A lot of you may already have met Zoe as she regularly works as locum nurse within the practice.

As well as being a registered veterinary nurse, Zoe specialises in laser therapy for animals. See below for more details.

Hi my name is Zoë, I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and owner of Dingo Veterinary and Pet Services. You might have seen me at Vets4Pets Alsager as a locum nurse helping the team out.

For the past 5 years I have specialised in K-Laser therapy, which is a drug free, surgery free and pain free way of treating your pet, to stimulate the bodies natural ability to heal. K-Laser treatment is suitable for any species at any age and works best straight after acute injuries and wounds, but can even make a huge difference in chronic cases. And now I can provide K-Laser treatment in the comfort of your own home!

Common conditions K-Laser can help with:
- Wound healing
- Osteoarthritis
- Lameness
- Post-surgery rehabilitation
- Chronic wounds
- Pain management
-Ligament & Tendon conditions
- Nerve & Spinal cord problems
- Bone & Cartilage repair

The painless application of K-laser promotes increased circulation of the blood flow to the affected area. By doing this it creates an optimal healing environment to reduce swelling, inflammation, muscle spasm, stiffness and pain.

During treatment, the laser light interacts with tissues on a cellular level. It increases metabolic activity within the cell and initiates the increased production of cellular energy. This leads to a cascade of beneficial events promoting the acceleration of the healing process and reduced pain.

There is no sedation or restraint required and the experience is usually a comforting and pleasant. Treatments take between 3 and 8 minutes per site, and though improvement might be seen after the first treatment, patients are required to follow treatments follow a treatment schedule of two to three times weekly for 3 weeks (Condition specific) for greatest benefit.

K-laser therapy can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment.

If you would like to know more or if you think K-laser would be beneficial to your pet, give me a call on 07897932229 for a free phone consultation.

Treatments can either take place in the comfort of your own home or at Vets4Pets Alsager.

Do you have an older cat or dog who might be struggling on their legs a bit?

Maybe your dogs arthritis is getting worse with the colder weather?

I can help!

This incredibly sweet boy is Grahams ❤️

Grahams is a 13 year old Labrador who was struggling to walk or even stand 5 weeks ago. His owner took him to see his vet for a quality of life discussion as his back legs just kept giving way.

Luckily, his vet and I had spoken in the past, and a decision was made to refer Grahams for K-Laser therapy.

Grahams had 6 sessions of therapy over 3 weeks, and look at him go now!

The difference K-Laser therapy has made for Grahams quality of life is incredible and he is able to enjoy his much loved walks again❤️

Send me a message to see if K-Laser could make the difference for your pet too!

Warning: images of wounds

⭐️⭐️Star Patient of the Month October⭐️⭐️

The beautiful Ziggy 😍

Ziggy's owner and I met at the Childs Ercall Village show. Ziggy had a very unfortunate encounter with the electric fence and got his leg caught, which resulted in a rather large wound.

The wound was stitched up by Ziggy's veterinary surgeon, but unfortunately, due to the location of the wound, it opened back up again. (Picture 1 and 2)

The estimated healing time given by the veterinary surgeon was 2-3 months.

We started K-laser therapy on the 18th of September (Picture 3) and treated the wound every day for 2 weeks and the surrounding tissue every other day to help reduce the swelling.

After 2 weeks we went down to lasering every other day for 2 weeks.
We are now 10 days post finishing laser therapy, and Ziggy's wound has completely gone!

K-Laser therapy voor Ziggy and his owner has meant that instead of 2 to 3 months of healing, has been done in a month. Which means that they can go back to enjoying their rides together much much faster than if we hadn't used K-laser therapy 🖤

On this beautiful sunny Monday, I'd love to share a case with you I've been working on.

This is Hattie, an elderly Labrador girl who has the luck of being owned by not one but TWO vets!

Hattie has been struggling with arthritis in her left elbow for a while now. But when she started to develop a rather large swelling over the top of it, her owners knew it was time that Hattie needed a bit more help than just medication.

Hatties elbow was x-rayed, and the lump FNA'd (fine needle aspirate, to look for any cancerous cells). Once the FNA's had come back clear, it was time to get laser treatment started.

Hattie had her 5th treatment this morning, and her owners are reporting a marked improvement to her general wellbeing and walking.

Unfortunately, due to the severity of the arthritis, her range of motion will always be limited. But with the help of the K-Laser, she is much more comfortable and keeps improving.

I was kindly given permission to use Hatties x-rays in my post, in which you can see the extension of the severity of the arthritis. (All that fluffy stuff around the joint shouldn't be there. These are permanent bone changes which are due to the progression of her arthritis)

K-Laser therapy helps dogs with arthritis by giving pain relief, bringing down inflammation, and slowing down the progression of the disease. So the earlier we start treating with the K-Laser, the better it helps your pet.

Doesn't Hattie look adorable in her doggles?

