Affordable & Expansive Learning to be had! What's new? I made it! I made it through my busy busy busy month (plus one weekend)! I just finished up the past weekend with a Strategic Planning Session with the Animal Rehab Division. We were in beautiful Canmore, Alberta in a stunning, huge condo, with 7 board members,
lots of food and wine, and we hammered out 14 hours of planning! We accomplished tons - exactly what we needed to get done with no heated debates, hissy fits, storming outs, or throat punches!! A total win!!
Now? Well, now, I have to catch up. I have emails to go back through, and a very long 'to-do list' that has been neglected. Lucky for me, with the ending of 'daylight savings time', I get an extra hour this weekend to
start me off! I had better get on with it!
So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!

Four Leg BLOG: Immune Mediated Polyarthritis in Dogs
|
|
To the best of my knowledge, I have only seen two cases of IMPA (Immune-Mediated Polyarthritis). The first case, I was the one that detected the abnormalities
(switching and multiple joint swellings from treatment to treatment) and referred back to the DVM for further investigation. The second one was just recently, and of the two times I saw the dog, I missed it, but the neurologist determined that dog was too sore ‘everywhere’ on the day he saw him for it to be a pinched nerve. So the dog was referred to internal medicine who did the work up, and at the time of this writing, we are all still awaiting test results.
So, I figured it would be a good refresher topic for everyone to look at IMPA. The exact CAUSE of immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA) in dogs is not fully understood, and it is considered an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease occurs when a dog's immune system, which is designed to protect the body from foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses, mistakenly starts attacking the dog's own tissues and cells, in this case, the synovial membrane in the joints. While the precise triggers are not known, there
are several factors that may contribute to the development of IMPA: Continue reading - click below...

Have You Checked it Out?

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!!!
