It’s a pleasure to see him doing so well in our Hydrotherapy pool.

💧Wet Dog Wednesday💧

Dearest Ryder has us wrapped around her paws when it comes to feeding her biscuits during her exercise 😋

This week, Ryder's little shadow a.k.a Vesper felt that if she stared at the biscuit long enough, she could steal one out of Amelia's hand 😆

⚠️ Quick Customer Update ⚠️

We have just been informed by Southern Electric that emergency repairs need to be done today on our estate. This means we will have no power until late this evening 😥

Therefore, we are unable to access phones, emails, and conduct sessions/grooming treatments 😩

We'll be contacting clients that have appointments today. Unfortunately, this situation is out of our control, but we understand how frustrating this is for clients who have planned their trip to us 😓

We sincerely apologise to our customers, and hope to be back to normal as of tomorrow🤞

Starting off our week with a beautiful beagle, Bonnie! 😍

Bonnie visits our centre for a pampering session, or as we like to call it...a Woozelwash 🫧

These sessions include a wash, blow dry, ear clean, nail clip and brush for short haired dogs 🐕 perfect for those dogs who don't need a haircut, but need the occasional clean 😆

If you would like to book your dog in for a session with us, please give us a call to arrange an appointment 😌

🙌 Would your dog benefit from a mobility aid? 🙌

As some of our patient's conditions deteriorate, it can be beneficial to support them using a ramp for the car, an abdominal sling, or a buggy 🤗

Thanks to our generous clients, we have a selection of mobility aids for our patients to trial at home 🤗

Our most recent addition to our loan kit, is Daisy's buggy 💛 Daisy was such a sweet girl, and loved her adventures to the beach thanks to this equipment 🏖 we are lucky to offer tools to help future patients in need 💕

Just ask one of our rehabilitation team members, if you're interested in a mobility aid for your dog ☺️ and a big thank you to clients new and old who have given us this opportunity to offer this service 💗

💧Wet Dog Wednesday💧

Here's a video of pocket rocket, Saffron 🧡 after her session, she decided to wait for someone to open the gate, so she could do a few extra laps in the warm water 😂

If Saffron had her way, she would be happily swimming in our pool for hours 😆 Saffron had hip surgery as a puppy, but thanks to rehabilitation, she now lives life to the full! 🤩 and most importantly, she's pain free and happy 🥰

11/09/2024

We are lucky to care for and build friendships with your dogs during their time with us 💖 but the part of our work that often isn't shared is the grief that is felt following the loss of a patient 😞

We are deeply saddened to report that our beloved Woozelbear team member, Bobby, passed away yesterday 💔 after a short battle with his health, Charlotte made the bravest, and most difficult decision to let Bobby go 🌈

This post is a tribute to Bobby, the most courageous, kind, loving springer you would ever wish to meet ✨️ he inspired so many of us, helped hydrotherapy students with their training, and posed for numerous photographs that feature in our brochure 🐾

"How lucky are we to have someone that makes saying goodbye so hard"

Bobby 💙 2012 - 2024 💙

🐾 Meet the patient Monday 🐾

Meet Badger 🦡

Badger was referred in May following a diagnosis of suspected intervertebral disc disease 😥 this left Badger with a wobbly hindlimb gait, muscle wastage, and an inability to place her hindlimb paws correctly 😟

We started to see Badger twice a week in the underwater treadmill💧our aims were to improve proprioception (limb awareness), improve her gait, and her weight distribution 🐾

During the initial assessment, we used the stance analyser to measure Badger's weight distribution, these were the results;
LF 35% RF 40% LH 16% RH 9%

Normal weight distribution is;
LF 30% RF 30% LH 20% RH 20%
As you can see, Badger's condition had caused some significant changes to her weight distribution 😣

Following a block of hydrotherapy sessions, we re-assessed Badger's progress on the stance analyser;
LF 32% RF 35% LH 18% RH 15%
These results show how well Badger has improved 🥳 she has also gained muscle mass and has improved proprioception through her hindlimbs 🥰

🌊 Fun Swim Friday 🌊

Is there a better way to start the weekend than having a fun swim? Maximus doesn't think so! 😀

