This is a great visualisation, and if you add in laser, the repair cycle will be quicker

Always lovely to get these posts. A dedicated owner who put in the time and the results have paid off to have been given the all clear to start rehab.

Progress over ten days. Deep multiple puncture wound to neck. No sutures or staples, just lasered and flushed (twice a day) plus antibiotics

Different laser this evening, use a frequency which can help reduce infection, also added in a frequency to help pain relief… all looking good

Four days following her injury, two wounds have healed nicely, the two which couldn’t be stapled are now going through the stage of looking worse before getting better. They are having to heal from the inside out and both in areas which have a lot of movement. There is some discharge and getting flushed twice a day.

For anyone wondering about Ilse not milking this injury…

05/11/2023

Sometimes, I end up treating my own animals… this time our Weimaraner who had a ‘spat’ with one of the others… who know why… so, after having washed the wounds well at home to remove all the mud, we popped along to our vets as the wounds would benefit from a stitch or two, plus antibiotics. Ilse however was in no ,old to tolerate stitching with just a local, and as she had just been fed, meant we agreed to go home, keep wounds clean, laser a few times during the evening and return in the morning. By morning wounds had improved, very little swelling, so agreed to staple and continue with lasering. We’re very pleased with the improvement in 48hours

I’m such a sucker for a Weimaraner and this one is extra special. Having followed his story on social media, his owners approached for some help with ankylosis. They have a red light unit, and wanted support to use it correctly and safely; we also added in laser. An added complication for Axl is that he has partial agenesis of the corpus callosum or more simply brain damage where the nerves which connect the left and right sides of the brain up are missing or damaged. For Axl, he suffers with seizures and coordination issues which has caused inflammation of his joints.

It was important that we treated carefully so not to bring on any seizures, so we worked with the lasers under a dense towel, and Axl was asleep for nearly all of his treatment. We started the QWL to help him relax and then used the Thor DD on his joints to help reduce the inflammation and discomfort. Axl now has a treatment plan using both red light and one of our vetrolasers and will be treated daily at home for the next week or so when we will reassess.

Just received great feedback from a client who has had a FS QWLaser on hire for four weeks to treat a tear in a check ligament “vet really impressed - he couldn’t find the tear! He wants to know which laser was used… It’s so interesting and so minimally invasive - this needs to be offered to more horses”. LG June 2023. Our client also used the laser on a few aches and pains they had been suffering from and experienced first hand the benefits.

When you drop in on a client to see how they are getting on lasering a check ligament injury and casually ask if they are still icing using the ice bag method… let’s just say… they have this under control!

Chat GPT QUESTIOSN: what is Photobiomodulation

ANSWER: Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), is a therapeutic approach that uses light to promote healing and relieve pain. The therapy involves the application of low-intensity light to the affected area of the body, usually delivered through a device such as a laser or LED light.

The exact mechanism by which PBM works is not well understood, but it is thought to involve the activation of cellular processes that promote healing. For example, light therapy has been shown to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the production of cellular energy (ATP). These effects can help to reduce pain and improve the overall function of the affected area.

PBM has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, wound healing, and skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis. It has also been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of conditions such as osteoarthritis, neuropathy, and musculoskeletal injuries.

While PBM is generally considered safe and non-invasive, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine whether it is appropriate for your specific condition, and to ensure that the therapy is performed by a qualified practitioner.

Enjoyable evening at East Vet Hospital emergency first aid talk.. good reminder and informative. Certainly left feeling that they (the vets) are extremely approachable and aware of the costs

Being able to laser animals in their own homes usually makes them more at easy and comfortable with treatment.

An afternoon on driving up to Canary Wharf to collect this little beauty. An Thor DDv to work alongside the Thor DD. The DDv is a little lighter and will be a little more comfortable for me to carry around when doing equines

Young Ensign has had an operation on his elbow to remove a un dislocated bone chip from the medial coronoid bone. History was of intermittent lameness which was noticed when he was 6months old, but vets felt this could be ‘growing pains’… at 8 months old he had a series of X-rays which came up clear, so treated for possible soft tissue injury, with laser being used over elbow, biceps and shoulder, along with metacam and reduced exercise. He came sound, but as soon as exercise increased he went 1/10th lame. I contacted an Orthopaedic Surgeon whom I have worked with before and he agreed to a CT Scan. Scan showed a small chip, and so underwent keyhole surgery 6 weeks ago. Since then, he’s been on strict (well as strict as we could!) kennel/cage rest, no exercise, and next week starts Treadmill hydrotherapy. Lead exercise can increase slowly now for the next 6 weeks and after that will be allowed some garden freedom time!

Through all of this, he has regular laser, following surgery. He was lasered twice a day for 7 days, then once a day for a further 7 days, and now down to lasering every 3rd day. Once hydro starts, he will be lasered following treatment .

Very pleased with the progress on this surgery site. The client has been a regular of mine for around 2 years, having routine lasering for osteoarthritis. Earlier this this year she developed a lump/cyst on the top of the paw, following vet advice, the lump was removed and biopsy performed. Thankfully it was a hammer cyst, an overgrowth of normal tissue, probably due to a damaged hair follicle. Having got the go ahead from the vet we started lasering twice a week on bandage changes. Within a week of lasering, the wound reduced from 33mm to 20mm and we had a very happy vet and owner. Treatment has been Manukaand/or surgihoney and lasering.

When lasers come back off hire they all undergo a thorough inspection, clean and disinfect. If lasers are being used on open wounds we recommend they have a covering of cling film over the laser head which is changed daily as well as disinfectant wipes. This stops the risk of infection.

A young off the track thoroughbred suffered a nasty overreach type injury whilst in the field. The damage was through the coronary band which developed an area of non-healing tissue with proud (granulated tissue) flesh. This was causing hoof wall distortion and possible future weakness. The photos below show the stages of healing, and following one week of lasering, the proud flash has gone and been replaced with good coronary band tissue. The vet and farrier are happy that the hoof wall will now grow normally with little hoof wall weakness. After an extensive period off work due to this injury, the horse is now back out, and saddler been called to check saddle fit to enable this young horse to re start her education.
Credit must be given to the owner, as all treatment was via one of our QWL FS hire laser, following our initial consultation, treatment and a treatment plan provided to the owner.
