I love to get updates from my clients... especially when they're celebrating their showing wins!

Well done Jane Hedges and Suri! After a few less successful outings, one treatment later and her movement was spot on, earning her the win she deserves!

Keep your dogs safe in this heatwave

🐕HEATSTROKE IN DOGS🐕

We've been banging on about this for years! HEATSTROKE is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY! Fortunately, now more and more professionals are communicating the same message!

Whilst the need for rapid cooling with COLD water (1-15°C) has been recognised for decades in equestrian and human medicine, the dog world has lagged behind, and very poor information still circulates. e.g. "cool the paws", "cover with wet towels", "avoid cold water as it will cause shock"

THE KEY MESSAGES ARE............

💦"WET THEN VET"💦

💦"COLD WATER IMMERSION" (1-15°C)💦
(If you can't immerse, keep pouring ANYTHING COLD over the dog - hose, soft drinks, milk, etc)

💦Dogs die of heatstroke because they were NOT COOLED QUICKLY ENOUGH, NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE COOLED!

♨️RISK FACTORS FOR HEATSTROKE IN HOT WEATHER♨️

♨️Large dogs
♨️DOUBLE-COATED breeds
♨️Brachycephalic breeds
♨️June, July, August (UK)
♨️Exercise, being outdoors, left in cars

EDIT: - If a dog is PANTING, it's struggling to control its body TEMPERATURE! 💦HOSE IT TO COOL IT DOWN!💦

❤️PLEASE SHARE - Spread accurate information; potentially save a dogs life!❤️

If you don't believe me, look at the research: Beard S, Hall EJ, Bradbury J, Carter AJ, Gilbert S, O'Neill DG. Epidemiology of heat-related illness in dogs under UK emergency veterinary care in 2022. Vet Rec. 2024;e4153. https://bvajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/vetr.4153

Meet Rudi, he’s been through a lot recently including spinal surgery at the end of last year. Although I’ve treated him many times before he’s been anxious about anyone touching him since his surgery. At first he was scooting his body away from me and really not wanting to be treated but as soon as he realised I was making him feel better he actually turned his end quarters to me for my attention. By the end a happy very relaxed and much more comfortable Rudi ❤️

A new study conducted by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has shed light on the potential benefits of electroacupuncture for treating equine trigeminal nerve-mediated headshaking (TMHS). This painful and often debilitating condition causes affected horses to experience uncontrollable head shaking....

Crufts means lots of dogs the last few weeks of all shapes and sizes.
These gorgeous Dalmatians, a liver and white and a black and white 2 of the many dogs treated this week so far…. can anyone name the third colour a Dalmatian can be?
