Well, as you'll read in the blog below, we did have to put down our little sheltie last week. But she went so quick and peacefully that we felt very much at ease that we had done the right thing at the right time.
I started a new physio on the team at The Canine Fitness Centre this week, so that's been fabulous!
And we had a meeting with the pipeline company about 'disputed land values'. That was not so fabulous! I put in 2 whole days of research to lay out my arguements. Which I did... without swearing at them! (I was most proud of that! Because they really have me fired up and angry!) Now we see what they come back to us with. Fingers crossed!
And that's about it!!

"Layla" (Kimicko Blueberry Sunday) - March 6, 2005 - September 30, 2019
Last week started out rough. We had to put down our 14.5-year-old sheltie. About 5 days before, she had suffered a vestibular episode. No worries! I thought. I’ve treated plenty of these. Except that in my dog, I couldn’t affect the nystagmus with the positional movements (Dix Hallpike, Epley, and the Side Lie techniques). As the days progressed, she was still able to wander around the
house, often times bumping into things and sometimes falling. She mostly chose to lie down. However, when we’d try to get her up from prolonged lying down she was so much worse – on one occasion she was rolling when you tried to pick her up, on another occasion she appeared to be deaf and blind. On day four after the incident, we thought that would be the day to put her down. I did one more ‘side-lie’ technique to try to move displaced otoliths in her ear… and she got up
and walked around. Wobbly, but better. So, we didn’t call the vet that day. However…
However, the next day she was worse again. So that night, my husband and I decided that it was time to let her go. And that is what I want to talk about in this blog post. How to talk to clients to help them know when it’s time to let go.
Keep on reading...

I can't sugar coat this. You need manual therapy training. You need to be able to assess and treat the spine. It's imperative! Problems here can cause lameness and pain! You need this information!
AND... if you already have chiropractic training, you are eligible to take the Advanced Manual Therapy for the Canine Spine course. I've taught tons of veterinarians with chiro training and my Advanced course is a HUGE hit with that crowd! If you've never taken one of my manual therapy courses, start with the Basic course. Trust me, it's more advanced than anything you got in your basic canine rehab training!

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!
