This Remembrance Day we are taking a moment reflecting and honouring not only the sacrifices of soldiers but also the animals who served by their side. Never forgotten, rest in peace 🕊️

I often meet dogs and their families when they are nearing the end, it is always heartbreaking but I am also so grateful and privileged to be able to help dogs feel more comfortable in their final days and to help my lovely families through the process of saying goodbye. As a vet nurse I can help with arrangements, answer any questions and discuss any concerns families may have surrounding the most difficult decision we face as pet owners.
I am so grateful to this wonderful family for these kind words, Ossie was such a sweet chap- run free Ossie bear 🌈

So grateful for this wonderful feedback from Duke's family 🙏
I treated Duke earlier this year for a shoulder injury and it makes me so happy to hear that he is back to living life to the full and pain free, that's what it's all about! 🥰

Meet lovely loopy Lottie who joined me in April to help with an issue with her back right leg. Lottie is completely unaware that she is 11years old and insists on living life at 100mph, despite having some arthritis and muscular issues. She has made good progress with regular massage, laser and therapeutic exercises and is now more balanced and moving better. I love seeing her for regular top up treatments and hearing about all her naughty escapades 😜

Meet Taylor! I recently met Taylor and have been treating her for some muscular discomfort likely relating to a previous injury when she was younger. Maintenance massage and laser treatment are a great idea to help keep dogs active into their teenage years (believe it or not Taylor just turned 12!). I may be slightly biased as she is a pug cross but this girl is really adorable and has a sweet nature to match- just look at that little face! 🥰

Meet gorgeous Kiki, a gentle and sweet labradoodle who started treatment with me recently to ease her arthritis and support her mobility. Over the course of the last few weeks Kiki has really relaxed into her treatments and now tends to enjoy a snooze during her massage 🥰

Wow- time flies! This month marked a year since Bailey's knee surgery (11th Jan to be precise). As you can see there's no stopping this girl! Bailey enjoys life to the full with a little help from regular pain relief medication and some massage and laser therapy as needed to keep her comfortable. Bailey is a great example of how the right combination of careful management, meds and complementary therapies can mean dogs with arthritis can have great quality of life (and still act half their age!!). Go Bailey!!😍

Dotty, working hard at some of her exercises! Pole work is useful in re-eductaing the gait and encouraging awareness of foot placement and balance. We combined this and other targeted exercises with laser therapy to encourage nerve healing

Meet Dotty, this sweet girl sadly suffered an acute spinal episode early this year causing compromised nerve function to her right hind leg. Dotty showed signs of her right hind leg being unable to take her full weight and the foot knuckling under as her sensation and control of the leg was compromised. This can happen for a number of reasons and it is crucial if you notice any signs like these in your dog (or cat) to seek veterinary care without delay.
Having done just this Dotty was diagnosed with a suspected FCE (fibrocartilaginous embolism)- this is where a fragment of fibrocartilage, associated with the intervertebral discs in the spine, breaks off and causes obstruction to the local blood supply, which in turn compromises nerve health and function. The causes of FCE are not fully understood but it is thought that minor trauma such as (overexertion, jumping, twisting etc) is often a factor. This can happen to any breed and age of dog. Prognosis for recovery is often good. Intensive physiotherapy and laser therapy as soon as possible are both recommended to improve return to function by reducing swelling and inflammation, promoting nerve healing and re-learning an appropriate gait pattern. With lots of hard work from her owners Dotty has made amazing progress in a short space of time and has now been signed off to gradually return to her normal, active lifestyle!

Cuteness overload anyone? 😍
This is Duke, who has been having some rehab with me recently to help with recovery from hip surgery. Duke is doing amazing and has gained a lot of confidence as we have worked through his immediate post op period with a combination of laser therapy and targeted exercises. Well done Duke! 🏆

Look who's under the tree! 🌲 🎁🐾 lovely Amber started therapy with me a few weeks ago to help with recovery from knee surgery. When she's not drinking her festive cocktail (aka Christmas tree water) Amber can be found working really hard on her exercises, as you can see from the pic on the right 👏🏻 well done Amber and family for all your hard work!
