What's new?
We are pretty much finished cleaning the cottage in preparation for renting it out. It's sorta sad... but I'm happy that we're not selling it!
I'm not sure what else is new! I keep forgetting what day it is! I'm listening to a book right now (Evolve Your Brain, by Joe Dispenza). It talks about how our brains are wired and how without novel stimuli we revert into habitual emotions and our brains stop growing and evolving. I feel like the lack of 'newness' in life might be making my brain stagnant! So, I need to start adding some 'new' into my life! I don't know what that
will look like... but I don't want to become a walnut-brain!
So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!!

Four Leg BLOG:
Why you ask the questions
|
|
|
This blog is brought to you courtesy of two clients who thought they were doing the right thing. But they weren’t! I’ve had two cases recently were I thought, “Good thing they came to see me.” Not because of my magical hands, big brain, and enviable collection of equipment, but rather, because I took a subjective history, and knew what to do with the information.
Case 1:
A geriatric Springer Spaniel with chronic painful elbow arthritis. Elbows suck. It doesn’t matter the species… elbow ailments can be unforgiving, soul sucking, recalcitrant beasts! So, have I fixed this dog? No.
The story about this dog centers around the question, “What is he on for medication?” The answer was Metcam (Meloxicam). However, the owner felt that the dog needed something more, so had also been giving him Asprin (acetylsalicylic acid). He felt that the dog was much better on the days he received Asprin.

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!
