VetPhysioLife Episode 10

In this episode we get an update on some of the cases Kim has seen in the last couple of days. We discuss wobble boards vs. wobble cushions. And we hear how well a Cockapoo with a suspected partial cruciate ligament tear is doing.   We also chat about the benefits Kim sees of providing her physiotherapy and rehab services to dogs in their home environment.   Some terms Kim mentions:   Syringomyelia when talking about one of her Pug patients. You can find out more about this condition here.   FCE: this is a fibrocartilaginous embolism. There is a blockage of the blood supply to part of the spinal cord. The result is loss of function of that part of the spinal cord. It is a problem from which dogs can recover.   Cranial cruciate ligament: this is the key ligament in the knee of the dog (cat, human etc.).
