The importance of working within a multidisciplinary team for the best care of both the dog and guardian! 

The importance of working within a multidisciplinary team for the best care of both the dog and guardian!

The first step is the elimination or inclusion of a diagnosis to move forward for patient centred care.

If you visit my website and go to the contact form, you will see a little extraction from a prior blog on what to expect when you want to book a consultation and I am 100% transparent and state that the first thing I am going to do is ask you to see a Vet. I am and I will. Or we will discuss your most recent vet check. You are also not on your own with this, so like many if you have no idea where to start, I will help you.

Thanks to vet checks, sudden new behaviours have meant that guardians didn't need me after all because the vet found that the dog exhibited the behaviour due to being unwell. Whilst this may not book me a client it does let that guardian know, first and foremost I care about their dogs health over money and secondly they will and do spread the word that I care solely about the dogs welfare as an individual.

I am now super lucky to be a patient of Lincolnshire vets who have been absolutely amazing, from coming across from other vets, down to what they have done for Koda, as well as truly caring about us both. Now to me this should be a standard with all vets. Vets who listen, work with us, recommend additional services, recognising only the animal patient and their guardian matter.

Working within a multidisciplinary team means I can recommend to a guardian to contact certain professionals and only with permission (because of GPRD) can we then have a discussion on the best way forward for the individual dog with the guardian included in the care plan moving forwards.

For example, working with Bilsby Canine Hydrotherapy, Koda now needs a different care routine in hydrotherapy and we can discuss this thanks to being a multidisciplinary team, with the same goal, Kodas welfare.

"Behavioural problems and physiological medical problems have been treated separately for years, but behaviour depends on an animal's health and vice versa. Some behaviour problems are caused totally or partially due to medical problems. But this comes with its own diagnostic challenges for vets as apart from behavioural changes there are no other indications of illness. Camps. T, Amat. M, et al (2019)

Something that has encouraged and conversely put some clients off on initial contact is the recommendation of a Veterinary check to establish whether sudden behaviour changes or rescue dogs could be suffering with pain or ill health which has caused the change in behaviour.

When a dog presents with a new behaviour we have to explore all of the changes within yours and your dogs life, whether you have moved home, someone has moved in or out, any surgery, any attacks or incidents, a new dog in the home, sudden periods of separation and much more which could influence behaviour or if there's anything medically happening.

Dogs are very good at hiding pain and illness, we have to be mindful that no two dogs will show the same behaviours of expression of pain, especially depending on their pain threshold as some injuries or pain may be slow in developing to big gestures of limping or vocalisations. There can be more subtle signs such as changes in pupil dilation, restlessness, changes in appetite or behaviour, increased or reduced physical activity and even a bite from a normally friendly dog.

You may not see any behaviour change at all as we didn't with Koda, instead her unwellness was physical and could be visually seen.

Some people also think that when we say vet check that we mean a booster appointment for a vaccination.

Instead a Vet check with an integrative vet can ensure that there is nothing going on medically and that this is behavioural and not medically related as pain is fluid and vets tend to simply look at isolation pain and not chronic pain or unwellness. An integrative vet will see the dog as an individual and do a blood panel, possibly a pain trial and ask you lots of questions to get a better picture. Recording videos of the dogs movements and behaviours can also be a great starting point for the vets.

Within another research study researchers found that veterinarians were criticised for not discussing or investigating behavioural problems with dog guardians, so the researchers set up on a fly on the wall approach. 17 consultations were set up with 6 veterinarians, the dog guardians were asked to share their concerns about behaviour which resulted in 58 behaviours of concern across the total and found that only 10 of the consultations out of 58 had been discussed. With the dog guardians having to bring up the topic of behavioural concerns that they had. Roshier, A. L. (2013)

A previous study five years earlier observed wellness appointments and health problem appointments and found that 90% of the conversation focused on the health problem focusing on the biomedical data whereas in wellness appointments, 50% of the conversation is based on gathering information and 27% based on owner education and that due to dogs only going to the vets when unwell or for boosters is the only opportunity to discuss welfare. Shaw.J, et al (2008).

Which as a form of confusion that we find when discussing vet checks with dog guardians makes sense as to why when we ask or recommend a Vet check that dog guardians (guardians) typically tell us that nothing was wrong and or discussed at the booster appointment.

There were also two main barriers found in the question of: "Do you have any concerns?" in that dog guardians felt embarrassed or that the behaviour was trivial and that dog guardians needed a flow of conversation to be able to open up. Robinson. J. D, (2001)

This second part is really important because when we use a client centred approach with dog guardians and help them to feel empowered, more people do talk at ease and even though emotions come up, there is no sense of embarrassment. When we actively listen this helps people to talk, and empowers the dog owner to speak up about how you feel, how behaviour might be affecting you and then we come full circle to how we can help. Because both ends of the leads are equally important.