💦 Splash into Saturday 💦

Levi the Labrador, loves nothing more than to play with a squeaky toy during his sessions - here he is, in the Aquatic Treadmill, having a wonderful time 🤩

Levi was referred by Eastcott Vets following surgery to stabilise his hock joint after a road traffic accident 😳 we have been working alongside Three Shires Veterinary Physiotherapy to improve Levi's strength and weight distribution, and we're pleased to say that he's making great progress 🥳

Levi likes to make the most of his session (or in his eyes, playtime 😆) and enjoys throwing the toy at Lianne in an effort to play 🤪 or ensuring that he (and everyone else in the vicinity) has a good soaking💧

24/06/2024

Can Hydrotherapy treatment be fun in the Aquatic Treadmill? 🤔 the answer is YES! 🤩

Smudge has been receiving physiotherapy and hydrotherapy treatment💧 following surgery to stabilise her knee due to a ligament rupture 😟 Smudge's owners started an intensive course of treatment to ensure she had the best possible chance of recovery 💕

Here are her muscle measurements initially:
LF 22.5cm. RF 22.5cm. LH 45cm. RH 46.5cm

Here are her muscle measurements now:
LF23.5cm. RF 23.5cm. LH 48cm. RH48cm

This is fantastic progression 🤩 Smudge's efforts (with thanks to a "bit" of cheese 🧀) mean that she can return to her showing career 🥳 and after all her hard work, we celebrate with a play session whilst the water is draining💧just look at how happy she is 😍

💞 Therapy Thursday 💞

We have recently purchased a new therapy bed for our Physiotherapy and K-Laser patients from the Big Dog Bed Company ✨️

This specialist bed is designed with a pressure relief cushion, which gives an ideal combination of support and comfort to our dogs 😌 (the therapists quite like it too!)

Here are some of our wonderful patients, testing out the new bed - I think it's a success 😀 featuring - Carrie, Sully, Ned, Fyn, Piper, Joey, Layla, Freddie and Fib 🥰

🐾 Meet the patient Monday 🐾

Meet Branwen 🖤

Branwen was referred in February following lameness after exercise ☹️ witnessing your dog limping is distressing at any time of their life, but especially when they're young 💔

CT scans revealed that Branwen has bilateral (both) elbow dysplasia, but her mum wasn't sure if there was something else causing her lameness and pain, too 🤔

Branwen underwent investigatory keyhole surgery, which revealed tendon inflammation and tendon tears at multiple sites 😣 accurate diagnosis is extremely useful, so our therapists can provide suitable, targeted, and safe treatment 💗

Our team worked together to create a bespoke treatment plan for Branwen whilst liaising with the specialist vets 🏥 we commenced weekly physiotherapy sessions, consisting of cross frictional massage, k-laser, pulsed magnetic field and ice therapy 🐾

Branwen returned to the specialist vets for a check-up recently 🩺 the vet examined her and is pleased with her progress 🙌 Branwen is no longer limping and is gradually returning to normal cocker spaniel life 🥳

💛 Labrador by name, Labrador by nature! 💛 Charlie attends the centre for hydrotherapy in the pool💧unfortunately, his osteoarthritis has advanced in his elbows over the years, which can make exercising on land uncomfortable 😟 In the pool, Charlie enjoys nothing more than playing with a ball 🥎 an activity that can elicit pain through the joints if repetitively carried out on land 💥 The non weight bearing exercise of swimming in a warm pool encourages limb use whilst reducing pain - a lovely relief for Charlie 😌 Here he is, feeling fruity after his swim 🤪 seeing a dog's expression change after their treatment, is the most rewarding feeling 🥰 (Can you tell that Charlie is well rehearsed to where we keep the treats? 😆)

❄️ How is winter affecting your dog? ❄️ We have found that the majority of our arthritic patients are struggling with the drop in temperature🌡 this could be due to heightened pain sensitivity, muscle spasms, and stiffness 😥 Treatment in warm water allows the patient's muscles to relax, thus reducing pain 😌 the buoyancy eases impact through joints, which reduces stiffness💧 Here, we are using our underwater cameras to assess Denny's mobility, allowing us to provide detailed feedback in his clinical notes 📝 If your dog is struggling with the cold weather, please feel free to contact us ☎️ our rehabilitation team are happy to discuss how we can help 💕
