Did you know that therapeutic exercises are beneficial for healthy dogs too?
Here on the video Eszter, our vet physio is exercising her dog Nero.
Although Nero does not have any musculoskeletal issues, Eszter wants to make sure she keeps him strong and active, to prepare his joints and soft tissues for any possible arthritic changes, due to his age.
In this little exercise set up, Nero is performing movements which requires active range of motion in his joints and strengthens his muscles, but at the same time, his balance and proprioception are also challenged.
❗️ BUT ATTENTION ❗️
We would like to ask you, to please always seek professional advice before trying these exercises at home, as it is really important to consider the dogs age, current condition and medical history before any exercises are prescribed. It is so easy to do more harm than good and these exercises in certain conditions might be contraindicated!
If you would like to know more or want to book an appointment, please give us a call on 01584 872147 or send an email directly to Eszter at

🪡 🐈⬛ Get Right To The Point Pepper 🐈⬛🪡
Pepper is a typically inquisitive cat who’s curiosity cost her one of her nine lives recently!! She managed to swallow not only some thread, which could cause problems in itself, but she ate it while it was still attached to a needle 🙀
Luckily (though it may not have felt like it at the time!) the needle got lodged at the back of her throat. Her owner acted fast and got her to us so we could give her an anaesthetic and remove it before it entered her digestive system and caused even more problems.
She had some pain relief and went home later that day!! 🐾 🐈⬛ 💊 💉
⭐️🌙 Be Safe - Be Seen 🌙⭐️
The dark nights are here for a while now and it pays to remember neither our pets or ourselves are so easy to spot when out. Reflective collars, flashing lights and hi-vis jackets will all help avoid any accidents for cats and dogs alike when out at night 🌙
Thanks for the demo Elfric 💡 🧝♀️
🦔🔥 Remember Remember Hedgehogs This November 🔥🦔
A well built bonfire can make a wonderful house for a hedgehog (or other wildlife for that matter) please check before lighting 🙏
🦇 Meet Honey the bat! 🦇
Yesterday one of our colleagues found a bat near the practice looking depressed and weak lying on the floor. Bats often don't survive when hospitalised as they are usually only caught when they are very poorly or sometimes juveniles become trapped or disorientated when looking for a roost and end up grounded.
This is a common pipistrelle bat, which is the most common species in the UK, as you can see they are tiny weighing around 5 grams! Care must be taken when handling bats as they can carry strains of lyssavirus which is related to rabies.
However we fed the bat (nicknamed Honey) an electrolyte solution to hydrate it and some honey to supply glucose, which the bat loved as you can see! By the afternoon Honey was very active and was released in the evening.
We enjoy seeing wildlife at Teme Vets and it's very rewarding when we get the chance to release wildlife successfully.
