As I write this, it's Mother's Day. I am trying to get this eblast put together quickly before my boys come over to make breakfast and do yard work for me! The best part about Mother's Day (for me) is getting them to do free labour in the yard for me!!! I can't wait!! (I don't need a fancy dinner or big
presents... just 'man power'!!!)
That's it for the updates... On with the show!!

Four Leg BLOG: You’re a Cervical Jerk! No, You Are! |
|
|
I came across an interesting abstract that caught my attention. It was about Cervical Jerks in dogs. Check it out, and then let’s discuss: Olender M, Couturier J, Gatel L, Cauvin E. Cervical jerks as a sign of cervical pain or myelopathy in dogs. J Am Vet Med Assoc. 2023 Feb 2;261(4):510-516. OBJECTIVE: To describe and classify cervical muscle jerks associated with cervical pain or myelopathy and evaluate their clinical and diagnostic relevance. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Cervical jerk associated with cervical pain or myelopathy may represent myoclonus and was exclusively secondary to cranial cervical IVDE in this study. Full recovery was observed following medical or surgical treatment of IVDE. The exact origin and classification of this involuntary movement has yet to be established. Thoughts:
For the most part, this paper makes good sense. Dogs with ‘neck jerks’ (i.e. muscle spasms, muscle fasciculation, involuntary muscle activity, myokymia, myoclonus) were found to have IVDD in their cervical spine. Continue reading - click below... Get to the BLOG by CLICKING HERE!!!!

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!
