Shoulder tendinopathy is something we often see in very active or sporting dogs, and can be a frustrating thing to treat. The god news is that research is showing conservative treatment can be as effective / or more effective than surgery.

Supraspinatus and biceps tendinopathies are pathologies of the tendons of the shoulder in dogs. They usually occur in active, large dogs as chronic injuries.

Does your dog hate nail trims? Training them to use a scratch board might be the answer!

Playing around with some Wimba things today! The digital scan requires the leg to be wrapped in patterned vet wrap, but for the larger dogs that is a lot of vet wrap and it’s fiddly! So I’m experimenting with kids leggings, and I happen to know a dog that loves to wear clothes, and would be more than happy to have me experimenting with him!!

The actual scan requires only one leg to have the patterned wrap at a time, and I need to tweak the leggings so they fit the lower leg a little more snugly, but it’s looking promising.

Enjoy this little video of the best Rottweiler sporting his pants and looking like he’s ready for a night on the town 😂.
