Understanding Swimmer’s Tail in Dogs 🐕
If you've noticed your dog struggling to move their tail or it seems limp, they may be experiencing a condition called swimmer’s tail (also known as limp tail). This issue is often caused by overexertion, sudden physical activity, or swimming in cold water, which can lead to muscle strain in the tail.
Signs to watch for:
* A drooping or limp tail
* Sensitivity or pain when the tail is touched
* Difficulty wagging or moving the tail
While swimmer’s tail can be uncomfortable for your dog, the good news is that it is usually a temporary condition. With rest and some physiotherapy or gentle massage, most dogs recover fully. If you notice these symptoms, give your dog some rest to avoid further strain.
If you're unsure or if the symptoms persist, always consult your vet for advice!

Meet Max! He’s here for laser therapy to help with his bilateral luxating patellas, which he has had surgery on. Max loves his laser sessions and also undergoes hydrotherapy and McTimoney therapy, both key parts of his treatment plan. It’s amazing to see him benefiting from such a dedicated team working together for his recovery. In his downtime, Max enjoys trick training and has even recently learned to play the drums—what a superstar! 🌟

It's been a really enjoyable couple of days teaching this group of future vet physio's some of the practical aspects of their training. These days focussed on canine anatomy - developing palpation and finding those textbook landmarks and muscles in real life whilst day two focussed on common orthopaedic conditions and techniques used to identify joint pathologies and abnormalities.
Thank you to the students for their fantastic input and to the doggy models who were ever so patient with us! 🥰

Patient of the week this week is

🌟Ned! 🌟

Ned is one of the longer term residents at Hope Pastures Equine rescue centre.

He suffered some abusive and traumatic handling until he found safety in the kind and caring hands of Hope Pastures. He has gone from a terrified and unhandleable animal to a trusting and confident sweet donkey. 🫏

The staff have handled him sympathetically and used positive reinforcement techniques taught by my good friends at Connection Training to help him achieve this.

Here he is, not quite enjoying his treatments but confidently tolerating them 🤣

With great thanks to the wonderful staff and volunteers at Hope Pastures for these photos and videos... In which I look considerably more happy than our good pal Ned. 🤣

Ned is part of the Hope Pastures adoption scheme and you can adopt him here...

This week’s ⭐️Patients of the Week⭐️ are Mia and Diesel, a mother-and-son duo. Mia is 14 years old, and Diesel is 9. They were both rehomed just two weeks ago and both suffer from osteoarthritis. Despite her advanced OA, Mia remains energetic, while Diesel is a little anxious and holds a lot of tension. However, both were able to fully relax and enjoy their visit, allowing me to treat them thoroughly. I assessed their gait, conformation, muscle tone, and body condition, and treated them with massage, Myofascial Release (MFR), and Laser Therapy to help alleviate their osteoarthritis symptoms. They are both so lucky to have found their forever home and have certainly landed on their feet! 🥰🐶

At Thrive Animal Therapy, we offer Laser Therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy, which provides a range of benefits. This non-invasive, painless treatment helps alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. As an added bonus, laser therapy also boosts endorphin levels, promoting a sense of well-being (the "happy hormone").

Laser Therapy can be used to treat various conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis
• Joint pain
• Neck and back pain
• Ligament/muscle sprains
• Hip dysplasia
• Elbow dysplasia
• Wounds
• Post-orthopaedic surgeries

Here are a few photos of our patients making the most of their treatment sessions 🐶🐴

Summer and Archie definitely needed their equafleeces on today 🥶❄️

Did you know the effects of cold weather on your pets?

-Keeping your pet warm and dry is essential for their comfort and mobility.
-Cold and damp conditions can worsen joint pain and stiffness especially those with arthritis or joint issues.
-Providing extra warmth with a coat or jumper for outdoors or drying your pet after walks, can significantly improve their well-being and manage the symptoms of joint pain.

Now let’s see your pets wearing their Winter best! 🐶🥰

Teamwork = progress
When I first saw this mare a couple of years ago she wanted nothing to do with me. It was as though she found all touch or contact aversive. Her body and mind were so out of kilter and as a result, she was tense and anxious. Her owner has diligently searched, researched, experimented, patiently selected advice and followed protocols, tried abstract innovations and gradually with a combination of nutritional adjustments, careful management, environmental adaptations, regular bodywork from myself and her owner, different tack and new training regimes.... This is the result. A calm, relaxed, accepting soul, communicating with me and participating in the treatment.
This has been an incredibly satisfying transformation for me to be part of - exemplifying holism.
