Physio for Pets

My office this morning. Caught this guy sneaking stealth mode into my work basket which I had hidden in a paperbark tree.Such a cheeky monkey and a lovely curiousity of a young horse. He wasn’t the patient by the way.

Another surprise message from client from 12months ago who was awaiting surgery for her dog.

Again fabulous outcome as being a diligent owner and continuing her rehab , has really paid off in that her dog no longer needs surgery.

Well done.

A few words of gratitude , mean so much to me!!

Just when I was starting to feel abit flat and tired………I get a surprise message from a new client I just saw on Thursday.

Some gentle joint mobilisation to the neck to address a nasty DOGGY WRY neck type pain.

Feeling good!

Just another 2 weeks before Xmas, so if you need a review for your pets, best to book in soon as clinic will be closed for month of JAN.

Feeling like a proud parent.

Mr Bob Lawnmower is fully healed. The spinal wound he sustained from being mowed over is close and I had the happy news that Armdale reptile centre have released him back onto the property that he was found in.

His keeper is astounded as wound healing assisted by laser therapy the last 6 weeks or so has sped up the recovery.

Hence this lovely guy can be released this coming summer back into the wild.

I hope he does super well.

Farewell buddy.

Sharing a simple strategy for lifting bowls up for cats.

I use a small round container to lift up the bowl for the little dude so he can offload his front leg as a front limb amputee.

What sort of bowl stands/ ideas do you use for your pets?

It’s a great way to passively posture your pets who may spend a lot of time in front wheel drive.

With the weather warming up, bobtails are on the move and often end up in people’s backyards.

I was told just this week, there has been one bobtail each day brought in from dog bites/ attacks ( and they say cats are destructive towards wildlife).

It may abit hard to see but there are puncture wounds on this new guy.

Adding to punctures from dog bites, is that these sultry little reptiles are also shaken quite aggressively by dogs during the bite which can cause neurological issues.

So do check your backyards and be vigilant about what your dogs are doing in the yard as these bobtails , bless them are designed so badly, because other than their thick scales they really have no defences against dogs and cats.

So caring about your local wildlife means being responsible as a pet owner.

Mr lawnmower bobtail.

Again looking fabulous with scabs of scale coming off to reveal a nice level of healthy tissue covering the spine.

Check your lawns especially if you have long grass before mowing to avoid injuries like this.
