And gosh, maybe too much information, but the Borzoi is finally in season! Ugh. In the house. Panties on. Out of the house. Panties off. Repeat. But, at
least we know she has a uterus! She will be two years old this week and this is her first season. We joked that perhaps she was missing a uterus! So, while this is not fun, now I can chat with her breeder to see if I can spay her at some point this summer. (There was conversation about maybe breeding her... but I'm not thinking that's going to happen).
Anyhoo - lots going on: Ranch stuff - selling beef via private sale; Clinic stuff - getting a second UWT;
Easter stuff - Easter Bunny managed to buy everyone packages of Purdy's Sweet Georgia Brown's (it's a Canadian chocolate company and these things are like 'crack'!!!! Soooo good.) So, that's it for the updates... !! On with the show...

FOUR LEG NEWS Volume 13: Issue 1 BRACHYCEPHALIC SPINES
|
|
|
|
Well... I was excited about this newsletter... but remember back in January when I couldn't upload the audio... Well, turns out now I can't upload this document. I sent a message to Webguy on Saturday... but here it is Sunday night at 10pm and no reply.... so, HOPEFULLY, I will get in touch with him on Monday and this will be available shortly there-after. Hair Pulling Out to commence shortly!
I created this newsletter in Canva. First time using it for this application. It was easy to put together... and I went with Easter colours as a theme. I'll get better I'm sure!
If you’ve been doing canine rehabilitation / physiotherapy for any period of time, you’re bound to have run into a wobbly Frenchie or foot-dragging pug. This newsletter delves into the brachycephalic spine and the
plethora or abnormalities that might be found there! I found this topic fascinating, so I’m sure that my fellow nerds will find it just as enthralling as I did! Enjoy! Vertebral malformations are very common in small brachycephalic breeds, such as French bulldogs, English bulldogs, Boston terriers and pugs. In many cases they are considered incidental findings, but
in others they can be associated with progressive neurological deficits. Therefore, it is important to identify which cases will need further investigations, as well as how to interpret the results. Check it out! Login. It should be
right there. Or, Go to Newsletters... and find it there!

Laser after TPLO – A New Study Finds…
|
|
|
|
I was looking forward to reading a newly published paper about laser therapy in post-operative TPLO cases. The study included 54 dogs and measured C-reactive protein (CRP), percentage weight bearing, lameness using a short form of a composite measure
pain scale, evaluated by the clinician and owners, and surgical site infection. What did they find?
The results were promising but not statistically significant. The only thing they could say with a small amount of confidence was that surgical site infections may be reduced after photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) application. The devil
is in the details ... Keep reading...

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!!!

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