This study goes onto discuss welfare in dogs and dog guardians (guardians) legal duties under the Animal Welfare Act (2006) which I have discussed before. The study finishes with the conclusion of understanding animal and owner needs for best welfare practice aimed at vets. Short, C. E. (1998)

But all professionals who work with dogs have an ethical duty of care to best inform dog guardians with education on why vet checks are vital and why doing particular things with dogs and meeting their biological needs is so important. This is why we also share a welfare responsibility for dogs who we work with because we need to best support the primary caregiver and families of their dog.

So if your dog is showing changes in behaviour or you have a new dog and you're worried about some of the behaviours, please don't be worried about reaching out for help and discussing these worries. Either with your vet or reach out to a behaviourist. You should always be made to feel empowered, valid and supported.

There are no silly questions or concerns, if you are worried about something it's much better to ask and if you aren't happy with the answer you can absolutely get another opinion. This doesn't make you a "Karen or a Kevin" as many people do worry they will quickly become a social media slur and considering people's feelings and worries as much as we might chuckle at these expressions of names to label someone difficult, the truth is more people dare not speak up when something is bothering them because of silly social media quips.

If you don't feel you have a good relationship with your vet then you may find that speaking to a Canine Chiropractor, hydrotherapist, physiotherapist more empowering and asking for their evaluation of their professional opinion. This doesn't mean that they can give a medical diagnosis but they can support you with a specific referral to the vet with specific instructions of what needs to be explored.

Always speak up, always ask questions, your feelings are valid and there is nothing to be embarrassed about and even if you cannot pinpoint how your dog could be ill or in pain, remember they hide pain and unwellness well.

Being a disabled therian — My experience with dysphoria + a bit of a ramble

I was feeling really dysphoric as a disabled therian about how my theriotype (saarloos wolfdog) is so active typically speaking, and how much I long to be that way. I’m lucky enough where because ice is an alleviating factor in my chronic pain due to fibromyalgia I can still figure skate (which does give me species euphoria) albeit in shorter bursts than before to allow rest and not dislocate anything. Well, I was feeling dysphoric to an extent about how I have to use ankle and knee braces, as well as a cane soon enough which is coming in, and I saw this!

This guy is using a brace to support himself just like I do! I felt so much happier and thought about other things that relate my disability to my alterhumanity. So, I remembered these:

- Canines can also use braces to support themselves.

- Canines, including saarloos wolfdogs, frequently can have joint issues, which is something I also deal with as someone with ehler danlos syndrome.

- Canines with chronic illnesses also need rest periods.

- Soft bedding and ensuring a warm, comfortable environment helps manage pain, akin to how I use ergonomic aids and heating pads.

- With pain management medications and supplements, such as glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids, are used to manage pain in canines too.

- Hydrotherapy and gentle exercises (like physical therapy) can help maintain muscle strength and joint stability in canines, which I also do.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my ramble session, I just wanted to share. Please reblog with things related to your disability and your theriotype in anyway, I need to see more disabled therians in the community and would love to see your input!!!

How Dog Knee Braces Aid in Rehabilitation

It was a routine day at the park when Lucy, a playful Labrador, suddenly pulled up lame after a jump. Her owner, Amanda, watched in concern as Lucy struggled to put weight on her back leg. After a trip to the vet, the news was tough: Lucy had torn her cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), one of the most common injuries in active dogs. Faced with the daunting prospect of surgery and a lengthy recovery, Amanda wondered if there was another option. That’s when her vet suggested a dog knee brace as part of Lucy’s rehabilitation plan.

Understanding Canine Knee Injuries

Dog knee injuries, particularly cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears, are alarmingly common. The CCL is the equivalent of the ACL in humans, and it’s essential for stabilizing the knee during movement. According to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), up to 20% of dogs will experience a CCL injury at some point in their lives. Large, active breeds like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and Rottweilers are especially prone to this injury.

However, CCL tears are not the only issue that affects dogs' knees. Conditions like patellar luxation—when the kneecap moves out of place—and arthritis in older dogs can also severely limit mobility. These conditions make it difficult for dogs to enjoy their normal activities and often lead to further complications if not properly managed.

How Dog Knee Braces Aid in Rehabilitation

When dogs injure their knees, the path to recovery often includes surgery. But surgery isn't always the best or only option. Dog knee braces have become a popular and effective alternative for aiding recovery, either in conjunction with surgery or as a standalone solution. A knee brace for dogs stabilizes the joint, reducing strain on the injured ligament and allowing the body to begin the natural healing process.

