Running into the weekend like…
I always love to receive owner updates about how their pets are doing. It’s great to see Lily enjoying herself at the park and living her best life 🐶
I’ve been seeing Lily for over a year for ongoing maintenance acupuncture treatment for her hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. She receives regular acupuncture as part of her multi modal treatment plan.
At over 11 years old she is doing fantastically well and we have seen a great improvement with her comfort and mobility.
Have a fabulous weekend Lily and look forward to seeing you next week 😀

Acupuncture treatment for hip dysplasia. Riley 🐶
Hip dysplasia in dogs causes hind limb pain and weakness.
Riley (AKA Raghallach) was diagnosed with hip dysplasia when she was 6 months old. This affected her mobility and personality due to pain.
Riley has shown a steady improvement with her comfort and movement since starting acupuncture treatment. Her pain relief medication has been reduced gradually and she is enjoying her walks more and playing like a puppy.
We measured her progress with a pain score system designed by Liverpool University (LOAD). Her score reduced from 18 to 2, after four months of acupuncture treatment.
This is an improvement of joint disease presence and severity from moderate (score range 11-20) to mild (0-10).
What symptoms should I look out for that could indicate hip dysplasia?
Symptoms of hip dysplasia include:
* Decreased activity
* Decreased range of motion
* Difficulty or reluctance rising, jumping, running, or climbing stairs
* Lameness in the hind end
* Swaying, sometimes with a “bunny hopping” gait
* Loss of thigh muscle mass
* Pain
* Stiffness
Do you have questions about hip dysplasia?
Send me a message or email [email protected]
Acupuncture appointments available at The Urban Vet in Earlsfield and Westside Vets in Battersea.

Has my pet got arthritis? Your questions answered 🐾
Is my dog becoming arthritic ❓
Early symptoms of arthritis can be difficult to spot.
We may noticed slowing down on walks or difficulty rising initially.
What should I do?
Regular health checks for senior pets alongside monitoring mobility at home are important.
How do we treat arthritis in pets?
Each individual needs a multi-modal treatment plan tailored to them. This often includes pain relief, environmental adaptions, physical therapy and alternative therapy treatments. More info will follow on this in the future.
