Think about it 🤔🤔

An interesting view allows us to observe the attachment of the cutaneous trunci muscle onto the hind leg blending with a fascia covering the stifle.
But also gives us a great view of how the transverse pectoral muscle attaches to antebrachial fascia.

Journey of the nerves (cont.)

This image nicely shows how large nerves have extra protection and cushioning from the fatty tissue that is within the connective tissue surrounding the plexus brachialis, the layer diminishes towards the periphery.

We can still see that all nerves are located within the fibrillar network of connective tissue, they are connected to it, and they do not run separately.

As the nerves travel to the final destination they have to cross different layers and spaces - I labelled pectoral nerves bringing innervation to the ascending pectoral muscle. It is nicely visible how those nerves are 'wrapped' within the connective tissue and the moist appearance tells us that there is a healthy amount of hyaluronan in it. That is so important to allow the nerve (as well as vessels) to travel through the layers, and move, and follow the movement of the muscle during contractions.

Hello lovely clients!

With summer approaching us I wanted to let you all know that I will be taking the majority of July off. I will be doing some travelling with my family and enjoying our Yukon summer! I will update my calendar to reflect that, current clients can book in here https://calendly.com/taigaequinetherapy
(please note it only allows you to book 60 days out).

If you do have any emergencies (non vet) during this time please reach out and I can see if I can help. Thank you all for your continued support ❤️

Starting on August 1, all dogs entering the U.S. (including those that left the U.S. and are returning, and regardless of the country they are coming from) must be:
• healthy upon arrival
• at least 6 months of age
• microchipped
• accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and required vaccination and veterinary documents.

Additional requirements may apply depending on where the dog has been in the last 6 months and whether or not the dog was vaccinated in the United States.

Use CDC’s Q&A tool (the CDC “DogBot”) to determine what rules apply to your dog: https://bit.ly/2rww2bq

A great visualization of the issues you can run into with harness! When I see shoulder issues one of my first questions is if the dog is walked in a harness...

With some new faces on my page I think it is time to reintroduce myself! I am a long time Yukoner who always had a passion for helping animals. In 2018 I graduated from an intensive 4 year equine program that gave me over 6000 hours of learning about anatomy, physiology and gaining hands on experience. In the last few years I have explored some canine programs and adapted dogs into my practice! I look at your 4-legged friend as a whole and love to solve the puzzle.

It takes a village. This is something that has come up a lot recently, the importance of having a team to work with. A vet, farrier, saddle fitter, body worker and a coach are all resources needed to help keep a sound horse. Having people on your team that you can rely on makes such a difference, and don’t forget about looking after yourself as the rider! What does your key team look like?

Sundays are best spent with chocolate mousse and these fellas in the “waiting room” as we call it.

So proud of this team! You ladies crushed it 🎉

A great visualization done by the Osteopathic Vet on how much connects within the body. This is a great diagram to show how important it is to look at the horse as a whole, sometimes the issue isn't at the site of where it shows the most in our horses and it is really coming from somewhere else.

One of my favourite places to spend a weekend! Michelle and her team love the dogs so much, book yourself a holiday ride with her happy dogs!

It wouldn’t be a vacation without stopping by Humanimalis, thank you for always sharing your wisdom! And a huge thank you to Flexiness - Canine Fitness Equipment & Program for a great fitness class! Always great to be able to learn new things 🙂
