💕 The newest member of the Pet Physio team arrived last week - meet the adorable Georgia 💕

01/06/2023

💖 Client appreciation post 💖

💔 Despite the smiles, last week was a sad week as we lost one of our regular physio clients, the adorable 13 year old Jayda. She was such a sweet soul and loved so much by us and her owners.

💓 Her lovely owner dropped in to thank us for all the help with managing Jayda's aches and pains and guidance when managing her end of life care.

💕 It reminds us of the difference we can make to a dog and their owners life and makes us so thankful to be able to help dogs remain comfortable towards the end of her life

💔 We will miss the gorgeous Jayda, but know she is happy and pain-free 🌈🌈

🌟 Hazel - 19 month old German Shepherd 🌟

‼️ Hazel came for her first physiotherapy appointment 12 months ago with a hindnlimb issue after running with other dogs. She went back to her regular vet for radiographs, which showed she had hip dysplasia.

She went to a specialist vet who recommended a conservative approach of physio and hydrotherapy.

💦 Hazel had regular hydrotherapy in the underwater treadmill and then started swimming in the pool at . She has had regular physio checks and her owner has done exercises and massage at home.

Today, we saw Hazel for another physiotherapy review and she is doing so well. No discomfort in her hips and her walking looks much better!

👏👏 We are so happy to see her doing so well and she even completed adventure dog a 4km adventure course and wasn't even sore 😊

🐶 Paddy 🐶

💕 The adorable 1 year old cavoodle has had a fracture in his knee as a puppy which he recovered well from but came for a physio appointment as he has patella luxations (meaning his knee caps move in and out of the right place)

🌟 He was such a sweet boy and during his session we have given him a massage and provided the owner with a home exercise program and he will start hydrotherapy in the underwater treadmill

‼️ Patella luxations can be managed conservatively if they are considered low grade (grade 1-2) and the symptoms aren't too severe. It is important to work with your veterinarian and ensure they have adequate pain relief

18/04/2023

🥰 This gives you an idea of what physiotherapy sessions can look like 😂

🐶 Fanta is the most adorable girl who loves coming for her massage and stretching session. Fanta has had a cruciate ligament injury and a grade 2 patella luxation which we are managing conservatively 🐶

🐕 These conditions can require surgery but we can manage these conditions conservatively in certain circumstances but it is important to determine how appropriate this is and these are some factors:

- Dog's size (smaller size is easier to manage conservatively)
- Severity of symptoms
- Dog's age and physical activity levels
- Any other medical conditions

‼️ Regardless, it is important to work with the local vet and ensure that animal has adequate pain relief and must be restricted from certain activities and it is important to work with a qualified animal physio to help get your pet back on track.

🥰 Mason, the 10.5 year old Boxer 🥰

🐕 He came to see us for hind limb weakness and previously had surgery for cruciate disease 🐕

✨️He is such a sweet boy and will aim to keep him strong and comfortable for as long as possible. He has a home program and we have recommended hydrotherapy in the underwater treadmill 💦

😍 Harvey - the 12 year old American staffy x Boston Terrier 😍

✨️ Harvey has had a hind limb amputation and is doing so well 👏

💦 Harvey comes in for regular hydrotherapy sessions

🪇 Harvey came for another physiotherapy appointment 3 months after his amputation. We had a look at his remaining 3 limbs and he is doing very well considering his age. He had a lovely massage and some stretching and his mum will be continuing this at home

👑 Harvey is a great example of how well dogs can do with an amputation even when they are getting older

🥰 It's a tough day in the office when you get to have cuddles with a 9 week old puppy 🥰

✨ Luckily this puppy was just to support a sibling swimming but it was lovely to have a cuddle ✨

💕 Diesel, 13 year old Staffy 💕

💥 Diesel has multiple disc bulges in his back which we are managing conservatively, these presented as weakness in his back legs 💥

✨ He is doing so well with regular hydrotherapy to help keep his strength in his back legs and massages as his front legs can get a bit stiff from working so hard ✨

👩‍🎓 Graduation Day 👩‍🎓

✨ Today I officially graduate from my Masters of Veterinary Physiotherapy ✨

⏰ This is the end of the 3 year course which include 2 trips to the UK, 2 trips to Queensland, 10 days of placement with veterinarians and 20 place days with fellow veterinary physiotherapists and is on top of my 4 year Bachelor of Physiotherapy ⏰

✅ The course has been challenging at times, including waking up at 2-3am for journal clubs, studying pretty much for 2 years straight with minimal breaks and completing a research project in the final year ✅

🐕 So thankful to have that the support from family and friends and proud that I managed to get it finished 🐕

✨ Cleo ✨

🚩 Cleo is a 3 year old Chow Chow who came for lameness in one of her back legs - she had a previous surgery on the leg a year ago.

💕 She was just the sweetest thing and she is doing some hydrotherapy and a personalised home program

09/11/2022

✨ Java - 2 year old Border Collie ✨

🚩 Java's owner noticed he was having some issues when running 🚩

🗒️ Java had some discomfort in his back which seems to be causing the issues 🗒️

🛠️ We recommended modifying some activities for Java, he had some massage and provided the owner with a home exercise program to help improve the discomfort for Java 🛠️

⭐ It is very common for Border Collies and other working breeds to develop soreness and it is great when owners bring them in early to help manage this so they don't suffer the consequences of these issues later in life ⭐

02/11/2022
