In a very short period of time this puppy has doubled in size and weight in a month!  If you remember Stella she was rescued from the RSPCA with a leg fracture when only 5 weeks old.

With such keen and dedicated new owners she is turning into a beautiful (and HUGE) puppy.  She is walking and playing well and definitely as quality of life now.  We have added some underwater treadmill, physiotherapy and acupuncture to her treatments.  It is certainly nice to see her pass out for brief periods with her acupuncture

AND NOW......


I look forward to following her progression until she is fully grown and back to full exercise. She has a very bright future now thanks to her new owners.

I was honored to be invited to talk at the Ridgeback club of QLD on Sunday in Brisbane about Animal Physiotherapy.  What a great day with a bunch of such beautiful dogs (and owners!).  The owners were happy to receive information on injury prevention and a few of the older ridgies seemed to enjoy their massage and treatment. 
The Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue club (www.rrcq.org) is a great organisation run by Ricki and Debbie to rehome rescue ridgebacks.  All their love and care for this breed of dog is palpable.  I wish them all well and hope some of the pooches managed to clean off the left over sausages.
