When Instability Changes Strategy, Not Effort with Ané Lloyd

In this episode, we're unpacking a recent study by Ramos et al. (2025) exploring how progressively unstable surfaces influence postural control and muscle activation in dogs. While the findings confirm that instability increases spinal movement, what's more interesting is how muscle activation changes - not simply increases. Instead, we see a redistribution of effort, with greater abdominal activation and reduced contribution from some larger, more superficial muscles. Clinically, this raises important questions. These exercises were all static, meaning they primarily challenge stabilisers - not the muscles responsible for movement. So how often are we matching our exercise selection to the actual function of the muscles we want to target? And how can we better integrate instability with dynamic tasks to make our rehab more functionally relevant?

Musculoskeletal Adverse Events Associated with Librela with Andrew Armitage

Dr Andrew Armitage from Greenside Referrals in the UK joined Ané for a Facebook Live where they discussed the adverse events associated with the use of Librela. In the live session, Andy shared a short presentation that includes radiographs and descriptions of the bony changes he sees in some of the dogs that experience adverse events from the use of Librela. He explains that we typically see one of two patterns - rapidly progressive joint destruction, which can occur within 2 treatments; and insidious periarticular mineralisation syndrome, which typically develops over a longer period of use. This has a few different presentations, with the strangest being popcorn mineralisation and stegosaurus exostosis... The full recording with the presentation is available in the Onlinepethealth members' libraries or on our YouTube Channel. For the podcast, we have removed the presentation and are instead sharing the discussion, questions, and conversation with Andy and the community.

Behind The Vet Rehab Practice with Jodie Watson

In this episode, Megan talks to Jodie about her decision to downsize her practice and move it into her home to reduce overhead costs. She shares the challenges that came with the transition, including how relocating her practice affected her client base. While many clients continued to work with her, others found the new location less convenient, requiring her to adapt and grow her practice in new ways. Jodie also discusses the realities of working from home, how she has learned to balance her professional and personal life, and why, despite the challenges, she would not have it any other way.
