Hi All,
If you get an email message from someone that you know on a social media site that says something like “is this you dancing on this video” or some other similar message don’t open it. It will start a program that simulates a massive computer virus attack that looks like a Microsoft security box asking you to stop it by clicking ok. If this happens don’t click it. Go to task manager and shut down all of those pages. Then run your normal virus software to ensure no breaches.

The right mandibular canine tooth in this cat doesn't appear diseased. A close look shows a slight amount of inflammation distal in the gingival just distal to the toothMucoperiosteal flap exposure with careful dissection with a blade and feline periosteal elevator reveals the crown and allows for crown reduction with a round carbide bur.Severe destruction of tooth and the lack of a peridontal ligament space and not evidence of endodontic disease make the canine a candidate for crown amputation.Severe destruction of tooth and the lack of a peridontal ligament space and not evidence of endodontic disease make the canine a candidate for crown amputation.

Hard and soft palate secondary cleft puppy dog
by Brett on Nov.20, 2009, under Veterinary Dental Cases
This 8 week old puppy presented with a cleft palate involving the hard and soft palate, also know as a secondary palatal defect. Due to minor signs at the time the surgery was delayed until 16 weeks of age to provide more tissue for closure.
The soft palate is closed in two layers, nasal and palatal after splitting the two with metzenbaum scissors.
The palatal mucosa is dissected off of the bone. A 1 mm debridement of the margin with a diamond bur allows for healing prior to epithelial migration into the defect. An incision is made as shown and a full thickness palatal graft obtained sparing the major palatine artery.
The edges are opposed and sutured, burying the simple interrupted knots.
Healing at 2 weeks is complete.
