Some how the month has wizzed by and I have been remiss in sharing my appreciation for this wonderful human being. Most of you know Julie our rehab tech. She has been with me since we opened almost 9 years ago. Julie is an incredible, caring, compassionate, creative person. She is an amazing rVT with mad clinical skills. She is a fantastic mom to her kids and a supportive member of our team. Tech appreciation shouldn’t be limited to a week or month. They are the beating heart of every clinic. We could not do it without them.
Thank you Julie! For everything you do ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A lot of our sport dogs can get tight, sore muscles.
Dr Christina was able to help Levi feel better with a little massage and acupuncture on his triceps muscle.

We had Corgis in the pool today, but can you guess what kind of Corgi?

🐶 🐕 🐶

If you guessed Cardigan Welsh Corgis, you’d be correct!

There are two breed called Corgis, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. They are entirely separate breeds that despite what many think, have actually never been interbred. They have remained genetically separate since their creation.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are most recognizable as the dogs famously owned by Queen Elizabeth. The younger of the two breeds, though still ancient, with the earliest traces dating back to ~1000ACE. They originated in flatter terrain, they are slightly smaller with less stocky build, have more rounded ears, and historically have docked tails. Pembrokes also have a more square build when viewed from the side, with a distinct squared rear end. The only accepted colours for Pembroke Welsh Corgis are Red, Sable, and Tricolour.

Cardigan Welsh Corgis, our visitors from today, are older by about 2000 years, with first traces as far back as ~1200BCE. They are from rockier, rougher terrain, slightly larger with heavier substance, more pointed ears, and always have long tails. Cardigans have a more rounded and curvier appearance when viewed from the side. Cardigan Welsh Corgis have a large variety of accepted colours and markings.

It was delightful to see this fun Corgi Crew in the pool today!

In this photo Julie measures the muscle mass of Esme the Springer Spaniel.

When dogs have injuries or imbalances, muscle mass will vary between sides due to off loading of the effected limb. For dogs that have had injuries, muscle mass measurements can help us determine whether the injury was acute or chronic.

Muscle mass measurements also help us track progress in rehabilitation. As the dog progresses through the program, we recheck muscle mass to ensure that the dog is improving and gaining muscle on the effected side.

Esme's right thigh has historically been 1cm larger than her left thigh, despite having no prior injury. Through targeted exercises and a small diet change, Esme is now even in muscle mass in the hind end. Esme does dog sports so it is important to correct these issues before they become a larger problem.
