Well that was a fun old week, what with flooding and the dreaded FLU bug - so much for getting back to normal!
Did manage to see a few patients this week though - keeps me going!
Carly had started at the centre having some laser therapy and hydrotherapy to help with her back legs which are getting weaker.
She’s is doing really well in the treadmill - really starting to find her 🐾 ❤️
Little Olive the Boston’s last session today - will miss her cheekyness!
Olive been coming to clinic for help with a patella problem which initially we managed conservatively, but then she has to go for surgery.
Our aim was painrelief, help her to use the limb again and to rebuild her muscle.
We’ll all of those boxes were ticked yesterday so she has been discharge!
She’s been a great little patient to work with ❤️
Love getting updates on my patients when I’m away

Woody was back in for session 2 today.
He’s come on leaps and bounds since last week!
He now doesn’t need his sling for suppprt and is moving his back legs really quite well.

Gorgeous Jake strutting his stuff on the treadmill yesterday - he comes for laser and hydro to help with a forelimb lameness
Olive going great guns on the treadmill today using her leg really well
Olive had her introduction to the hydrotherapy tank today and was a very brave girlie!
She has knee surgery a few weeks ago and is not too keen to place her hind leg, so we are using laser and hydrotherapy to control her pain, reduce inflammation, increase healing and keep her muscles strong.
We used the static plate to immobilise her front legs so she had to use her back legs, she did really well so impressed with her
Little dog HUGE spirit 💕🐶💕
Kishi joined us this week to start on a course of laser and hydrotherapy to help with her hind legs. She suffers from luxating patella’s and has also had cruciate surgery to one leg .
In her agility days the fitness helped to keep her sound but since she has retired her owner noticed her becoming more lame again.
So we are working on pain management, inflammation reduction and healing with the laser and muscle building with the hydrotherapy!
She was an absolute star and took to it so well!
Love getting updates like this!
Larry doing his own hydrotherapy yesterday and not a chicken treat in site 😬🤪
