This week has been super fun!

On Wednesday, in between full and long days of appointments I travelled up to Oxford to present my Masters research at the Animal Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Conference at mctimoneycollege 📑

I managed to speak to a packed lecture theatre without babbling on for too long and my research was very well received. So well received, that it was awarded with Best Research Presentation! 🏅

A huge thank you goes to all the lecturers for their assistance, but also to those professionals who helped me conduct the research all those months (maybe a whole year?!) ago! You know who you are ❤️

In conclusion, order of treatment really might matter 🤔

Those whose dogs have had appointments with me with know that I am always looking at the sit! This posture can be extremely useful in the assessment of your dog’s comfort.

Things I look for might include:

• offloading from one hindlimb (like below)
• poor stamina to maintain a good posture
• rounding of the spine
• curvature of the spine
• sitting on the back of the pelvis
• reduced flexion of a joint
• rotation of a joint
• poor sit-to-stand transitions
• fidgeting to get comfortable in this posture

These things can never be looked at in isolation and will always be considered alongside a huge variety of other clinical findings. Context is always very important! 👏🏻

Have you noticed any of these with your dog??

Had to hold back the tears this week! 🥹 I was very kindly nominated to receive a little getaway from Room to Reward from the staff at Margaret Green Animal Rescue.

Making a difference, one pup at a time 🐾

This , we were delighted to present our wonderful volunteer, Lauren Cranny Veterinary Physiotherapy, with a Hidden Heroes award from Room to Reward!

Lauren offers her time, skills and kindness every single week (sometimes twice a week!) by providing physio to the dogs in our care at Lincoln Farm.

She’s made such a difference to our rescue dogs, by working alongside our team and vets to diagnose and treat various conditions.

Lauren's amazing support has been helping us to improve our dogs' lives and ensure they can live them to the fullest!

She has also hosted multiple talks to raise money for Margaret Green Animal Rescue.

Room to Reward is a local charity that helps organisations, like ours, to recognise and thank their volunteers, by awarding donated breaks in unsold rooms from their hotel & holiday park partners.

We can't thank Lauren enough for her dedication, and we hope she enjoys her well-deserved break away!

Tyrion was never the biggest fan of exercises, however with the right combination (and treats) he now requests more!

This fluffy little man has progressed so well, putting on measurable muscle mass in his back legs 💪🏻

So important to consider movement changes in canine amputees.

“They can cope well, but they will cope differently” 🐾

🐕New research from the Royal Veterinary College has revealed that three-legged dogs use different movement strategies at different speeds, including a gallop-like gait at higher speeds that resembles movement in four-legged dogs.
It gives important new insights about limb loss which could help inform both rehabilitation strategies for canine amputees.
🤖 The findings may also help inform the development of adaptive legged robots capable of responding to limb loss.

Thought I would share a photo of the lovely Baloo the Leonberger out showing recently.

Baloo has qualified for life at Crufts and has started physiotherapy to keep him in tip top condition for the show ring 🏆
