Remember Big Rig from this past Winter? He was the Alaskan Husky sled dog that was having shoulder problems.
BR’s Owner recently sent me this video & reported “He was solid and raced everything!”

Success!!!

👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

Meet Daisy Mae, the cute little Frenchie, & Ginger, the sweet Dashound Chihuahua mix.

I had the pleasure of treating these 2 little girls in a back-to-back treatment session. Both girls were stellar first time Physio patients!!

Although Ginger was ready for me to be done by the time the Laser came out, Daisy Mae would have happily had a 2nd round if it involved cuddles!!

Another one of my favourite Border Collies is Bodi 💜

I saw this sweet boy several years ago following a suspected acute thoracic disk injury. He has managed well over many years but every once in a while he throws caution to the wind & overdoes it. Thankfully it’s not often!!

Immediate goal……pain management. Initial treatment included acupuncture, gentle joint mobilizations & laser (SpectraVET Therapeutic Lasers) PEMF therapy & of course activity restriction.

His human is following with daily tail traction & laser as well as multiple sessions on the PEMF mat.

Bodi is slowly improving & his human has noticed that he is starting to take some normal steps again (he was demonstrating some hind end weakness & incoordination).

Good signs!! ❤️‍🩹

Meet Dexter.

Dexter is one of the sweetest Labs I have met. Despite a very cranky neck he always has a wag for me.

Happy to report that Dexter’s acute neck flare-up settled quickly.

The trouble with Dexter feeling good? He’s a bit crazy & self preservation is not in his vocabulary! 🤞 💜💜
