🎄 Merry Christmas to all our clients and friends! 🎄

As many of you know, we’re expecting twins! Due to a quicker-than-expected progression, I’ve had to begin my time off a bit earlier than planned—fortunately aligning closely with my usual Christmas closure period.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch should you need any assistance or referrals during this time. I’m hoping to return toward the end of February, depending on the arrival of the little ones.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy festive season ✨

🔶 MYCOTOXIN ALERT FOR PET OWNERS 🔶

Mycotoxin poisoning can affect pets quickly and severely. These toxins are produced by mold found in spoiled food and sometimes contaminated pet food. Knowing the signs could save your pet’s life.

🐾 COMMON SYMPTOMS OF MYCOTOXIN POISONING

🟠 Gastrointestinal:
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite

🟣 Neurological:
• Tremors
• Seizures
• Weakness
• Incoordination

🔵 Respiratory:
• Coughing
• Sneezing
• Difficulty breathing

🟢 General:
• Lethargy
• Fatigue
• Weight loss

🟡 Other Possible Signs:
• Skin irritation
• Excessive salivation
• Increased thirst & urination
• Jaundice (yellowing of eyes/skin — possible liver damage)

🚨 What to Do If You Suspect Exposure

1️⃣ Contact a veterinarian immediately.
Mycotoxins can act fast. Tremors, seizures, or severe vomiting require urgent care.

2️⃣ Gather information.
Take a photo of any suspicious food or vomit/stool.
If pet food is involved, note the brand and lot number.

3️⃣ Identify the source.
Mycotoxins are commonly found in:
• Moldy food (bread, nuts, dairy, leftovers)
• Spoiled trash
• Contaminated commercial pet food

4️⃣ Prevention is key.
• Keep pets away from moldy or spoiled food
• Secure trash cans
• Store pet food properly and check for recall notices

💛 If your pet shows any of these symptoms after eating something, don’t wait — seek help immediately.

✨ Post-Physio Relaxation Moment ✨

There’s nothing quite like seeing a horse fully let go after their physiotherapy session.
This sweet soul melted into the ground today, breathing deeply, processing, and releasing every last bit of tension.

These quiet moments remind me why I love what I do, helping horses feel safe, comfortable, and free in their own bodies. 💛🐴

Bond the English Pointer is really enjoying his physio sessions! 🐾

All the way from Switzerland, where he used to receive regular therapy for his 11-year-old joints and muscles. Bond is one of his parents’ five Pointers — such a special bunch! 💛

It’s so lovely to see owners taking preventative measures. Physio isn’t just for recovery after injury — it’s also an important way to preserve healthy joints, maintain mobility, and pick up on potential issues early before they become serious.

Best part of my day - arriving to a client to help her puppy who has done something strange to her leg and the pups older sister who knows me very well being a rehab alum would not leave me alone! Wanted all my attention for herself. 🤣💕

July has been hard.

This month I’ve had to say goodbye to four incredibly special souls — Matisse, Ralie, Bailey, and Robbie.

These weren’t just patients to me. They were familiar faces I looked forward to seeing, tails that wagged when they heard my voice, eyes that told stories of years well lived. We’d built bonds over time, through treatments, chats with their humans, little routines they got used to in my hands.

Each of them held a place in my heart. And now there’s an ache where their presence used to be.

I know the heartbreak their families are feeling, because I feel it too. Watching them grow older was a privilege. Letting them go… that part never gets easier.

To Matisse, Ralie, Bailey and Robbie — thank you for the love, the trust, the quiet moments and the chaos. You were all deeply loved, and always will be.

Rest easy now and run free. 🐾💔🌈
