Abstract
We report the use of neurolytic ethanolic suspension (NES) to promote acetabular desensitization in a dog with canine hip dysplasia (CHD). A male Dogo Argentino presented with a 120 days history of pain and lameness not responsive to conservative treatment. Acetabular chemical neurolysis was performed with a single application of NES The degrees of sensitivity and lameness were evaluated at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours post-injection, and at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 days after the procedure. The use of NES in the hip joint capsule resulted in remission of lameness seven days after treatment, and was still effective at 180 days. This technique still requires further study, but demonstrates good prospects as a therapeutic option in the management of pain caused by Canine Hip Dysplasia.
