We start by catching up on the elderly Weimaraner we discussed in Episode 23. He is making progress but not without some ups and downs. These relate to his age, other mobility issues and discomfort. Kim will be seeing him again on Monday and we will keep you updated on his progress.

During the discussion, Kim mentions the LASER treatment she has been doing with him. You can read more about this therapy here.

We go on to discuss the importance of keeping moving during recovery from injury. This is especially true in older patients but applies to everyone. It needs to be balanced with not overdoing it. But leaving an animal immobile is not good for their recovery. While it may seem kinder, especially if they are uncomfortable or reluctant to move, it is not.

We then discuss the need to reassess patients and to have a dynamic approach to their management. Every patient is an individual with different environmental factors and pet carers.

We round off with a quick update on Kim's regular patients.
