25.01.2022 So.......less than a week after my last post, I am afraid I have to inform everyone that I have closed my Ringwood clinic for the present. I will still be working from Lower Plenty and Wattle Glen for small animals, and mobile for horses. Those clients who normally see me at Ringwood can be seen at the other clinics, if they prefer. Stay well! Stay safe!

20.01.2022 I am still here! (And still working!) I just want to assure my clients (and potential clients) that I am still able to work, with some restrictions, at all three of my small animal clinics (Wattle Glen, Ringwood and Lower Plenty) and on equine patients. Social distancing, increased sanitising and the use of gloves during treatments are all being adhered to, in a concerted effort to keep everyone as safe as possible, whilst still providing a service to reduce pain and increase function for pets and horses. If anyone has concerns about how the risks are being managed, or if clients are at increased risk due to their age or poor health / immunity, please contact me. I am very happy to discuss these issues and work out the best way forward. Stay well and sane

19.01.2022 So...from tomorrow I, and all my clients, will be even safer during their pets' and horses' chiropractic appointments. Love my new animal-themed fabric reusable masks from Sandy Buchanan at MaskMe www.maskme-melbourne.com #animalchiropractic #fabricmask

15.01.2022 Step 2 restrictions I am happy to say that I am now able to treat patients who fall under certain criteria. If there is a welfare issue, ie the animal is in pain, showing a functional disability and/or has arthritis,... Or if it requires timely intervention, eg for a working animal, or an injury sustained by an immature animal that could affect its development. At present, all small animals are being seen at Lower Plenty Vet Clinic, unless a home visit is essential. Horses are being seen on site, as usual, with social distancing as much as is safe, and masks to be worn by both the client/handler and myself The Wattle Glen clinic will hopefully open soon, although it is still unclear when practitioners will be able to work from non commercial premises. The practice at Ringwood Vet Clinic remains closed for the time being. There is no date for reopening at the moment, but I will give as much notice as possible when I am informed. I’m very happy to discuss any concerns you may have about your pet or horse. If I can’t help you at the moment, I will advise you on how to find someone who can Let’s all look after each other!

15.01.2022 Quick, get the car out! The animal Chiro is open for ALL patients, including routine care! So happy to say that I am now able to see any animal, regardless of level of need. I am also able to work from my clinic at Wattle Glen, aswell as at Lower Plenty Vet Clinic and mobile for horses.... Welcoming all new and old patients! I can’t wait to see you! #animalchiropractor #canine #dogchiropractor #horsechiropractor #equinechiropractor #catchiropractor

15.01.2022 Something to put a smile on your face and get you moving! stay sane everyone!

13.01.2022 Of course dogs don’t ever need a chiropractor......!!

12.01.2022 The water bowl is filled, the clinic is freshly painted and all I need now are my wonderful patients! So very excited to be able to reopen my clinic at Wattle Glen tomorrow.

08.01.2022 What.....again??! ‘Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!’ Now that we are back at stage 3 restrictions, I am still working at Wattle Glen, Lower Plenty and mobile for horses, but there will be a limit of one person per patient in the clinic rooms.... If you have any symptoms at all, please contact me to postpone your appointment until test results have been received. If you are vulnerable due to age, co morbidities, or a suppressed immune system, please advise me in advance of your appointment I will be continuing with increased sanitising and distancing where possible. If any clients are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact me in the strictest confidence We can get the numbers down again! Take care, think twice and stay safe Fiona

08.01.2022 Happy 2nd birthday to Lexi the Frenchie! What a way to spend your birthday - a relaxing chiro treatment (with a few treats to celebrate ) followed by a day of being spoilt by the family. Perfect!

06.01.2022 I am very happy to say that Fiona Kates Animal Chiropractic Services is allowed to stay open during stage 4 restrictions. However, to do the right thing by the community, I have decided to provide only "essential" services. I define these as -... Assessment and treatment of any animal who is in pain, showing significant dysfunction, eg lameness or who is arthritic and the reduction in mobility is affecting quality of life I urge any current client, or prospective client, to contact me if they want to discuss the situation with their pet / horse. I understand that it is not always easy to gauge the severity of a problem yourself. Please also remember that it is allowed for you to travel out of your 5km area to take your pet for veterinary care To everyone - stay safe and sane! We can get through this! #animalchiropractic #FionaKates

06.01.2022 But that was yesterday......... Afraid that after the situation for chiropractors was clarified, I have had to come to the conclusion that I am not able to see patients By not working, clients will not be travelling to see me, and I will not be travelling to horse properties, which is the whole point of this.... I am very sorry that I will not be able to continue the treatment programs in place for my patients, but we will pick up again at the end of stage 4 If anyone is concerned that their pet /horse is in pain, or worsening, please contact your vet. They are still available. Look after yourselves, stay well and PLEASE reach out if you are struggling. #animalchiropractic #FionaKates #dogchiropractor #horsechiropractor

04.01.2022 For all horse riders.... re social distancing, and what is permitted when you exercise your horse.
