Has your dog lost the spring in their step?

Whether they’re taking a second longer to hop into the car, pausing before jumping onto the sofa, or taking a little extra time to warm up after a nap these subtle shifts are often your dog’s way of saying “I’m feeling a bit stiff!”
Dogs are experts at hiding discomfort, but small changes in movement can quickly lead to tight muscles, joint stiffness, and overcompensation elsewhere. 🐶💔
That’s where we come in! At Lily Moffatt Veterinary Physiotherapy, we help get your four-legged best friend feeling like their bouncy self again through:
✨ Hands-on physical & gait evaluations
✨ Gentle targeted therapies (laser, massage & joint mobilisation)
✨ Tailored home exercise plans to build strength & mobility
Give your pup the gift of comfortable, happy movement! 🌿🐾

Rabbits are neophobic, meaning they naturally fear new environments, unfamiliar people, and sudden handling. In a prey animal, high stress can trigger adrenal hormone spikes and gut issues.

That’s why successful rabbit rehabilitation requires a low-stress, slow-and-steady approach:
🌿 Building trust through positive reinforcement & enrichment
🌿 Treating in quiet, low-noise environments
🌿 Allowing the rabbit to move freely during assessment

Effective physio respects their instincts! 💚

Can you spot what is different in Brandys picture? Can you see what might indicate he is in pain? It’s very subtle but knowing your own dog is so important, so you can spot what is “normal”.

⬇️ Read on to find the answer ⬇️

Take a close look at this coat! Notice the subtle change in hair direction and texture right along the triceps, just slightly above the elbow where the tan fur merge towards the black.

Here’s how coat patterns can hint at hidden pain or tension:
1️⃣ Muscle & Fascial Tension: When muscles beneath the skin spasm or tighten (often around the spine, shoulders, or hips), it pulls on the fascia and skin. This can cause the hair to form ridges, stand on end, or swirl unnaturally over sore spots.
2️⃣ Localised Overgrooming: Dogs experiencing deep aches (like joint or nerve pain) often lick or nibble at the area to self-soothe. This alters the coat’s direction, length, or texture over time.
3️⃣ Weight Shifting & Friction: If a dog is protecting a sore leg, they shift their resting posture. Repeated pressure on one side flattens or breaks the fur unevenly.
4️⃣ Piloerection (Involuntary Reflex): Stress, high arousal, or sudden twinges of acute pain trigger small hair follicle muscles (arrector pili) to contract, raising the fur.
⚠️ Important Note: A fur pattern change alone isn’t a diagnosis! It’s simply a visual prompt to observe your pup more closely for signs like stiffness, posture changes, or sensitivity to touch.
