Go Abby!!!

This sweet girl is Abby and she is having hydrotherapy to aid her recovery from cruciate surgery so she can get back to her very important role as a Disability Assistance Dog.
Abby is also having rehab therapy with Tui Pet Rehab to ensure she is in the best physical and functional condition for her lovely young owner.

Today we lost our mascot Mowgli. He was the most loyal, smart, intelligent kind dog. We are absolutely heartbroken, to say he will be missed is an understatement. Please give all my patients an extra cuddle for me today.

Muzzle training!

Bam Bam is a lovely boy and loves people but when things are a little punchy his fuse is short and his teeth sharp. His mum has done an amazing job of making him comfortable wearing a muzzle so that his treatments can be completed safely.

Muzzles don’t have to have a negative connotation they can let us all feel safe and do our jobs thoroughly! Please don’t hesitate to teach your dog to wear one even if they aren’t reactive - pain and stress can mean they bite as it’s their only means of communication - any dog can bite, it doesn’t make them a bad dog.

Cats can enjoy rehab too! It sometimes takes a few sessions to get them used to it but Shaniqua was super relaxed on session 2. She only has three legs so through massage, stretching and laser we help relieve compensatory tightness through her lower back and support the remaining won’t limb so that she can still catch mice!

Hazel! You’re a very good girl!

It’s taken me nearly a week to write this because I wanted to find the right words, but the more I think about I’m not sure there are the right words. So here goes…..

As a rehab vet I get to sit down with my patients, get to know them, gain their trust. I love it - and me being me I usually fall head over heels in love with them. I feel like a part of their life, and even if they don’t like coming to the vet they usually enjoy rehab.

Willow was one of my first rehab patients. She started as a bilateral cruciate and graduated to FCE with paraparesis - needless to say she taught me heaps! She became one of my regulars who would “run” as best she could to my mats - She coined the term “may of happiness.” Willow was stubborn and unladylike and undeniably sweet. My heart breaks to not get to see her again and my thoughts and love go to her family at such a sad time.

Thank you for trusting me with her care. I will miss her so much. 💕

Happy 12th Birthday to our big man! Though you’ve gone almost deaf you can still learn new tricks, including stealing food super fast you’re hoping no one notices. You’re loyal, loving and incredibly handsome! Here’s to another 12!

Supplements….keep the joints lubricated and the brain ticking over!
My sprightly man takes Antinol daily for his joints- worlds of difference in mobility! And we just started Aktivait for cognitive decline cause he started wandering at night which has greatly improved.
He eats both easily in his food.
supply both of these
