Beryl is bright and alert in herself, eating and toileting normally. Body condition 6/9. No issues reported in terms of performance. Gait assessment –In walk Beryl is straight moving with the forelimbs and this looks to have improved since the last visit. Her foot balance is good and front shoes are in good repair. In the hindlimbs there is increased pelvic excursion on the right hand-side indicating a mild lameness of the right hindlimb. Base wide movement with hindlimbs, lateral circumduction both hindlimbs in walk. Limited tarsal flexion in the hindlimbs. Tracks up bilaterally with both hindlimbs and lands well on all four feet. From caudal view ribcage is held left and head to the right with increased pelvic motion to the right. Palpation - Reduced neck mobility to the right, improved from last visit. Increased tension around poll and forelimb retractor muscles around her shoulders. Spinal range of motion reduced in dorsiflexion. Pelvic tilts limited but achieved. Tends to hold pelvis in flexion and resist extension. Lumbar region showing spasming and trigger points. Hip holds were not tolerated well but aided release. Slightly dropped back and weak epaxials. Limited hindlimb retraction ability bilaterally and hindlimb protraction. horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162
