VetPhysioLife Episode 8
from Animal Physiotherapy (VetPhysioLife)
In this episode Kim tells us about one of her new patients, an elderly Labrador-Springer Spaniel cross. Among other things, we discuss quality of life considerations when dealing with such cases. Thankfully this boy is still enjoying life at the moment. We also hear about one of Kim's success stories, a lovely Sheltie. And we hear all about proprioceptive tracks and helping dogs to find their feet again. Kim mentions an FCE. This is a fibrocartilaginous embolism which essentiallymeans that there is a blockage of the blood supply to part of the spinal cord. The result is loss of function of part of the spinal cord. It is a problem from which dogs can recover. Finally Kim tells us about possible agility injuries and the importance of warming up.
