End of the week finished with a lovely CPD session for the team at Leiston Veterinary Clinic with some great discussions 🐾🩺

All about enriching mobility clinics, prevention & the role of physiotherapy in the collaborative approach to musculoskeletal health.

Jokes aside, Frenchies are full of personality but their selective breeding comes with beyond significant physical challenges.

🩺 Besides common medical issues like BOAS (severe breathing problem), allergies and eye conditions, they also suffer from major musculoskeletal problems:

💥 IVDD & Spinal Issues leading to painful disc herniations and paralysis.

🦴 Hip Dysplasia & Patellar Luxation: leads to abnormal wear, early-onset arthritis and altered gait.

🔜 Compensatory Muscle Strain: Front-heavy proportions and hindlimb pathologies place chronic overload on their neck, shoulders and forelimbs.

✔️ If your friends or family are considering a Frenchie, make sure they are fully informed before taking the step.

No dog should be bred to suffer.

It’s not just Frenchies - would you like to know which other breeds weren’t bred for health? Let me know in the comments. 🐾

If you expect any of these 3 things on my session, I am not for you:

🚫 Wrestling your dog down. Forcing a dog into a position is not a way forward. There is a difference in working on a dog and working with a dog. I put emphasis on positive association and fear free approach.

🚫 Quick fixes. Rehabilitation is a journey and relies heavily on consistency, home exercise diligence and small daily wins.

🚫 A reliance solely on “magic” modalities. While electrotherapies a can greatly support tissue healing and pain relief, they don’t replace manual therapy and tailored, progressive exercise.

Canine Degenerative Myelopathy is a progressive neurological disease characterised by loss of the spinal cord’s white matter. Despite its non-painful nature, it leads to ataxia and paralysis.

📊A study by Kathmann et al. (2006) found that dogs with an intensive rehab routine survived more than 4x longer than those receiving no physiotherapy, maintaining their ability to walk independently for significantly longer.

🐾 While DM has no cure, targeted, daily physical rehabilitation remains the most effective tool to slow disease progression and extend quality time. German shepherds are a commonly affected breed.

Have you seen a horse swinging their forelimbs outwards when walking? Were their hooves pointing in in stance?

A Swedish stud found that about 50% of warmbloods have a mild “toe in/pigeon toed” conformation without impact on performance (Holmström et al., 1990).

However, depending in the severity, toe in changes how forces move through the entire limb:

1️⃣ Pressure is shifted laterally, leading to lateral landing and lateral breakover (Shahkhosravi et al., 2021).

2️⃣ Uneven impact places extra tension on collateral ligaments.

3️⃣ Compensatory muscle strain in the shoulder region, thorax and back.

💡 Balanced farriery and managing muscle tension is key.

Does your horse toe in or out? Is it their confirmation or is it acquired due to a pathology? Let me know ⤵️

Up to 87% of ridden horses show signs of musculoskeletal pain (Dyson & Pollard, 2020).

This is not a small number - this is majority of horses you ride past at your next competition. 🐎

Many horses are ridden through discomfort. Let’s imagine they weren’t - how much better they could perform? Most importantly, how much happier and more comfortable would they be?

Preventive checks are not a luxury, they are a necessity. Especially in a non verbal being an animal is. Let’s normalise that. 👀🤍

I came to the conclusion that this post needs no caption as to why I love my job so much and why the best pay will always be a happier, healthier pet. 🤍🐾
