😺 Ngeru: Little Warrior Alert! 😺

Poor Ngeru aka Ned had the misfortune of getting his paw caught in a gin trap. He was trapped for a while, and although we’re incredibly relieved that there were no fractures, he suffered a severe crush injury.

Crush injuries cause:
🐾 Soft tissue trauma – Muscles, tendons, and ligaments are bruised or torn.
🐾 Restricted blood flow – Blood vessels can be crushed or collapsed, reducing circulation and oxygen to the area.
🐾 Tissue death (necrosis) – Without oxygen, parts of the tissue begin to die, turning dark, dry, and hard.
🐾 Nerve damage – Nerves may be pinched or destroyed, causing pain, numbness, or loss of function.
🐾 Inflammation and swelling – The body reacts to the trauma, which can make movement painful and further restrict circulation.

In cats, these injuries can be life-altering because they rely so much on agility and paw function. Tissue that initially looks “okay” can deteriorate over the next few days as blood flow struggles to return, this can result in needing surgery to debride dead tissue with lengthy recovery or even amputation which was a very real future that Ngeru was facing.

His INCREDIBLE owners wanted to do everything possible to try and save the paw so reached out to see what Laser Therapy could do to help.

AND............................
The results have been nothing short of miraculous ✨

To give Ned the best chance of recovery, I paired Class IV Laser Therapy with medical-grade ozone gel — and together, they’ve been working wonders.

🔆 Laser Therapy helps by:
✅ Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation
✅ Boosting blood flow and oxygen delivery
✅ Stimulating cell repair and tissue regeneration

🫧 Ozone Gel adds a powerful healing boost by:
✅ Delivering oxygen directly to the tissue, helping reverse early necrosis
✅ Killing bacteria, fungi, and viruses naturally — reducing infection risk
✅ Promoting tissue growth and faster wound closure
✅ Improving circulation and skin elasticity around the injury

Used together, laser therapy and ozone gel create the perfect environment for accelerated healing — stimulating repair from within while protecting and oxygenating the surface.

💚 Ned's swelling and inflammation reduced dramatically after just a couple of sessions. The dark tissue softened, colour started returning and he began walking on it more comfortably.

When he first came in, losing his toes seemed almost certain.
But In just 2 short weeks thanks to his amazing family, daily laser treatments, and ozone support, we have witnessed what once felt impossible — healing. 💫
This little fighter is rewriting the odds, one pulse of light at a time and
We’re cheering him on every step of the way!!!!

Every day he’s showing us how powerful modern, holistic healing can be when we combine science with care.

🌿 Meet Paris 🌿

This beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog was diagnosed with Fragmented Coronoid Process (FCP) in her elbow while still just a young pup. FCP is a painful joint condition that affects the elbow’s stability and comfort — making every step, run, and playful bounce uncomfortable. 💔

Paris underwent surgery to remove the damaged fragment and relieve the pain, but recovery from an elbow surgery like this can be slow and delicate — especially for a big, growing puppy with endless energy and curiosity!

Her mum brought her to me at Paw Energetics to support her recovery and give her the best chance at a strong, happy, and active life. Together we used laser therapy to help reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed up tissue healing — while following a gentle, progressive exercise programme that was adapted weekly to suit how her elbow was healing and how her body was responding.

Of course, being a playful pup meant there were a few hiccups along the way (as any young explorer would have!) — but with patience, small adjustments, and plenty of encouragement, Paris continued to thrive.

Now she’s made an incredible recovery — and even made her national show dog debut last month! 🐾✨

I couldn’t be prouder of this strong, determined girl and her dedicated mum. Paris is living proof that with the right care, consistency, and support, healing is possible. 💚

❤️‍🩹Surgery isn’t the complete solution — it’s only half of it.
The other half is the road to recovery, healing, and rehabilitation that follows.
At Paw Energetics, I’m passionate about supporting animals beyond the surgery table
I help animals rebuild, restore, and thrive again with specialised knowledge, gentle, purposeful rehabilitation and laser therapy.

If your pet has had surgery or is preparing for one, now is the perfect time to plan their recovery journey - Get in touch so we can make a plan for the best possible chance at a full, healthy recovery 🐾

Because every step forward matters 💚

🩺🌿🩷 Vet Nurse Awareness Week 🩷🌿🩺

This week is one of my absolute favourites of the year — the week we get to celebrate us.
The incredible, compassionate, dedicated Vet Nurses who pour their hearts into every single day.

Every year I write a post of gratitude — because to all the Vet Nurses out there:
🌻You deserve to be celebrated.
🌻You deserve to be thanked.
🌻You deserve to be told just how incredible you truly are.

Our job is full of moments that fill your heart right to the brim — the wagging tails, the purrs, the recoveries, the second chances.
But this week isn’t just about the highlights — it’s about awareness too.
Because being a Vet Nurse is one of the most rewarding, yet hardest, professions there is.

It’s the long days and the thankless duties.
It’s the emotional toll of carrying so many little lives in your hands.
It’s the overwhelming days when the cases just keep coming and there’s never enough time or hands to help them all.

