Tricks & Treats 🎆

Firework Season is here so I have put together a few tips to help your pets through this stressful time 😥

Although some dogs/horses/cats are not bothered by fireworks; others are petrified and in some cases has led to serious injuries 🤕

This list is not exhaustive and you should always seek advice from your vet who can also offer various medications ranging from over the counter neutraceuticals or prescribed medication 💊

OR

Seeking help by a trained behaviourist 🐕

If your pet has suddenly become scared of loud noises or you notice a change over firework season that was not noticed previously; it could indicate they are experiencing pain or discomfort so it is worthwhile getting them checked by your vet 🐾🐴

Handsome Merlin 🐶🎃

I met Merlin & his family a couple of months ago after he was referred for physiotherapy following spinal surgery.

Merlin’s accident was very sudden & his owners were keen to start his rehabilitation journey to give him the best recovery ❤️‍🩹

Merlin had a great prognosis but he needed a little help with re-educating his gait pattern, recreating neural pathways and strengthening areas with reduced muscle mass & tone.

Since Summer, Merlin has had immense changes & every visit I was amazed to see the differences in his musculoskeletal health 💪

Merlin has been a star patient and has quite literally let me do my assessment and treatment without moving a muscle! ⭐️

His owners have truly done an incredible job & should be very proud of their efforts to help their wonderful boy 🐾

How cute does Merlin look next to his pumpkin? 😍🎃

Ralph 🐾❤️

Ralph was welcomed to the Elsinore Vet Physio family a couple of months ago after undergoing not one but two spinal surgeries 😥

However, this has not stopped him making an incredible recovery and each week we are seeing small but mighty changes 👏

As his owner has so wonderfully said to me in his sessions- “Progression over perfection” 🫶

Ralph’s owners have dedicated so much time into his rehabilitation journey & it really does show 👏

Ralph is the sweetest boy & I absolutely adore treating him 🫶

Little (big) Max 🐾

Gorgeous Max came to see me for a physiotherapy assessment after Claire at noticed some postural & gait changes that didn’t seem quite right in his puppy classes.

Max is only a young pup so his owners wanted a physio assessment to identify any issues that can be managed now & prevent problems in the future.

Since his initial assessment where we found a couple of issues; Max & his family have been working on some corrective exercises so we can help improve his posture and re-educate his gait pattern.

Max’s family have been fantastic at working through the exercises & it’s lovely to see the progress Max is making already 👏

Welcome to all our new followers 👋

Firstly, thank you for following my incredible journey; documenting life as a Veterinary Physiotherapist 🫶

I thought this would be the perfect time to re-introduce myself as looking back I’ve only done it once!! 🙄🤷‍♀️

I’m Zara the founder of Elsinore Veterinary Physiotherapy (EVP). My small business was established in 2022 after I completed my Masters in Veterinary Physiotherapy ✨

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to work with animals & make a difference by being their voice. Both my academic & personal experiences have led me to this incredible career 🥰

I am an equine & small animal physiotherapist, treating a multitude of acute & chronic conditions. One of the reasons I love this job so much is seeing how physiotherapy can make a huge difference to my patients so they continue to enjoy & live life to the fullest! 💜

As of a couple of months ago, I took the bold plunge & went fully self-employed! The growth I’ve had in the business this year has been phenomenal & I’m excited to see how it continues to progress!

Wonderful Seren enjoying her maintenance physio session the other week ✨

Between myself & we are able to monitor for any changes in Seren and work as a team to support her and Seren’s owner 👏

She is the sweetest little horse & such a privilege to be a part of team Seren 🐎

Tilly ✨

Last week I saw the lovely Tilly for her initial physiotherapy session after her owners had noticed some changes in her hindlimb gait 🐕

A few months ago, Tilly had a beautiful puppy & is now in the position to start increasing her workload and building strength now pup is more independent!

Tilly’s posture & gait indicates there is potentially a weakness in the pelvic limbs and some atrophy was noted on palpation.

Over the next couple of weeks, Tilly’s owners and myself will be monitoring her closely for any changes & incorporating some exercises to build hindlimb strength & improve her posture so we can prevent further injury & get her back to her running!

Tilly is from the same household family as Loto so I always get a warm welcome from the girls when I visit! 🥰
