February saw the end of season checks start for our working and sporting gun dogs. We highlight the treatment of these athletes because of the work they do - whether in training or out on the fields and hills, the demands on their bodies is huge.

End of season checks focus on muscle and soft tissue fatigue. Proper soft tissue sessions help to ease tired muscles, aid recovery and highlight any work related issues that can be carefully dealt with before next season. A good recovery is key to a good new season.
Pre Season - we always recommend a break for our working dogs, a bit of down time before starting the conditioning phase of pre season. Pre season involves looking at imbalances during the dogs most “bare” phase and correcting or strengthening these. We work on targeted treatments and exercises to help develop strength, coordination and resilience. Owners are working on steadying and fitness.
Season work involves check ups and support treatments to minimise injury and aid recovery. Late season can see cold, wet weather with thick cover and difficult conditions so it can be a period where tired dogs are more prone to injury or undergrowth and ground can become more hazardous causing soft tissue injuries.

We are proud of our working and sporting community and the care they take of their very special dogs.

“it’s Shoe time!”
At Theravet we are perfectionists about our water hygiene and quality. With all the rain and endless mud recently, it can make water management more challenging, as well as keeping our working spaces clean. Please can we kindly ask all our lovely clients to make sure their dogs are clean when they come for appointments. For our human clients we provide overshoes, but they won’t hold back wet mud on your own feet, so please feel free to bring a pair of clean, non slip shoes for entering the wet rooms. Oh and pray for sun! Thank you ☺️

This one focuses on Dachsunds and the spinal and orthopaedic conditions they can suffer from. We look at the breed, the conditions, the surgical and non surgical approaches and how we can both rehabilitate, and help prevent issues. For tickets and further information about our speakers:

And finally a short video of Ludo working in hydro. Ludo spent several weeks on platform exercises and water walking. Now, to gently stretch his limbs more, his hydrotherapist supports him in a harness and includes short deep water limb cycles towards the platform, from a short distance out. This means that when he places onto the platform he puts more effort into his strides. There was an uplift in his weight bearing movement from repeating these sets over several sessions.

If you are following Ludo’s case story - here he is working on some mid point home exercises helping to improve normal ROM - this was combined with hydrotherapy work to adjust gait patterning, encourage loading and gentle stretch of increasing effort. All physio and hydro is started at a low level and intensity of the exercises is gradually increased as tissue changes, over several weeks. Ludo started with a lot of static work and passive range and moved to more active work in the mid stages of his program. He is an absolute star.

This weekend we are following the stages of Ludo! One of our amazing feline patients. Ludo had a traumatic injury and it had to be resolved using a Femoral Head and Neck Excision (FHNE). This type of surgery is a salvage procedure for dogs and cats that removes the hip's "ball" (femoral head/neck). This alleviates pain and dysfunction from severe arthritis, fractures, or hip dysplasia. It works by eliminating bone to bone contact and instead the body creates a fibrous pseudoarthrosis (false joint). Physiotherapy is a very important part of recovery for these patients as it affects the quality of healing - maintaining elasticity and function while also providing tissue strength and support to the limb and pelvis. It is most suited to small/medium pets, though it can be performed on larger animals. It usually results in good, pain-free mobility if followed by a regular and well implemented physiotherapy plan. Cats can often be overlooked for physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, but as the next few posts will demonstrate- Ludo has proved cats can rehab well and can be super compliant patients!

Hip Dysplasia. This unfortunate condition can affect any breed but is more common in larger breeds such as GSDs and Labradors. Clinical signs also become more obvious and harder to tolerate in larger, heavier dogs. This is Ash - a lovely 8 year old GSD who came to us with bilateral hip dysplasia. Ash had a successful total hip replacement on both hips 5 months apart. He came to us with weak pelvic limb musculature and an internal rotation of the left hind leg due to muscle atrophy. His hind limb would cross over, causing biomechanical issues and so his surgical team referred him on for corrective physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to work on gait patterning and increasing musculature. Ash is doing well and is now enjoying a more comfortable active life with good walks. Working as a multidisciplinary team alongside his surgical team completed the positive outcome for this super boy.
