\”Are you the vet who comes to people\’s houses?\” she asked. It was early, and I was half asleep. I gathered myself together and replied… \”Yes, that\’s me – how can I help you?\” \”Well, my cat has a very sore, fat foot, he won\’t let me touch it, and he\’s just sitting there growling […]
I was typing, frantically, cursing every misspelling that I had to backspace and correct, sweating on the hubbub of the overflowing waiting. Trying to get the last case written up, and the medications sorted and… maybe, if I was lucky, take a sip of the vile, cold caffeine kick of my poor neglected coffee. A

\”He\’s been limping on one hind leg, you know,\” she told me. \”It\’s been going on for a couple of days – he won\’t use the steps, and I even found a wee out on the verandah here this morning- he\’s normally such a clean dog, so it must be hurting him. Of course his

\”He\’s got a terribly upset tummy again,\” she told me. \”He\’s breaking wind in the most alarming and toxic fashion, and running outside every 30 minutes or so to do small, runny poos. Otherwise he seems ok though.\” He was jumping all over me, a boxer with a waggly stump of a tail, wiggling in

I put a hand out to say hello, and the big, blocky, black and white staffy hardly even glanced at me. His head was down, and he was totally disengaged, a real contrast from the usual happy go lucky, jump all over you and lick you half to death behaviour that I\’d expect from staffies.
\”I\’m so glad you could come,\” she said, as she held open the door for me to come in. \”My poor dog has just had a second cruciate repair operation, after the first one went wrong, but I told you that on the phone yesterday, didn\’t I?\” \”Yes, you did,\” I answered. \”You said you
The dog walked into the consult room, head tipped to one side, with a very uncomfortable look in her eye. She flapped her head furiously, and whimpered a little… \”G\’day doc,\” The man said to me, with a smile. \”She\’s got something wrong with her ear, I reckon!\” \”Looks like it, \” I agreed. \”Let\’s
I thought that today I\’d share a little about how the Whole Energy Body Balance technique came to be. It all started about 17 years ago, when I was on a locum job in a town north of Perth, in Western Australia. The practice did quite a bit of horse work, and they had a
