Tethered Cord Syndrome: From Literature to Experience

A quick search in the Small Animal Vetrehabbers Facebook community shows eight posts where professionals have asked for advice about Tethered Cord Syndrome patients, or where TCS has come up in the case discussions where Vetrehabbers have become stuck with a particular clinical case.
A quick search on google scholar reveals that more than seven papers have been published in the last six years on TCS in canines.

While it may feel like this condition has sprung up out of the blue - and now every 5th patient is suspected of having it - this isn’t a new condition, and there is a good chance that it is even more prevalent in the canine population than we are yet recognising.

This weeks blog will provide a quick reference point for veterinary rehabilitation professionals who are unfamiliar with the condition. We discuss what it is, how it might present, the diagnostic procedure, surgical correction, and finally the experience of the Veterinary Rehabilitation Community in the treatment of this condition in their clinical practices.

The first part of this blog focuses on the literature we have on this condition.
The second part of this blog shares the experiences of Veterinary Rehabilitation Therapists globally, who have had been working with these cases.

Thank you to each of the professionals that have shared their experience to make this resource possible: Lane; Miceli; Powell-Palmer; Panko; Coeckelberghs; Hedderly - you are all amazing.
