You are receiving this e-blast because you signed up for these e-blasts on FourLeg.com. If for some reason, this makes you unhappy... then unsubscribe at the bottom. But for everyone else... HEY! Let's get on with the show! As I type this, I am exhausted and I hurt! Why? Well, today we
did a Sporting Dog Baseline Assessment Day. 17 dogs & their humans, 8 stations, 10 staff members, and some vacuuming at the end of the day! My station was the Spinal Evaluation... which is why my thumb hurts.
It was a GREAT day, and all of the dog-people were thrilled! But we will definitely do it a bit differently next year. (Less dogs, more time for
the therapist stations, and a built-in pee break would be included in the future as well!)
I'll create a member's video to go through how we did it, what we'd do differently, and how you might do the same! Stay tuned!
In the mean time, check out our
'pre-day' video at:
Okay, enough about me, let's just get on with your learning this

Blog: LASER & Growth Plates... safe or not? |
|
Not so long ago we had a surgeon state that all of the lasering we had been doing to one of his patients had caused the growth plates to close prematurely. It was a young dog, for whom we were providing pre-hab for a torn ACL while we waited for growth plates to close in order for a TPLO to be performed.
So, 1) feeling
horrible that this could be true, and 2) wanting to combat the accusation, I went to my trusty friend PubMed to see what she had to say. (P.S. I figure Pubmed is a ‘she’. No reason, just because…)
I found three recent papers that looked at growth plate closure and laser therapy.
