This week? This week I was slowed down by hubby getting sick for a day and then I fell under the weather
over the weekend... So, I lost a wee bit of steam. Nothing terrible, but more tired than usual!
On the happy front, I've bought more seeds for the garden. I need to transplant my tomatoes and start some peppers (I've never tried to grow peppers!). I'm about 6 weeks early for when I can ACTUALLY stick stuff in the ground, but I'm getting excited!! I also can't wait to tidy up the yard and the flower beds... but it's too early for
that as well! Why do I live here again?? Oh, and the new chickens are now catching onto the routine - human comes to the fence, come running out to maybe get some extra food (apple cores, peelings, etc), and the baby calves are so cute as well! So, That's it for the updates... On with the show!!

Four Leg BLOG: The Sneaky Patella
|
|
Ruby is a young border collie pulling up lame when out running. She will hike up the leg, hop about, and when the owner rubs her quads she’ll let the leg down and then go off running again. The first time it happened was a sudden onset, where the owner found the dog curled in a ball in the snow unwilling to move. She was taken to the vet, they did an exam and an x-ray. Both of which were
inconclusive. So she comes to the clinic. I didn’t see this dog the first time, but I did on a subsequent appointment, as the first therapist asked for my opinion. The videos of how the dog would move (in and out of
lameness) were ‘textbook’ patellar luxation. However, the other therapist couldn’t find that to be the issue. On my examination, I couldn’t get the patella to luxate either – medially or laterally. I checked the ‘weird and wonderful’ thinks (long digital extensor, proximal gastrocs and fabellae, collaterals, pes anserinus, etc). I thought ‘maybe’ there was some tenderness on the lateral fabella. But subsequent testing showed diminishing pain. Continue reading - click below...

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!!!
