Maysie is thriving after her surgery! After following her rehab programme, sheโ€™s back to hour-long morning walks, sniffy strolls with her Pug bro, and even some controlled zoomies ๐ŸŽพโœจ

Sheโ€™s smashing her home exercises (with a little treat-cheating ๐Ÿ˜‚) and just loving life! Next adventure: a fun loop walk at Mount Thomas ๐ŸŒฟโ›ฐ๏ธ

Huge thanks to our physiotherapist Abigail & the team for helping Maysie shine ๐Ÿฅฐ

Our furry friends are family, and saying goodbye is never easy. To mark this special day, weโ€™d like to share a few of our own much-loved pets who weโ€™re remembering with love today. ๐Ÿ–คโœจ

Just gorgeous! ๐Ÿ–ค

Vega is a lovely post op doggie sent to us from Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch after having her right TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) surgery back in July. Our physiotherapists used Game Ready (ice cold compression), laser therapy and manual therapy the first two days after surgery to speed up Vega's healing process and reduce swelling from surgery. She is feeling so much more relaxed and we love that she enjoys her treatments with us ๐Ÿฅฐ

We have said it before and will say it again! Say NO! to chuck it toys ๐ŸฅŽ

High impact play, ball throwers and toy throwing is a common cause of injuries, arthritis and joint disease in dogs we see too often. Exercise is necessary but sometimes we expect our dogs to run and jump like athletes. Dogs are stoic creatures and sometimes; no matter how much pain a dog is in, they will run after a ball, stick or toy.

If you do enjoy playing chase, try short throws with your hand where your dog is not jumping off the ground, slamming on the breaks or changing direction so quickly that they injure themselves.

So important for our physiotherapists to see your pet straight after surgery. Although it can be scary, it feels as though your pet is already going through so much there is so much we can do in those first few days!๐Ÿฅ

Our therapists can focus on pain management, gentle movement, controlled exercise, cold therapy and laser therapy which makes your dog more comfortable and will speed up the healing process.

Albert the British Shorthair see's us at our Rangiora Physiotherapy clinic after a big surgical procedure for a small feline ๐Ÿ–ค Albert recieved a bilateral FHO for his metaphyseal osteopathy, initially just the right but later on had his left leg done too.

He has been seeing the amazing (cat-obsessed) physiotherapist Abi for treatment and is doing really well. Very happy, got his sparkle back and is back to playing with his sisters at home! โญ
