We love hearing you're feedback... 💌🐾 here's one from Brody's owner,
Thank you!! 🫶

"Brody has come on in leaps and bounds since starting treatment, and it’s wonderful to see the progress he’s made. He absolutely adores Nikki, and it’s clear she has built such a lovely bond with him—although I do think the treats might have something to do with that!

We couldn’t be happier with the care and support we’ve received and would highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for exceptional physiotherapy."

It is so lovely to hear feedback like this from our clients, thank you! 🌟

As part of our services at WMR, we offer physiotherapy for both in and outpatients. 🌟

Physiotherapy often includes prescribing remedial exercises; this month we are focusing on balance boards. 🐕
The aim of this exercise is to strengthen the core muscles, improve balance and improve weight bearing on certain limbs. It is similar to the wobble cushion exercise we shared last month, but the board is more challenging due to it's single pivot point and therefore more unpredictable movement.
We do this by using a treat or a favourite toy to encourage the pet to walk onto the balance board. You can perform this just with the forelimbs, just the hind limbs or all limbs. Gently and slowly wobble the balance board side to side, encouraging them to shift their weight. 🐾

Please see the video below for a demonstration and check out our website for further information on our physiotherapy service: https://www.wm-referrals.com/our-services/veterinary-physiotherapy

This beautiful girl, Flora, was referred to West Midlands Referrals after experiencing lameness in her left forelimb.🐕

Following a thorough assessment by Veterinary Surgeon, Chris Lancelott, Flora was diagnosed with an angular limb deformity affecting her left forelimb. Using advanced CT imaging, we were able to create bespoke 3D surgical guides to aid in planning and performing a highly precise corrective procedure.

Flora underwent a forelimb corrective osteotomy, a complex surgery that involved cutting the ulna, carefully realigning the limb into a more normal position, and stabilising it using a metal plate and screws.🦴
The use of 3D planning technology allowed us to tailor the surgery specifically to Flora's anatomy, helping to achieve the best possible outcome.

Flora has a long recovery journey ahead following such a significant operation, but she has already been incredibly brave throughout the process.🌟

We wish you the very best of luck with your rehabilitation, Flora, and look forward to seeing your progress over the coming months! ❤️‍🩹🐶

We recently received this wonderful feedback from Marley's owner... 💌

"I would just like to say thank you for all the support offered to myself during Marley’s FHNE surgery last week. Receptionists make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Consultations were very thorough and gave us all the information we needed to help support Marley after his FHNE surgery. It’s only been a week since his operation today and already he is like a completely different puppy and able to get into mischief like puppies do! I can’t recommend this vet’s enough and I know Marley is super grateful for making him finally pain free."

We are so glad to hear Marley is doing well after his procedure🌟
It is so lovely to hear feedback like this💞Thank you!! 🫶🐾

Smudge was referred to West Midlands Referrals (WMR) after suffering from ongoing ear infections. During investigations, his primary care vet discovered a mass within his right ear canal.❤️‍🩹

Following a thorough examination, Veterinary Surgeon, Chris Lancelott recommended a Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA). This procedure involves the complete removal of the ear canal and, in Smudge's case, allowed the mass to be safely removed while significantly reducing the risk of future ear infections.🐶
Although a TECA can result in some loss of hearing sensitivity, it can dramatically improve comfort and quality of life for patients affected by chronic ear disease.🌟

We're delighted to report that Smudge recovered very well from surgery and recently returned for a recheck appointment. His surgical site had healed beautifully, and he is now much more comfortable.😍

Well done, Smudge! 🐕

Meet gorgeous Roxy 💖

Roxy was referred to West Midlands Referrals after struggling with lameness in her right hind limb.
Following examination by our veterinary surgeon, Andy Whittingham, along with a review of her radiographs, Roxy was diagnosed with severe bilateral hip dysplasia.❤️‍🩹

Hip dysplasia is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not fit together properly. This can result in pain, lameness, hip luxation (dislocation), and the development of osteoarthritis over time.🐕
To help improve her comfort and mobility, Roxy underwent a Femoral Head and Neck Excision (FHNE), a procedure in which the top of the femur that forms part of the hip joint is removed.

Following surgery, Roxy received LASER therapy and a tailored post-operative rehabilitation plan from our in-house physiotherapist to support her recovery.🌟

Roxy is now recovering comfortably at home, and we wish her all the very best as she continues her rehabilitation journey. 🐾💕
