Just a quick notice to apologise for the delay in sending out invoices, appointment reminders, insurance claims etc this week. I am in the process of catching up on everything and aim to be back up to date by the end of the week, but this is just a heads up that things may still take slightly longer in the meantime.

Unfortunately we have had a bit of stressful week here after Rue was unexpectedly diagnosed with lymphoma. As you can imagine, it’s been a difficult few days with a lot to take in and process. Thankfully she is under the excellent care of and started her chemotherapy treatment first thing yesterday morning. So far she has been doing great and has been her usual greedy self and out enjoying walks and running around with the other dogs. We are currently keeping everything crossed that the chemotherapy works and she gets to have a longer, happy life. Naturally we will stop treatment if it ever causes her any suffering, but chemotherapy is generally well-tolerated in dogs and so far you wouldn’t know she’d had anything. Please keep her in your thoughts ❤️

Ronnie was in the clinic this afternoon for his monthly physiotherapy session. He is muzzled due to a history of reactivity but is never a problem during his sessions and always cooperates nicely - even if he looks a bit unimpressed! I am always happy to work with dogs with behavioural issues and different temperaments. It’s a great idea to get your dog used to wearing a muzzle should they ever need one and teaching them to accept being handled and assessed at home can also go a long way towards preparing them for physiotherapy, the vets, groomers and any other hands on situation.

Apologies for any inconvenience but unfortunately we have been without WiFi for the last day and it currently looks as though this could continue through the weekend and into next week due to a collision involving a network telegraph pole. We also have quite poor phone service in this area so as a result I am limited in my ability to keep up with admin and respond to messages and emails. I will do my best to get back to everyone as soon as possible, but there will be delays so please be patient with me.

It’s drying coat season again! Just a little reminder that I stock Ruff and Tumble drying coats for purchase in the clinic. These are great for putting on after your dog’s hydrotherapy session to keep them warm and dry in the colder months. They are also handy after wet and muddy walks, or baths at home. It’s particularly important to prevent older dogs and/or those with orthopaedic issues from getting cold and damp in the winter to avoid any associated joint pain/discomfort.

One of the benefits of buying a drying coat in the clinic is that you can try them on your dog to ensure you get the correct size first time. I only have a limited selection of colours in each size, but I do have most sizes in stock from dachshund sizes to GSD.

For those who have asked after him, Ripley has completed his 5 sessions of radiotherapy and is doing well a couple of weeks later. It’s been a difficult time for him, but he has coped remarkably well and should feel better for it in the long run.

Thank you to for diagnosing and referring Ripley and for taking such good care of him during his radiotherapy sessions.

Tuesday 30th - 12:00

Yet more fantastic results from sponsored dog, Flame, last weekend - this time in obedience! Also pictured is Disney, who I have been treating for a while now following her luxating patella surgery and is still competing successfully in obedience.

As I always say, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy doesn’t just benefit dogs with injuries or conditions - it can also play an important role in keeping sporting and working dogs fit and injury-free. In fact, it can even be beneficial to bring healthy ‘pet’ dogs along for a checkover every once in a while to keep on top of their physical health and catch and treat any potential niggles and/or imbalances before they become a problem.

If you’d like my help or advice with anything physio related, you can reach me via messenger, WhatsApp, phone or email. Please note that I am working with patients a lot during the day so I can’t always answer the phone, but if you leave a message I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING ILLNESS

I have already sent this out in my monthly newsletter but, for those who missed it, I’m sharing it here as well to make you all aware.

As many of my clients will already know, I’ve been struggling with my health for the last 18 months and have recently been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I’ve now been put on two different immunosuppressants to try to manage the disease better while I wait for an appointment to discuss surgery later in the year. As a result, my immune system is now weakened and I’m more susceptible to illness and infections. Please can I ask that if you are unwell with anything that may be contagious that you contact me to reschedule your dog’s appointment. Alternatively, should you still wish for your dog to be treated, you are welcome to drop them off for me to treat without you. I appreciate that most of you will already reschedule if you’re not well, but I just wanted to make everyone aware to take extra care.

Please note that I am still working as normal and this shouldn’t affect the day-to-day running of the clinic. Thank you all for your understanding as always!
