Soi Dog Foundation's video: Physiotherapy for rescued street dogs and cats of Thailand

Soi Dog’s physiotherapy team, Mali and Anya, faced the camera recently to talk about the importance of physiotherapy for the rehabilitation and pain management of dogs and cats suffering from different degrees of injury. This is especially true for those animals who are victims of road traffic accidents. The most common conditions treated here at Soi Dog using physiotherapy include paralysis, hip dysplasia, neurological impairment, spinal injury, orthopedic conditions, weight management and postoperative care. You can read more about the physio team in our June newsletter - Soi Dog Post: ‘Paws in motion' Inside the team that keeps Soi Dog moving’ on page 20 of our June newsletter: https://links.soidog.org/Soi-Dog-Post-June-2020 Meanwhile, as pet owners, it is important that we are able to read the common signs of pain of our dogs' and cats’ overall wellbeing. Limping or whimpering may be obvious signs; however, there are far less obvious ways in which you can tell whether your pet is experiencing pain, and being aware of these can ensure you seek help as soon as possible and prevent them from suffering in silence. Here are a of couple questions to consider: Does my pet have difficulty standing up after lying or sitting down? Is my pet stiff or limping after exercise? Does my pet have difficulty going up and down stairs? When does self-grooming become too excessive? Does my pet seem less active than usual? Is it normal for my pet to lose their appetite from time to time? Please remember to be on the lookout for abnormal behaviours in your pet and contact a veterinarian if you think they might be in might be in pain. We also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who donated to Soi Dog's rehabilitation unit. Countless number of animals owe their now pain-free lives to YOU. . . . . .
