Norman – Exercise Prescription
28/11/22
Norman was seen as he had become increasingly uncomfortable following
the eruption of his adult teeth. Norman moved straight in front and was
narrow chested and croup high. The hindlimbs had increased difficulty
staying under the midline and carrying the weight of his body
effectively.
Norman showed some spasming and tension in his shoulders and underside
of his neck which will limit his forward leg movement in front. His jaw
and Temporo-mandibular joint were reactive and there was increased
tension here and into the poll region.
2x a week
Other
- Try to have some hay fed from the floor to encourage the lower jaw to
slide forwards and grind the teeth evenly
- Feeding frozen Carrots or other root veggies can help teething and
cool the area if it is sore and inflamed.
- Feeding lower down will also reduce the neck tension Norman gets in
the poll area and lower portions of the neck