One of the key benefits of a dog knee brace is that it provides immediate relief by limiting motion in the affected knee. This reduces pain and swelling while giving the ligament the support it needs to heal properly. Braces are particularly helpful in cases of partial CCL tears, where the injury isn’t severe enough to warrant surgery but still requires stabilization to avoid further damage.

What many websites don’t mention is that these braces can also play a preventative role. Dogs who suffer a knee injury in one leg often shift their weight to the opposite leg, increasing the likelihood of injuring the other knee. In fact, research shows that 40-60% of dogs who suffer a CCL tear in one leg will tear the other within two years. By using dog braces on both legs, owners can reduce the risk of this secondary injury.

The Rehabilitation Process: More Than Just the Brace

While a dog knee brace is a valuable tool, it’s important to understand that rehabilitation involves more than just wearing the brace. A well-rounded rehab plan typically includes physical therapy to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee and improve flexibility. This can involve exercises like hydrotherapy, walking on an underwater treadmill, and controlled range-of-motion activities. The combination of physical therapy and a knee brace can improve recovery time by 30% compared to braces alone.

Another aspect of rehabilitation that’s often overlooked is weight management. Excess weight puts additional strain on a dog’s joints, making it harder for the injured knee to heal and increasing the risk of further complications. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, over 56% of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese, which can significantly slow down the healing process.

Dog Knee Braces for Arthritis

While dog braces are often associated with injury recovery, they can also provide long-term benefits for dogs suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis. Arthritis causes joint pain and stiffness, making it difficult for dogs to walk, run, or even get up from a resting position. A knee brace for dogs with arthritis can help by supporting the joint, reducing the painful bone-on-bone friction that characterizes the disease. Many senior dogs experience increased mobility and comfort after wearing a brace for just a few weeks.

Choosing the Right Brace

Not all braces are created equal, and finding the right knee brace for dogs is crucial to effective rehabilitation. Custom braces, which are fitted specifically to your dog’s leg, offer the best support and comfort. However, off-the-shelf braces can also be effective, particularly in cases of mild injuries or as part of a preventative care plan. It’s essential to consult with your vet to ensure the brace fits properly and is appropriate for your dog’s condition.

Conclusion

For dogs like Lucy, a dog knee brace can make all the difference in the road to recovery. Whether dealing with a torn ligament, arthritis, or patellar luxation, dog knee braces provide the support needed to restore mobility and improve quality of life. By combining braces with proper physical therapy, weight management, and preventive care, many dogs can recover without the need for surgery. Ultimately, a dog knee brace isn’t just a temporary aid—it’s a vital part of long-term health and happiness for our furry friends.

Fortunately, there are several home remedies and natural treatments that can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis in dogs. These remedies range from dietary supplements to herbal treatments and lifestyle adjustments, all aimed at reducing inflammation and pain.

Home Remedies for Canine Arthritis

Massage and Physical Therapy: Massage can help improve circulation and reduce muscle tension around the joints. Physical therapy, including hydrotherapy and gentle exercises, can also strengthen the muscles around the joints and improve mobility.

Herbal Remedies for Arthritis in Dogs

Herbal remedies for arthritis in dogs can be an effective way to manage pain and inflammation naturally. Some commonly used herbs include:

Turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Adding a small amount of turmeric to your dog’s diet can help reduce inflammation and pain.

Boswellia: Boswellia, also known as Indian frankincense, has been used for centuries to treat chronic inflammatory conditions. It can help reduce pain and improve joint function in dogs with arthritis.

Yucca: Yucca is a plant known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Supplements containing yucca extract can be a natural remedy for dog arthritis.

The Benefits of Hydrotherapy Treadmills for Dogs

Hydrotherapy treadmills are becoming a staple in veterinary rehabilitation centers and for good reason. These machines offer numerous benefits that cater to the specific needs of dogs recovering from injuries or surgeries, as well as those suffering from chronic conditions. Let’s explore how hydrotherapy treadmills are transforming canine care.

What is a Hydrotherapy Treadmill?

A hydrotherapy treadmill is a specialized device where dogs can walk or run on a treadmill belt submerged in water. This setup provides a controlled environment where the buoyancy of the water reduces the impact on joints, making it easier for dogs to move without pain.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy Treadmills

Reduced Joint Stress: The buoyancy of water supports the dog’s weight, reducing stress on joints and making it easier for dogs with arthritis or hip dysplasia to exercise.

Improved Mobility and Strength: The resistance of the water helps in building muscle strength and improving cardiovascular health without the high impact of land-based exercises.

Accelerated Recovery: For dogs recovering from surgery or injury, hydrotherapy treadmills can expedite the healing process by allowing gentle, controlled movement that enhances circulation and reduces swelling.

