We were recently delighted to be introduced to Hawkins, a stunning Belgian Shepherd Dog. This breed comes in four variations: the Malinois, Tervuren, Laekenois, and Groenendael. The Groenendael, which Hawkins represents beautifully, is characterised by its long, solid black coat.

These four types are regarded as variations of a single breed. Historically used for herding, Belgian Shepherds are now commonly employed as working dogs in roles such as security, search and rescue, and assistance.

Hawkins came in for a baseline gait analysis due to concerns about hip dysplasia. We're pleased to report that he performed very well and will now simply be monitored for any changes in his movement. He's a superstar on the treadmill—and judging by this picture, he’d hold his own on the catwalk too (and he knows it!).

Lovely to meet you Hawkins! 🐾

If anyone deserves a prize for the best name, Nacho Chunk must surely be a contender! This little character is a Boston Terrier who recently came back for a review of his hindlimb gait.

He previously underwent extensive imaging, including MRI studies, to determine the cause of his hindlimb pain, but unfortunately, no conclusive findings were made. Last year, he began an intensive course of physiotherapy, and at his previous visit, he appeared to be responding well.

He returned for a review to assess whether the lameness had resolved, and we’re delighted to report that he’s doing amazingly well—his hindlimb balance is now fully restored. He will be reassessed in a few months to monitor any changes.

Nacho’s case highlights the value of having a baseline gait analysis, which helps detect subtle improvements or deteriorations, enabling more effective management decisions for each individual patient.

Great job, Nacho—it was lovely to see you again! 🐾

We recently checked back in with this giant, beautiful ball of fur! Henry is a stunning Bernese Mountain Dog who first presented last year for an assessment of his hip dysplasia. He subsequently underwent stem cell therapy and is doing really well, although a few gait abnormalities have started to creep back in.

It’s important to remember that intra-articular therapies don’t replace the need for additional support, including lifestyle and exercise management. Some dogs may still require pain relief, as other areas can remain painful.

Henry was an absolute superstar on the treadmill, and it was fantastic to see him again! ✨

This week we were delighted to be joined by Maria Henriksen, a Sports Vet Specialist, and Helle Laustsen, a Veterinary Physiotherapist. Maria and Helle are from Denmark, and they have recently started to use the same Zebris CanidGait system that we use here in the clinic. This has been a fantastic three days of collaboration and ideas exchange in this niche field.

The use of gait analysis in mobility assessment is an invaluable tool and the visit has allowed us all to benefit from shared experiences and insights. There was also ample opportunity, especially over some excellent dinner courtesy of the Chequers Inn in Woolsthorpe, to discuss different clinical scenarios, treatment options, and to discuss the utility of intra-articular medication.

Many thanks to Maria and Helle for coming all the way to see us, it was a pleasure✨

Yesterday we were thrilled to meet the mighty Moose who is an Autism Assistance dog and his owner Noah. Moose has undergone extensive training to be able to support Noah and has had a huge impact on his life. Moose had been showing one or two abnormal gait signs, so he came in for a baseline and a check up and we are happy to say all was well. It is always a real honour to meet working dogs, no matter their role, and it was especially good to meet such a great team as Moose and Noah!

Look who’s back! 🐾

It’s everyone’s favourite retired Police Dog hero, Quantum! This special dog had his elbows treated with us earlier in 2024, and this update comes from his recent follow-up check in late 2024. We’re thrilled to see he’s doing so well—and we hear he’s even taken up dancing in his retirement! We didn’t see that coming, but we love it!

Quantum, you continue to amaze us, and it’s always a pleasure to have you (and Jen) in the clinic. 💛

Radley’s Visit! 🐾

Just before Christmas, we had the pleasure of meeting Radley, the sweetest Bernese Mountain Dog. She absolutely smashed her session on the treadmill and quickly became a clinic favourite! Her incredibly soft fur must be perfect for this cold weather we’re having in the UK. ❄️

We don’t see Bernese Mountain Dogs very often, so we thought we’d share this lovely moment with you all. Isn’t she a beauty? ☺️💛

One of our favourite Collies came in recently and as you can see, she just loves giving cuddles. Her name is Yikes! Because she’s just, well, Yikes!

Lovely to see you Yikes!🥰

Happy New Year from all of us at Nupsala MSK Clinic! 🎉

We’re starting 2025 with a special introduction—meet Wizard, a joyful Dalmatian who visited us for a baseline assessment following tarsal surgery. Dalmatians are a fascinating breed—highly active and intelligent, they need as much mental stimulation as physical exercise. As Wizard’s owner wisely said, “For every five miles of physical exercise, you need the equivalent in mental challenges!”

Wizard was a joy to have in the clinic and a wonderful way to kick off the year. Did you know? Dalmatians aren’t born with their iconic spots, and their patterns are as unique as fingerprints! 🐾

At the heart of Nupsala MSK Clinic is a commitment to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of animals who give so much to us. On 5th Dec we were delighted to team up with Sarah Marlor from Stretch and Flex Physiotherapy to deliver talks on common injury types and injury prevention in working dogs to Police Dog handlers from Lincolnshire and Humberside Police forces.

This was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness about the sorts of injuries that working dogs face, and to give the handlers the best chance of picking up subtle injuries early. A really interesting and educational afternoon to help safeguard these animal heroes!

Supporting the working dog community remains a key focus at Nupsala MSK Clinic. On 4th December, we were honoured to be asked to present to a Working Dog Expert Panel at the World Customs Organisation meeting in Frankfurt.

While diaries didn’t allow for in-person attendance, the power of Teams enabled us to share insights on the clinic’s work, the role of mobility assessments in monitoring working dogs, and how we can continue to support working dog communities.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with likeminded experts, all dedicated to promoting working dog health and performance. Thank you for the invitation! 🐾

Understanding Hip Dysplasia in Dogs 🐾 Hip dysplasia is a common developmental condition in dogs, where the hip joints don’t form as they should. This can lead to looseness (laxity) in the joint, causing abnormal wear, discomfort, inflammation, and eventually arthritis.

In this video, we demonstrate two key tests used to assess joint laxity:

1️⃣ Barden’s Test – This involves gently lifting the top of the thigh bone (femoral head) to check for excessive movement. A positive result indicates the joint is looser than normal.
2️⃣ Ortolani Test – This involves pushing the thigh bone into the hip socket and then moving the leg to check for a noticeable ‘clunk’ as the joint slips back into place.

These tests are performed under anaesthesia or heavy sedation to ensure your dog is comfortable and the results are accurate.

If you have concerns about your dog’s hips, speak to your vet & enquire about getting referred to us – identifying hip dysplasia early can help manage the condition and improve quality of life. 🐶💙

Bringing Comfort and Joy with Stem Cell Therapy This Christmas 🐾

This is Otis, a beautiful boy who has severe osteoarthritis of the elbow secondary to elbow dysplasia. He’s just 4½ years old and underwent surgery at 6 months, which helped at the time but couldn’t prevent the progression of arthritis later in life.

When we first saw Otis six months ago, he was 2-3/5 lame on his left foreleg at walk and trot. His discomfort had made proper exercise difficult, leading to significant muscle loss. We trialled a licensed stem cell product, and now, six months on, he’s made great progress. He’s sound apart from a very mild head nod at a fast trot, is exercising well, and has regained muscle through physiotherapy.

While these therapies don’t cure arthritis, they slow its progression and help improve comfort and mobility. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on Otis and may need to repeat the treatment to maintain his progress, but he’s off to a great start
