Let's get on with the show! Got a Question? Need Answers? Need Ideas?
WELL LOOK NO FURTHER! See what the Four Leg LIBRARY of content has to offer! Or jump onto the FORUM and ask your questions... Not on the Forum yet? Go and register! Not a member yet? Why not?! Affordable & Expansive Learning to be had! What's new? Well, I think I'm recovered from the IAVRPT Symposium. Jet lag abated, I'm now back on Alberta time! It was a fantastic conference. I enjoyed the other lectures very much. I enjoyed lecturing again (and 'performing' at the debate). And, I enjoyed visiting with people! I hadn't realized how
much I missed it! I came back feeling reenergized (after the jet lag subsided that is!) Oh, and I accepted my award as the inaugural recipient of the Veterinary Rehabilitation Professional of the Year (2020) at the symposium as well. So, that was very special as well. On the home front, my zucchini patch has gone crazy! So, here we go with zucchini boats, zucchini stir fry, Italian zucchini soup, maybe
zucchini bread (I don't eat bread, so it would be to give away...). Throw me your zucchini recipes, I need them all!!
And, if you see below, I'm part of an online Dog Anxiety Summit. It just sort of happened out of the blue, but I think it could be quite interesting. It's free over 4 days and/or you can purchase it as well. I try to catch these things free, myself! ;) Anyhoo, sign up just for fun and if you have
time, watch a few presentations! I have NO IDEA about what the other speakers are speaking about, so I'm rather curious myself!!! So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!!

Four Leg BLOG: An OVERDOSE of EXERCISE
|
|
One of the reasons I still see patients, is that they provide me great learning opportunities and opportunities to tell stories!
So, here we go. The blog about Proper Dosing of Therapies, was about more than just
exercise. (Manual therapies, education, modalities, etc.) However, this blog is ALL about exercise and highlights a case where the owner was overdosing her dog’s exercise program. So, the patient in question had an extracapsular repair for cruciate deficiency. The owners has been through this before. She has equipment at home. She came for her initial assessment and then started into the underwater treadmill, but didn’t come back to ME for a follow up consult for 6 weeks. (Which was NOT my plan!!) I had seen her in the Underwater Treadmill just before she had returned to me. Our hydrotherapy staff
member asked me how I thought she looked. I said, “She looks 2 – 3 weeks behind schedule.” Continue reading - click below...

Here's an Online Summit I didn't think I would be a part of, but I am! Check this out: Expert vets across the country are now urging pet parents to look closer at
their dog’s mental health as post-pandemic anxiety has been skyrocketing in our companion animals today. If your dog has anxiety, you may notice some or all of the following signs. Aggression. Urinating or defecating in the house. Drooling. Panting. Destructive
behaviour. Depression. Excessive barking. Pacing. There have even been severe instances of dogs jumping through windows in order to escape when they are feeling panicked. Please don’t
let it come to that. Get on top of your dog’s anxiety now, so it does not become much worse later. And you can do so with this great new free event called The Dog Anxiety Summit. An online virtual
summit hosted by Dr. Edward Bassingthwaighte featuring 21+ world-leading veterinarians, dog trainers, and anxiety experts. They'll dive deep into what is causing your dog's anxiety and how you can overcome it using natural and holistic solutions! You won't want to miss this free event! This summit is designed for pet owners who are looking for ways to help their dogs live happier, calmer and stress-free lives. You can get started right now by registering here! ⇐https://petaffiliates.center/192-14-5-42.html= The line-up of incredible speakers at this summit includes Dr. Ava Frick, Laurie Edge Hughes, Dr. Jeff Feinman, Dr. Ian Dunbar, Dr. Theresa Welch Fossum, and many more. It’s absolutely FREE for a limited time (September 2-7) plus it’s completely online so there’s nothing stopping you from joining! You’ll get to mingle with a community of like-minded pet parents who are
committed to improving their pets' quality of life through better health and lifestyle choices. We're excited about what we can do together as we learn more about this important topic that affects our companion animals!

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it!
I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies, exercises, advisement, etc, etc!
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that
your question pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful!
Go there... Check it out!!!

Have a great week everyone!
Until next time... Cheers!