I often get asked what area I cover. This varies between services, but mostly, I'm happy to travel up to 40 miles to come and see you, and even further when it comes to K-Laser therapy (charges apply over 20 miles). I have outlined a rough map of the places I frequently travel to: Telford, Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Wrexham, Chester, Northwich, Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, and everything in the middle.

If you have an enquiry but are unsure if I cover your area, please don't hesitate to send me a message.

Photobiostimulation, or Photobiomodulation (PBM), is a treatment method using irradiation with certain wavelengths of red or near-infrared light. Findings in research have shown that these wavelengths of light produce a range of physiological effects in cells and tissues of animals and humans. It basically refers to the use of light to stimulate a biological reaction in the body.

Scientific research into PBM started in the late 1960s by utilizing the (then) newly invented lasers. PBM rapidly became known as ‘low-level laser therapy”. At this time it was mainly used for wound healing and reduction of pain and inflammation.

Nowadays, much more studies have been done with regards to laser therapy and PBM. There is a wide range of pathologies that PBM and laser therapy can successfully help with.

In my next post I will be discussing the specific wavelengths that are used in a K-Laser and what physiological effects/biological reaction get stimulated by these particular wavelengths of light.

In the next few weeks, I will be delving further into laser therapy and what it is.

🔴Laser is an acronym and stands for: "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.". Which makes it different from an LED (Light Emitting Diode).

🔴Light emitted by normal means such as a lightbulb or any LED is incoherent, or the photons of the many wave frequencies of light are oscillating in different directions. It is not a stream of light. Coherent light is a beam of photons (almost like particles of light waves) that have the same frequency and are all at the same frequency. Only a beam of laser light will not spread and diffuse. In lasers, waves are identical and in phase, which produces a beam of coherent light. It basically means that the laser light will go where it's pointed at.

🔴Just like plants, the cells in bodies react to light. PhotoBiostimulation refers to the use of light to stimulate a biological reaction and increase cellular energy. With the use of the right wavelengths, cells are able to absorb nutrients more quickly and eliminate waste substances. This will result in a reduction of inflammation, provide analgesia (pain relief), and accelerate the regeneration (healing) of tissue.

I will be going into more detail on all these in future posts.

🔴Laser therapy treatments are pain-free and non invasive. All your pet will feel is a comforting warmth and have a little bit of a massage. Most pets tolerate laser treatment very well and often doze off during the treatment. However, even for nervous pets or ones that don't like to be touched where they are sore, laser can offer amazing results by working "off contact.". Due to the nature of laser light, it is possible to treat from a distance and still have the right amount of energy delivered into the cells.

In my next post, I will be talking more about photobiostimulation and the importance of wavelengths.

As always. If you have any questions or want to know if laser therapy is beneficial for your pet/horse, send me a message.

Lovely walk with Coco who proudly showed me the big stick she found, which she wouldn't hand over for love nor money 😅🤣

Note: I don't usually agree with dogs playing with sticks due to the horrific injuries I've seen. Luckily Coco only wanted to carry it around❤️

How handsome does Rommel look in the Laser Safety Doggles?

This very active boy had a lump removed from his flank. Luckily the lump came back as being non cancerous, and to help his wound heal faster, his owners opted for K-Laser therapy. This resulted in his wound healing much quicker with less scarring which meant that Rommel could go back to his normal activities in no time!

Would you like to know if I can help your pet by the use of K-Laser therapy? Contact me for a FREE 15-minute phone consultation. Wound treatments start at only 15 pounds!

⭐️Star Patient of the Month ⭐️

In my new series, I will be discussing an interesting case I have been working on every month.

This month's star patient is the beautiful Jack!

About 2 years ago, Jack suffered from a Fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE)

Fibrocartilaginous embolism is a sudden onset spinal cord injury as a result of a sudden blockage of a vessels blood supply to an area of the spinal cord, which resulted in Jack losing control and feeling of his hind limbs. Over the past two years, Jack learned to cope, and even though his left hind got better and better, his right still struggled. Jack's owners were concerned about the amount he was dragging his right hind and scuffing his toes.

Upon assessment by vet Liz at Alsager Vets4Pets, it was decided that Jack needed a bit more help, and he was referred for K-Laser Therapy.

Jack received 6 laser sessions in total, but his owners could see a marked difference as soon as he had his first treatment. Over the 6 sessions, I would check the muscle circumference in both hind limbs and check his deep pain reflexes. Jack's treatment consisted of lasering the lumbar spine, both hips, knees, and hocks. We really followed the nerve paths to help nerve regeneration.

After 6 sessions, his right leg had gained a lot of muscle, his deep pain reflex was marginally better and his owners reported: "Jack is like a different dog after K-Laser therapy, he is enjoying his walks, he seems unstoppable and was even able to jump up on the sofa without any trouble."

In the video, you can see Jack after his last session, and although it's not a perfectly normal walk, for Jack it has made a world of difference.

Would you like to know if K-Laser would help your pet? Free phone consultations are available, and treatments start from just £35.
