🐪 Happy Hump Day from all of us at Vet Rehab NI! 🐾

Ever wondered why Wednesday is called *Hump Day*?
It’s the middle of the week — once you get over the “hump,” you’re rolling downhill toward the weekend! 🎉

At Vet Rehab NI, we know that sometimes our **patients** have their own little humps to get over too — whether that’s recovering from surgery, rebuilding strength, or managing arthritis and pain. 💪

Every small step, every tail wag, and every improvement gets them closer to the weekend feeling too! 💙

So here’s to our dogs (and their humans!) who keep climbing, keep working, and never give up — we see you, and we’re cheering you on every step of the way. 🐕✨

🤎 Beautiful Abby 🤎

Abby has sore knees today, so after a visit with our vet Josie, she enjoyed a gentle swim in our hydrotherapy pool to help ease those aches and pains.

With some changes to her medication and a little hydrotherapy support, we’re hoping she’ll be feeling much more comfortable very soon. 🤎

Well done, Abby — such a lovely girl.

Bank Holiday vibes incoming 🐾

Just a little note to say we’ll be taking a short pause this Monday to enjoy the Bank Holiday ☀️

After a very busy few weeks helping lots of lovely dogs feel their best, it’s a good chance for a quick recharge — ready to get back to doing what we love 💛

If you’re out and about with your dog this weekend, remember to:
🐾 keep walks sensible (especially for rehab dogs)
🐾 avoid overdoing it on uneven ground
🐾 and enjoy some relaxed quality time together

We’ll be back to normal from Tuesday and look forward to seeing all our wonderful patients again 🐶

Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend everyone!

Meet Nyx 🐾

Nyx working hard during her physiotherapy session with our veterinary physiotherapist Becky 💪

Here she’s using a combination of wobble boards and unstable surfaces — a really important part of many rehab programmes.

So why do we use them?

These types of exercises help to:
✨ Improve balance and coordination
✨ Strengthen core and stabilising muscles
✨ Encourage correct weight bearing
✨ Support joint stability and injury prevention

By gently challenging the body on an unstable surface, we’re helping dogs like Nyx build strength in a very controlled and functional way — especially important for recovery, performance dogs, and those with underlying weakness or injury.

Every exercise is tailored to the individual dog, making sure they feel confident, supported, and safe throughout 🐕

✨ Life jacket provided for safety and reassurance.
✨ A calm, quiet space — never crowded, never rushed, and always tailored to your dog’s needs.

Meet Dan 🐾

Dan is a lovely 4-year-old Border Collie who came to see our vet Josie with a niggling lameness that just wasn’t quite right.

An active boy, Dan is both an obedience and PAT dog, so any change in performance was quickly noticed. His owner reported that he had started to tire more towards the end of training sessions, and over the weekend he turned awkwardly while out and squealed. He also reacted again when his left elbow was touched.

On assessment, Dan wasn’t visibly lame, but we did find some subtle changes:
✨ Slightly reduced flexion through both carpi
✨ A consistent reaction on full extension of the left elbow
✨ Mild sensitivity through the lower back
✨ Some resistance through the right hip

These are exactly the kind of “under the surface” issues that can affect performance before a clear lameness appears.

We’ve started Dan on a conservative rehab plan, treating this as a soft tissue injury:
💡 Medical laser therapy
🐾 Reduced exercise — lead walks only
💪 Time to rest and recover

He’ll be reviewed next week, and if he’s not progressing as expected, we’ll look at further diagnostics.

Early intervention is key with dogs like Dan — picking up these subtle signs means we can step in before things become more serious and keep them doing what they love ❤️
