💙 We are now closed 💙

We would like to take a moment to thank all our clients who have shown amazing support since the sudden announcement of the closure of the My Vet Hydro centre, which not only came as a shock to the team but to you all - without everyone's support and kind words we don't think we could have gotten through it as well as we did. The past three weeks have flown by and today at 4pm we closed the My Vet Hydrotherapy and Rehabilitation Center doors for the last time 💙

Many of you have been asking where we are all going! Well as one door closes.. another one opens..

✨ As some of you may already know Lucy Megan Sullivan is staying within the industry working with both small animal and equine 💙

✨ Some of you may also know Gabby McCorkindale is currently setting up a new venture within the industry at her kennels in Charnock Richard with the view of opening in September 💙

✨ Natasha Kerr is off to Lanzarote on Monday with her family and has accepted a position outside of the animal world - which she never thought she would do! She is off to the world of music, festivals, TV shows and production and is hoping to put her business degree to good use - very excited about the new adventure! 💙

✨ Hannah Thompson is very much loving life as a mummy of 2 and is continuing her maternity leave at least until the new year! We are all madly in love with baby and are looking forward to watching her and her big brother grow up together! 💙

✨ Joanna Daley has taken on some locum work at a local hydro centre in Preston next week and is venturing into dog walking in Whalley and surrounding areas! She already has a few clients so if anyone is looking for a dog walker please do send her a message! 💙

Please feel free to contact any of us about anything as we will miss you all so much ✨

Once again we want to thank every client that has been to us over the past 7 years, your support is everything ✨

So as we always say...

It's not goodbye, it's see you soon 💙

Love Tash, Hannah, Lucy, Gabby & Joanna x

💜✨💜 Goodbye Lucy 💜✨💜

Today we said goodbye to our much loved therapist Lucy ✨

Today has been a very emotional day as Lucy has been with My Vet Hydro from the very start and has built this place up from the ground; I'm sure we will all agree she has made a great impact on all of ours and our pets lives and she will be greatly missed by everyone!

Lucy would like to thank everyone who has shown their support and thanks, whether it be verbal or through a card and a gift! Lucy is now off on a much needed family holiday tomorrow to celebrate her youngest's 2nd birthday and to enjoy being a mummy💜

From the bottom of all our hearts from the team at My Vet Hydro, we will miss you so much ✨

But as you say - it's not goodbye, it's see you soon!

Tash, Hannah, Gabby & Joanna 💜✨

Buster and Tash think the only way to spend a Wednesday afternoon is with nose strokes and sleeping while relaxing getting some K-laser therapy 🥰🐾

🌞summer sun 🌞

All of us have been out enjoying the sun and having BBQs this weekend! Enjoying the warmer weather and letting the kids and fur kids run wild! Even being able to peg the washing outside is exciting 😂🌞

What have you done with your weekends and how have you enjoyed the sun?! Let us know🌞🌞🌞

😖 PAIN INDICATORS 🤕

We often assume that a dog in pain would limp or yelp or cry/wimper but this isn't always the case. In actual fact the signs of pain can be much more subtle and can include;

🔹Stiffness
🔹Sleeping more
🔹Difficultly getting comfortable or being restless
🔹Hesitating when performing "normal" tasks
🔹Slowing down on walks or being more reluctant
🔹Changes in body shape
🔹Posture changes
🔹Licking the joints
🔹Behaviour changes
🔹Difficultly toileting
🔹Developing phobias
🔹Noise sensitivity
🔹Coat changes (differences in patterns/direction of fur)
🔹Panting
🔹Loss of appetite
🔹Low head carriage
🔹Asymmetrical wear to the nails (sometimes due to dragging the feet)
🔹Decreased tolerance to handling
🔹Low mood
🔹Anxiety

Unfortunately the list is not exhaustive but we hope it gives you an idea of the wide range of ways in which pain can present itself and what you should look out for. If you are concerned about changes in your dog or cat you should always seek professional advice and mention these changes to your vet or therapist.

🍒Cherrys journey 🍒

It's been a while since we updated you about Cherry! Cherry has continued to progress steadily over the past 6 weeks continuing with both laser and a mix of pool and underwater treadmill sessions weekly - she has maintained a good 6 minutes walking but they have become more controlled!

We are continuing to work with Cherry and are hoping for maintenance in her levels or even better another minute! We can't believe how quickly Cherry has come on and we are looking forward to seeing what we can do for her in the future! Even if she does need some squeaky toy encouragement ⚾🥰

😛 TONGUE OUT TUESDAY 😛

Somehow we managed to get bouncy Bramble to pose with biscuits on each paw and posing while being dried off and receiving some bio mag after a treadmill session.. I don't think this is something we will ever manage to do again😂

🎊Birthday boy! 🎊

The happiest of 13th birthdays to our golden boy Harvey! We hope you're enjoying being spoilt over the long weekend and you're having a paw-some time! 🐾🥰🌞

🍖 OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 🍗

Obesity is an increasing problem amongst the canine population. It is thought that 1/5 dogs are classified as obese. When a dog is >15% over its ideal weight, or it is impossible to feel their ribs through fur, skin and body tissue, they are considered obese. Many factors contribute to the likelihood of a dog becoming obese; breed, lifestyle, s*x, age, diet, genetic makeup and whether they have been neutered.

An overweight dog may have a significantly reduced life expectancy and is at a greater risk of many serious and life-changing conditions including;
💙 Diabetes
💙 Cardio and respiratory problems
💙 Cardiovascular disease
💙 Reduction in immunity making them more susceptible to infections and other illnesses
💙 Osteoarticular diseases such as arthritis

Excess weight increases the mechanical forces that joints are subjected to. For dogs that have an injury or disease such as osteoarthritis this exacerbates pain and contributes to the disease. Fat tissue contains inflammatory mediators that also aggravate pain, these chemicals and hormones are secreted into the body activating inflammatory signalling pathways. Obese dogs are also more likely to lack motivation, energy and become lethargic, couple that with increased pain and a vicious circle is started.

Prevention is absolutely better than cure, it is difficult to lose weight because the body’s metabolic resistance naturally prevents it. With a weight loss plan in place though it is possible. Calorie intake is key, to lose weight the dog must be using more calories than it is taking in, this means carefully measuring the amount of food you are giving your pet. Whilst exercise contributes to only 20% of potential weight loss it is an important aspect but it must be within the dog’s capabilities. For an obese dog with mobility issues hydrotherapy can be a safe and low impact way for them to exercise.

We could look at Misty's beautiful smiling face all day 🥰

Misty might look like she was posing but she was politly asking for another gravy bone as she was sitting so nicely for her k-laser session with Lucy ✨

Misty comes to us to treat osteoarthritis, she started with sessions of K-laser but has recently combined with hydrotherapy sessions on the underwater treadmill and has made huge improvements! 🥰

🥜 Pea-mutt butter anyone?! 🥜

Can you ever come in-between a Labrador and his food?!

Louis certainly doesn't think so! 😂 The only way to keep him moving forward is with a little bit of tasty encouragement 😛
