What's new?

Watch this week's FourLeg Rehab Minute video. I think it's pretty creative... and I just thought it up this past week due to a question I received. Let me know your thoughts. OH... and when you do watch it, I remembered why my tarsal brace looked that way. It WAS in a barn. We had used it on one of my son's baby goats about a year ago. So, it was in a goat barn, and it did roll around in the hay! Mystery solved!

My question to all of you is, "How do I kill all of the mosquitos that have now shown up because of the rain?" Hubby and I went for a walk across our field last night, but turned around at the half way mark because of the mosquitos! Not fun!

So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!

But first, a cartoon!

Conservative Management of Elbow Hygromas in Dogs

Last week’s dive into the veterinary research regarding elbow hygromas led to a veterinary surgeon reaching out to say that she would never operate on an elbow hygroma as a first line of treatment. Fantastic! So, that sparked part two of the elbow hygroma blogs. This article explores non-surgical strategies for managing elbow hygromas in dogs, including environmental modifications, protective devices, and supportive therapies.

Have You Checked it Out?

The most comprehensive online exercise prescription platform... FOURLEGEXERCISE.COM

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec/Wibbi (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/Wibbi (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec/wibbi 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/Wibbi 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!
