Twiggy has been very invested in my CPD recently. This particular evening she was learning about prosthetics and orthotics for animals and how best to utilise them as ambulatory devices 🐾

It was great to complete another of my owner informative evening talks last night, this time about Large Breeds 🐾

Did you know between the 2nd and 9th December is the BigGive Christmas Challenge which could see donations DOUBLED for

The work that these charities do is incredible, and I am pleased to be supporting our local animal charity not only through my work as a Veterinary Physiotherapist, but also through the informative talks.

If you can, please consider donating this week so twice as many animals can benefit:

Just thought I would share this for those who own cats! 🐈‍⬛🐈

Canine Arthritis Resources and Education (who I recently wrote an article for) have just announced a specific cat website! This is a fantastic and much-needed resource- cats are not just 'small dogs'!

If you have a cat and are concerned or wanting to learn more about arthritis, please follow the link...

Just thought I would also signpost my clients and fellow canine professionals to the Canine Arthritis Management website, which has SO much information available including this FREE course for pet owners about identifying pain in their dog!

Just pop onto their website using the link below and register to learn more about pain in our dogs and what we can do to help identify and resolve the cause 🐾🐶

The answer is almost anything! Physiotherapy for animals is so broad and no week is the same with my cases!

Here are just a few examples of some of canine cases I saw just last week. All very different, all benefitting enormously from targeted physiotherapy 🐩

Not sure if physiotherapy will be beneficial for your animals? Get in touch to find out! 🐈

Appointments are now open for 2026 (!!) and for those who don't see me on a super regular basis, it's advised to book in to secure a date which is best for you!

Appointments go very very quickly once advertised. Please also be aware that I usually take a little time off around Christmas and New Year so appointments should be made with this in mind 🐾

Please enjoy this collection of images which shows Mustang figuring out why all the other dogs call me ‘the pâté lady’ 😛

A slightly different post for this evening, mainly for my fellow professionals, but one I feel is becoming rapidly important❗

I see 'absolute terminology' used so frequently in all shapes and sizes, even outside of the veterinary world. It might not seem like a big deal, but using these 'fixed' statements surrounding our animals, especially regarding their health, can be damaging. The topic almost doesn't matter- we need to be very VERY careful with how we share information and knowledge.

Using inflammatory statements full of absolute terminology, especially for 'clickbait' may be causing more harm than intended.

Using these terms may narrow ours, our clients and our peers' mindsets and may even lead us to not fulfil best patient outcomes or may even cause harm. What might seem like a harmless statement...

"This condition is always caused by this"
"Your animal is absolutely pain free"
"This is definitely not linked to that"
"This will always affect that"
..Could lead to certain conditions not being considered as differential diagnoses, certain signs of pain being ignored, certain treatment options discounted. I could go on and on!

As a community and as a profession, we need to open our vocabulary, open our thinking, be supportive with our communication and "Do No Harm".

"At best this is a miscommunication, and at worst this is misinformation".
