulting in clinical manifestations associated with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). When diagnosing tracheal hypoplasia, established values are based on measurements established for English bulldogs or non-specific "bulldog" breeds. The objective of this study was to investigate tracheal diameter ratios in French bulldogs to gain a better understanding of what would constitute tracheal hypoplasia in this breed.