Pain Management: The warm water used in hydrotherapy can soothe aching muscles and joints, providing natural pain relief.

Weight Management: Hydrotherapy is an excellent way for overweight dogs to exercise without putting additional strain on their joints, helping them to lose weight in a safe manner.

Case Studies and Success Stories

Many veterinary clinics report remarkable success stories with the use of hydrotherapy treadmills. For instance, a Labrador Retriever suffering from severe arthritis showed significant improvement in mobility and reduction in pain after just a few weeks of hydrotherapy sessions. Similarly, a post-surgical Dachshund with a spinal injury was able to regain its ability to walk much faster than expected due to regular hydrotherapy.

Choosing the Right Hydrotherapy Treadmill

When selecting a hydrotherapy treadmill, it’s essential to consider features such as adjustable water levels, ease of entry and exit for the dog, and the quality of materials used. Leading manufacturers like Hydro Physio and Ferno provide a range of options designed to meet various needs.

Conclusion

Hydrotherapy treadmills offer a myriad of benefits for canine health, making them an invaluable tool in veterinary rehabilitation. By providing a low-impact, high-benefit exercise option, these machines are helping countless dogs lead healthier, more active lives.

Enjoying the Waves- The Ultimate Guide to Dog Swimming Floats

As summer rolls around, many of us eagerly anticipate the refreshing sensation of diving into a pool or taking a dip in the ocean. And while we humans may find solace in the water, our furry friends often share our enthusiasm for aquatic adventures. However, just like us, dogs require proper safety measures when venturing into the water. This is where dog swimming float come into play, offering a buoyant solution for keeping your canine companion safe while they enjoy their aquatic escapades.

Understanding Dog Swimming Floats

Dog swimming floats are specially designed devices that provide buoyancy to your pet while they swim. These floats typically come in the form of vests or jackets equipped with flotation panels or foam inserts. The primary purpose of these floats is to assist dogs in staying afloat and maintaining their position in the water, thereby reducing the risk of fatigue or drowning.

Benefits of Dog Swimming Floats

Safety: The foremost benefit of dog swimming floats is enhanced safety. Even for dogs with excellent swimming abilities, unexpected situations such as strong currents or fatigue can pose risks. A swimming float provides an additional layer of protection, ensuring that your canine companion remains buoyant and visible in the water.

Confidence Building: For novice swimmers or dogs with apprehensions about water, swimming floats can serve as confidence boosters. The added support and stability offered by the float can help dogs feel more secure, encouraging them to explore and enjoy their aquatic surroundings.

Physical Support: Just like humans, dogs can experience physical ailments or limitations that affect their ability to swim effectively. Swimming floats provide valuable support for dogs with conditions such as arthritis, muscle weakness, or injuries, allowing them to engage in low-impact aquatic exercise without straining their bodies.

Visibility: Many dog swimming floats are designed with bright colors or reflective elements, enhancing visibility in the water. This increased visibility not only makes it easier for pet owners to keep track of their dogs but also ensures that other watercraft or beachgoers can easily spot and avoid them.

Versatility: Dog swimming floats are suitable for various water activities, including swimming, boating, and even hydrotherapy sessions. Whether you're spending a day at the beach, enjoying a boat ride on the lake, or engaging in structured water workouts with your pet, a swimming float provides reliable buoyancy wherever water is involved.

Choosing the Right Dog Swimming Float

When selecting a swimming float for your dog, several factors should be considered to ensure optimal safety and comfort:

Size and Fit: Choose a float that is appropriate for your dog's size and breed. The float should fit snugly without constricting movement or causing discomfort.

Buoyancy: Opt for a float with sufficient buoyancy to support your dog's weight comfortably. Ensure that the float keeps your dog's head above water without riding up or shifting excessively.

Material: Look for floats made from durable, water-resistant materials that can withstand exposure to moisture and sunlight. Additionally, choose materials that are easy to clean and maintain.

Adjustability: Select a float with adjustable straps or closures to achieve a customized fit for your dog. This allows for flexibility as your dog grows or if adjustments are needed for comfort.

Safety Features: Check for safety features such as reflective accents, sturdy handles for lifting or guiding your dog, and secure fastenings to prevent the float from slipping off.

Conclusion

Dog swimming float offer a valuable solution for ensuring the safety and enjoyment of our canine companions during water activities. By providing buoyancy, support, and visibility, these floats enable dogs to explore their aquatic instincts while minimizing risks. Whether your dog is a seasoned swimmer or just dipping their paws into the water for the first time, a swimming float can enhance their aquatic adventures and foster a deeper bond between pet and owner. So, this summer, don't forget to equip your furry friend with the ultimate accessory for making a splash safely – a dog swimming float!
