Meet Zoe

She is a 2 year old Corgi. Zoe dislocated her elbow and had a bandage applied to her right front limb. Unfortunately the bandage became wet and constricted the circulation to her paw resulting in necrosis (tissue death). Her vet performed several operations to save the paw, but she unfortunately lost two digits and has significant scar tissue in the paw. Recent radiographs show early onset arthritis in the paw.

Sarah was initially consulted since Zoe struggles to walk on hard surfaces and to walk without limping.

Treatment goals for Zoe
- Address pain in the affected paw
- Mobilize scar tissue around the affected area
- Address compensation
- Weight management
- Improve overall strength and stability

These goals are addressed by:

- Soft tissue release of muscles and fascia
- Low Level Laser Therapy
- Passive range of motion and mobilisation of digits
- Nail trimming
- Targeted exercises

Zoe continues to see Sarah weekly for management and support. Zoe enjoys her time with Sarah and is showing improvement in her biomechanics, movement and comfort levels of the paw.

When your animal needs bandages, casts or braces please check them often and keep dry unless instructed otherwise. Contact your vet or vet physio should you have any concerns.
