23.01.2022 If you don't have an underwater treadmill, you can still enjoy the benefits of walking...or running in water Resistance / gait training Walking in water is another great technique for building strength, establishing normal gait in a recovery process and assisting with returning joints to a normal range of motion. The height of the water is a key factor for the focus of the benefit in this exercise. [ 302 more words ] https://www.newlifevet.com.au/walking-in-or-on-water/

23.01.2022 Hydrotherapy and skin conditions There are some situations when hydrotherapy needs to be delayed. It is important to make sure there are no surgical wounds that are still healing. Read more HERE. Sutures should be removed at least 48 hours before wounds are immersed in water. While hydrotherapy is very beneficial for helping in surgical recoveries, it is not indicated until we have a water tight wound seal.

21.01.2022 Life's a beach...well it was for Fred Beach, who wound up in emergency @AREC in Newcastle and couldn't move. But Fred is getting better and doing his veterinary rehab exercises with his dedicated owner @mark.beach.944 every day. By working with Fred on what he CAN do...we are building strength back for the activities that he loves. With consistent effort Mark is getting Fred back on his feet...to enjoy the beach again.

19.01.2022 Hydrotherapy is hard work!! Here is the lovely Seamus, recovering from a a session in the pool Dogoverboard Newcastle. He had a pelvis in many pieces and was put back together by the team at Brunker Road Veterinary Hospital. Hydro is just part of his recovery plan, managed by New Life Vet. Rest up Seamus...and know that you are loved!

16.01.2022 Can exercise therapy prevent the severity of hip dysplasia? This is a question we are very keen to find answers to...and Buttercup is helping us! She has just started some PRE-hab exercises to develop her core strength and build the muscles over her hips to help her function better.

15.01.2022 CRUCIATE INJURY How many times have we heard : ’My dog was chasing a ball at the beach, and after a while he came back limping. I didn’t see anything unusual. It has been a few days now, and he hasn’t been using his leg properly since then. He doesn’t seem painful though!!’ Cruciate disease (rupture of the anterior or cranial cruciate ligament) is a common injury in dogs.

13.01.2022 I always say that I don’t want the treatment to be worse than the disease. That being said, many dogs who haven’t had much experience swimming or for example, are not fond of a bath, can go on to benefit from a hydrotherapy program. And some dogs are terrified the whole time, and there are other ways we can achieve their rehabilitation and facilitate their recovery.

12.01.2022 Although this is a beautiful image of cats and dogs coming together in love...sometimes they don't come together in love, it's more like war. That was the story for poor Tiger when he first presented to the Animal Emergency Centre (AREC) in Newcastle. He had multiple injuries and was stabilised, before being transferred back to his regular vet at Brunker Road Veterinary Hospital.

10.01.2022 Range of motion exercises (where joints are fully flexed or fully extended to the limits of their anatomy or scar tissue) are best performed in water. The advantage of hydrotherapy is that the activity of swimming provides the greatest stimulus for moving joints throughout their complete range of motion. We can do passive range of motion activities with our pets throughout their recovery, but we will often meet with resistance at the ‘end point’ of the range, and our dog will likely object to us stretching them any further.

09.01.2022 Dogs have been a part of our life since their domestication roughly 15,000 years ago. In recent times dogs have become a much cherished part of the family, and as we value our pets, we have come to expect a very high level of veterinary care for our beloved pooches. And we want them to be able to weather the storms of life, just as we do. [ 291 more words ] https://www.newlifevet.com.au/what-does-a-dog-have-in-comm/

08.01.2022 Would your dog prefer to be on the pool deck rather than in the pool? Building capacity in your dog for swimming can take time. And swimming is an energetic exercise for dogs. Five minutes of swimming is equivalent to a five kilometre run. The fastest way to increase your dog’s swimming capabilities is in short bursts. This utilises the theory known as interval training.

08.01.2022 Cruciate injuries are common injuries in the dog. But unlike this injury in people, cruciate injuries in the dog are usually the result of degenerative changes that occur in the ligament over time. Most often, there may be a very subtle limp, or you may notice your dog favouring the leg on colder mornings, but then one day at the park chasing a ball, your dog pulls up lame.

05.01.2022 Cruciate surgery is a really common procedure in veterinary hospitals today. Although not all cruciate surgeries are the same, the benefits of early rehabilitation are clearly demonstrated in research. The first fourteen days after surgery are crucial to getting your pet back on their feet quickly. Cruciate injuries in dogs are the result of a degeneration in the strength of the ligament.

05.01.2022 We have had a flurry of gorgeous puppies and young dogs working on their hips...Check out their form!!

05.01.2022 There's gotta be a better way than a barrow! Neurological / Spinal rehab in water Spinal conditions and neurological conditions are particularly suited to rehabilitation in water. Hydrotherapy may be the first place a paralysed dog starts to use their limbs. Making a video record of hydrotherapy can be an extremely encouraging way to note your pet’s progress on the road or the river to recovery!

04.01.2022 Belle is the reason I love veterinary rehabilitation. She has conquered cancer and won hearts along the way. She has the heart of a lion and a connection with her devoted owners that has been a pleasure to behold. It wasn't always easy, and sometimes Belle had an opinion or two that she wanted to share!! But Belle is truly beautiful...and her story is an inspiration for all of us...to keep on going, even when the chips are down. Her recovery has involved a co-operative and collaborative team effort, across several organisations. Thanks and congratulations to the team at Animal Referral & Emergency Centre and Dogoverboard. And to Jim and Carla, who just never gave up. May you enjoy the days to come with your beautiful Belle.

04.01.2022 Cushing's disease is not about too many cushions!! Hyperadrenocorticism (Cushings Disease) is a condition that is becoming more commonly diagnosed and managed for dogs in our small animal hospitals in Australia. Cushing’s disease syndrome is characterised by excess cortisol. This can be due to a hormone secreting tumour in the pituitary gland or due to a tumour in the adrenal gland.

03.01.2022 Hydrotherapy is physiotherapy or rehabilitation programs performed in water. Swimming and walking in water are both forms of hydrotherapy. Walking in water can be facilitated by an underwater treadmill, or can be something you enjoy in the beautiful outdoor environment. There are many opportunities for us on the coast in the Newcastle and Hunter Region for walking in our waterways. [ 260 more words ] https://www.newlifevet.com.au/hydrotherapy-in-veterinary-r/
