🐾 Post TPLO & thriving! 🐾

Luna is walking beautifully with no lameness, full weight-bearing, and enjoying longer walks (even hills!). She responded really well to her physio treatment after her surgery at Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch 💪

🎉 Rehab complete — officially graduated!
Some maintenance physio is recommended to keep her comfortable and moving well.

So proud of this superstar patient 🐶✨

As summer is here = Hot weather = extra care for our pets! 🐶☀️
As temperatures rise, a few simple steps can help keep your pet safe and comfortable:

💧 Hydration is key – always provide fresh, cool water (and take some with you on walks).
🌳 Seek shade – limit time in the sun and make sure there’s a cool, shady spot to rest.
⏰ Walk smarter – choose early mornings or evenings and avoid hot pavements (if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws!).
🚗 Never leave dogs in cars – even for a few minutes, temperatures can rise dangerously fast.
❄️ Help them cool down – cooling mats, damp towels, or a paddle in safe water can help.
🐕 Watch for heat stress – heavy panting, drooling, lethargy or vomiting are signs to stop and seek vet advice.

Let’s keep our four-legged friends cool, safe, and happy this summer 💚🐾

Life on Three Legs 💪

Physio isn't just about recovery; it’s about giving your tripod pet the best quality of life. Losing a leg means a big adjustment — their body must rebalance, putting extra stress on remaining joints and muscles.

Physio helps by:
• Building strength & balance for safe movement
• Preventing injury through better body mechanics
• Creating a tailored plan for your dog’s needs

Ongoing physio = long-term comfort:
Like a tune-up, it helps manage arthritis, maintain mobility, and catch issues early — keeping your three-legged friend active and happy for years 🖤💙

Our lovely Greyhound girl, O***a is feeling fantastic! 🐾💖

O***a underwent a SDFT release surgery at Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch. An SDFT release (Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon release) is a surgical procedure performed for painful corns in the digital pads.

After ongoing physiotherapy with Abigail, O***a is back to her happy self — her family says they’re so happy to have their girl back!

We’ll keep her on regular physio check-ins every few months to keep her feeling comfy and moving well✨

🌸 The power of physio: Roxy 🌸

This little lady visited us with hip pain and a possible partial cruciate rupture. She has been much more comfortable lately following her physio and lost more weight, which is fantastic for those hips.

Roxy's sessions focused on laser therapy for her hips, stifles, and back, plus massage and gentle hip mobilizations to ease tightness and improve range of motion.

She is doing so well - continuing her home program with balance and strength work and seeing us for regular maintenance visits 💪🐾