It’s the days we help euthanize pets who have become like family — and then take a deep breath and walk into the next room with a smile.
It’s the days we sit with families as they make the hardest decisions they’ll ever face.
It’s the days you give everything you have to your patient… and it still isn’t enough.
It’s the days you feel your heart breaking quietly behind the scenes.
It’s the days you lose faith in humanity — but show up anyway, because the animals need you.

To every Vet Nurse out there — I see you.
I admire you.
And I thank you for everything you do, every single day 💚

You are the heartbeat behind every patient’s care, the steady hands, and the soft voice that says, “It’s okay, you’re safe now.”

Happy Vet Nurse Awareness Week & Vet Nurse Appreciation Day
You truly are the unsung heroes of our industry. 🌟🐾

All my Love

💚They slow down… but their love never does💚

One day, you notice the greying muzzle, the slower steps, the softer eyes. Yet behind every gentle gaze is the same loyal heart that’s been beside you through it all. 🐾

Spend time in the moments that matter most — quiet walks, soft words, warm snuggles. Let them rest their head in your lap and feel the rhythm of your heartbeat, just like they always have.

Age may change their body, but it only deepens their spirit. Keep them comfortable, supported, and surrounded by love. Whisper to them like you did when they were a pup — they still understand every word. 💫

Because love doesn’t age… it just grows wiser. 💚

🐾💫 World Animal Day — October 4th 💫🐾

We celebrate the beautiful souls who walk beside us — our teachers, healers, and companions. 💚

Animals remind us every day what unconditional love looks like, how to live in the moment, and how powerful gentle energy can be.
At Paw Energetics, that’s exactly what I honour — the deep connection between body, mind, and spirit that makes every animal unique.

Take a moment today to slow down, breathe, and feel that connection with your pet. Whisper a thank you. Offer an extra cuddle. Share a walk in silence. 🌿

Because when we nurture them, they heal us too. ✨

All my Love

✨ Meet Arthur ✨

Arthur was diagnosed with bilateral cruciate ruptures and a suspected meniscus injury. Surgery wasn’t the best option for him due to other medical conditions, so his family chose conservative cruciate management – and the results have been incredible!

With the guidance of a skilled rehabilitation nurse, Arthur’s care plan with Paw Energetics included:
🐾 Laser therapy for pain relief, reduced inflammation and faster tissue healing
🐾 Individualised physical therapy to strengthen muscles and restore stability
🐾 Consistent ongoing assessments to monitor progress and adapt treatment as needed- keeping his recovery on track
🐾 Support and education for his family so they could confidently continue care at home

This combination meant Arthur could steadily progress through his recovery, rebuilding his mobility and confidence without the risks of surgery.

At Paw Energetics, this is exactly what I specialise in – bringing together advanced therapies, expert knowledge, tailored treatment plans and hands-on rehabilitation to help pets achieve the best possible outcome 💚

In just 2 months he is back to doing all his normal parameter searches of the property and even sneaking next door to the vineyard to say Hi, when he feels the need 🤭

🦋Arthur is proof that with the right rehab plan and the right support, even complex cases can thrive🦋

This was taken after only 3 laser therapy treatments and about halfway through his rehab 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Separation Anxiety Isn’t About Leaving, It’s About Feeling Safe
We often hear that dogs need to “get used to being left.” That separation anxiety is something to be trained out, managed, or ignored. But what if we approached it differently? What if, instead of focusing on absence, we focused on attachment?

What Attachment Theory Teaches Us:
In child psychology, attachment theory shows us that confidence doesn’t come from being left alone, it comes from feeling safe. Children who experience consistent, attuned caregiving develop a secure base. From this base, they explore the world, knowing they can return to safety when needed.

Dogs are no different. They are a social species who need connection. Emotional regulation, resilience, and independence all stem from trust.
Creating emotional safety for our dogs isn’t about avoiding separation forever, it’s about building a foundation where separation becomes comfortable because the dogs feel secure.
This safety is built through:
• Predictability: Dogs thrive when their environment and guardians responses are consistent.
• Calm communication: Our tone, body language, and emotional state matter.
• Understanding their signals: Responding appropriately to subtle communication builds trust.
• Being a safe emotional space: When dogs know they can express distress and be met with empathy, they learn to regulate, not suppress, their emotions.

When Dustin came to us at four months old, he was already carrying the weight of health issues and uncertainty. He lacked confidence, and we knew that leaving him alone would only deepen his anxiety.
Many people told me I was making a rod for my own back by never leaving him. But I understood the psychology of building confident individuals. Confidence isn’t forced, it’s grown.
For the first 15 months of his life, Dustin was never left alone. We rearranged work shifts, asked favours from friends, and made sure he always had someone nearby. It wasn’t always easy, but it was necessary.
And then, one day, Dustin told me he was ready.
He didn’t lift his head when I walked out to do the bins.
He chose not to come to bed with me one night.
He let me know that he felt safe enough to be alone.
That moment wasn’t trained. It was earned.

Separation anxiety isn’t a behavioural flaw, it’s a communication of unmet emotional needs. When we shift our focus from “fixing” the behaviour to supporting the dog, everything changes.
We stop asking, “How do I leave my dog?”
And start asking, “How do I help my dog feel safe enough to be left?”
