Hi Friend,

Good morning and welcome to Thursday.

I am currently nursing a sore lower back…there’s the problem of thinking I am 20 while being in my 40’s…..

Shovelling snow

Skate Skiing

Alpine Ski Racing

Wrestling with dogs/children

Then ‘the kicker’…having my wife show me some advanced Pilates move to ‘strengthen’ my core..

NOW that did me in..

Currently I am enjoying a Ice Pack, and I realize how very FEW of us ever do this for our dogs.

In fact I have a BRAND NEW video called At Home Rehabilitation Therapy for Dogs and Cats..You can see it now for $9.97 here:

Holistic Pain Relief

By cooling down the surgery site, you provide essential anti-inflammatory effects and as a result decrease pain associated with the surgery. If you are using a commercial ice pack, place a pillowcase over it to protect your dog's skin.

Ice Massage.
 
You can accomplish this by freezing small Dixie cups with Popsicle sticks in them to provide a handle.

Gently rub the surgical area with the ice for approximately 10 minutes.

Be aware that your dog will experience the same sensations that we would with icing.

At first they will feel cold, then a burning sensation, then an aching sensation, and then finally numbness.

Once at the numbing stage they usually do not squirm.
 

Heal Your Pet At Home!

Best Wishes,

Dr Andrew Jones, DVM


P.S. My BRAND NEW video is called At Home Rehabilitation Therapy for Dogs and Cats…
