Re: Shockwave - focused vs radial
Thank you for your input David😊I do see a lot of OA cases in eldrely dogs and dogs with comorbidities, so definetely preferable not having to sedate. If I was to go for a focused shockwave unit I think I’d need to be convinced that it would be truly superior to a radial unit. At the moment I’m not, ...

Shockwave - focused vs radial
Hi 😊 At the moment a shockwave unit is on top of my wish list. I’ve done some research and also read your Newsletters on the topic. However I still can’t decide wether I ought to go for a focused or radial shockwave unit. As I work in a Veterinary practice I have the option of sedating the animals f...

Radiofrequency-induced thermal capsulorraphy
I have a patient coming this week having had a RITC done two weeks ago. As the suregoen I work with doesn't perform these (because he doesn't like this technique for MSIs) I have never rehabbed one before and need some advice. 1 I know this is a somewhat debated technique and that some surgeons real...

Limping Boston Terrier

He's never had any health issues until he suddenly started lifting his left hind leg 1,5 months ago. The lifting of the leg looks the same as what one would excpect with a patellar luxation, on...

Gordon setter with hind limb lameness
I seem to be on a track of difficult cases lately... Sorry for posting again! :roll: Recently I've been seeing a 10 months old Gordon Setter with a hind limb issue.

I read your replay as soon as you postet it, but didn't have the time to reply and then forgot about it :) I agree that the video didn't look to disturbing, but I still feel (having tested the same in a lot of dogs after I ...

Re: Infraspinatus injury?
Thank you for your input :) I changed the massage with myofascial release and did the infraspinatus stretch (which he thought was quite uncomfortable initially). The muscle still feels a bit weird, but it is no longer painful upon palpation or stretching and only a very, very slight lameness can be ...

8 months old ME standard Poodle. Came to see us because he has been increasingly worried of walking down the stairs and owner was worried something was wrong. Owner says he easily lies down and are less playful than the other puppies in the litter (he's been like that ever since they got him at 8 w)...

Re: Acupuncture training
Perhaps a bit far to travel if you're in the US, but I recommend the aupuncture courses run by Longview CPD (Samantha Lindley); http://www.longviewveterinaryservices.com/cpd/western_veterinary_acupuncture.php. You can then do a GP (or Nurses) certificate through the European School of Veterinary Pos...
