🐕🐶EXCITING NEWS🐶🐕

As some of you know I have been studying with Canine Conditioning Academy to become a canine conditioning coach, which focuses on strength and fitness.

This can be for the sporting dog, with proven performance improvements, family pets, geriatrics and puppies. Ensuring that your dog no matter what their age or if they are a competitor, has good muscular strength and control will assist in reducing the risk of injuries that can occur during everyday life or during a sport.

I have now completed the foundation part of this course and am looking forward to start the next level. Having completed a number of foundation case studies I am excited to share some results with you.

The following dogs had some great results progressing through the exercises that were given to them and have had huge postural differences indicating they are stronger. We cannot change conformation but we can change posture and influence the ways muscles respond to conformational issues.

Below are four of my cases showing how their posture has changed over a 6 week course of exercises.

🐶🐕. I will be starting conditioning classes and individual sessions soon, so get in touch if you want more information. 🐕🐶

Yesterday I had the pleasure in treating the lovely Jessie. She is in a many tears foster home near me and has had a poor life of not much exercise and being breed a lot. She is super sweet and will be great once she has gained some strength. If anyone is looking to add another four legged friend espa German shorthaired pointer to their home please let me know. She is very sweet, great with dogs, has the typical high drive of the pointer. She is very affectionate and was very good for her treatment.

I've been a little quiet on here recently sorry, just been trying to take some time off social media to relax and also been crazy busy seeing all your lovely animals.

Here are a few pics from the last few weeks and some fab results from clients too.

In light of the heat for the up coming week. I am trying to do early and later appointments to try and avoid preventable heat related issues. I would rather move your appointment than you travel your dog in a hot car etc.
Please do get in touch of you want to change your appointment. I will be contacting some of you that I think need to move.

Like I always say you can take your exercises on the walk with you. Here is Harper taking the opportunity to find a log to do paws up on!

18/07/2024

Phew today was a busy and hot one. Tomorrow is going to be hotter. Please everyone be sensible exercise dogs and horses early and try to keep out the sun. Make sure them and you have access to shade and water at all times. Heatstroke is preventable in all species, be sensible!

Picture of a lovely piece of cake given to me by a client today. Kept me fueled for a while. Thanks Jo Parker it was yummy.

Vet Times recently shared that one of the UK’s biggest referral centres has reported that the number of leptospirosis cases it has treated has more than trebled since the COVID pandemic .

💬 Dr Clarke added: “Given the increased incidence of L2 vaccinated dogs contracting leptospirosis, the medicine team at Davies strongly advise use of the quadrivalent vaccine (L4) to protect dogs from as many serovars as possible.”

➡️Leptospirosis is a disease spread via a bacteria called Leptospira

➡️Leptospirosis has been classified by the BSAVA (British Small Animal Veterinary Association) as a core vaccine – one that all dogs should receive, regardless of circumstances or geographical location.

➡️The purpose of vaccination is to protect individual animals and populations of animals from lethal or disease-producing infections.
Some infections are zoonotic e.g shared with humans.

➡️Leptospirosis carries a zoonotic risk and control of the disease in the animal population is a means of limiting human infection.

❌ Veterinary professionals encounter misinformation about leptospirosis vaccination that can be worrying given the potential for both animal and human health implications

Sometimes we hear misinformation such as 'Leptospirosis is not a dangerous life threatening disease'.

➡️Canine leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution.
The term zoonotic (also known as zoonoses) are caused by germs/ viruses/ bacteria that spread between animals and people.

➡️ As mentioned above Leptospirosis is Zoonotic meaning it puts ourselves, our children, our relatives and veterinary professionals at serious risk.

One member of Veterinary Voices UK stated:

💬An acquaintance of mine is currently in an induced coma in ICU with Leptospirosis. I think the zoonotic potential is often underestimated.

➡️It can cause numerous serious issues such as renal and hepatic disease, coagulopathies and other abnormalities

➡️Case mortality rate ranges in various studies from 10–43.3+%

➡️A UK study noted a 29% mortality rate with clinical signs of the disease including inappetence, vomiting, lethargy, polydipsia and polyuria, abdominal pain with hepatic (liver) and renal (kidney) involvement.

🗳️When polled 100% of Veterinary professionals from Veterinary Voices UK believed Leptospirosis to be serious and life threatening.

These are professionals who have been the front line in dealing with these cases in practice and have diagnosed, intensively nursed, treated, medicated and fought to keep these Leptospirosis cases alive. Sadly many have to be euthanased due to multiple organ failure and poor prognosis.

Although there have been cases of vaccinated dogs contracting leptospirosis, it is still important to ensure your dog is covered, the majority of dogs who contract leptospirosis are not vaccinated.

Thank you for all the offers for help with my case studies. I have a teeny bit more info. Please let me know if you think you still want to be involved so I can create a list.

You must be willing to participate in an 8 week home exercise program that you will be given. It will require just 10 minutes four times a week. Often may be incorporated into your walk or done at home.

I will need people to start in the middle of may.

Please let me know if I can still contact you closer to then and inform you of how it is going to work.

Many thanks

Exciting news for Akc Veterinary

This year I will be studying (I know more study) with the Canine Conditioning Academy to become a conditioning coach. I am excited to add this to my repitiore of services I offer to enable my canine patients to be in as great as condition and strength they can to carry out their chosen sport or fun activity, be that gun dog work, agility, IPG or a healthy fit pet dog.

The course is a year long and requires me to have a number of dogs to use as case studies for the various levels throughout this next year.
I will therefore be looking for some keen owners who would be willing to help me. If you are interested on working on your dog's condition and fitness and want to know more about what's involved please do get in touch.

It's gonna be fun I promise and I am so excitee to start.
