Ayesha and Kelly are our Weight Management nurses and offer clinics to assess your pets body condition score and weight and tailor an individual nutrition plan for your pet so that they maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. This can either be a weight loss or weight gain programme, once an initial target weight has been calculated.
Our dental nurse will go through tooth brushing and oral care for your pet. We are able to use a special oral stain too to show you areas where plaque has built up on your pets tooth surfaces and therefore the areas to specifically concentrate on when brushing. We will keep a dental record for your pet and complete an oral health booklet. Dental diets can also be discussed and advised on what would be best to feed your pet.
Donna runs the mobility/rehabilitation clinics. The mobility clinics allow Donna to assess your pet’s stance, gait and palpate their muscles and joints etc. to identify problem areas. This allows Donna to implement a plan for each individual patient to aid with their mobility. Weight, nutrition, exercise, joint supplements, home physiotherapy, medication, complementary therapies and home adaptations are all discussed. You will also go home with your own rehabilitation plan with pictures and videos. Your pet’s muscle mass and joint flexion/extension is measured along with advice on activity levels.
The in house rehabilitation clinics allow appropriate exercises to be selected for the condition your pet suffers with. These can be implemented for any pet with any mobility issue. Donna works with these patients carrying out soft tissue massage, passive range of motion exercises, active range of motion exercises; which include improving range of motion, strengthening, core and stability, balance and proprioception.
