In this heartfelt episode, Anthony Schena, CCAT, dives into a topic close to his heart: the often-overlooked realm of senior pets and their unique rehabilitation needs. ๐ถ๐ผ
Anthony emphasizes that our aging furry friends face challenges, often silently, and it's our duty to recognize and address them. Their silent battles deserve our undivided attention, and it's time we amplify the voices of our senior pets. ๐ฃ๏ธ๐พ
Senior pets, like humans, face age-related issues such as arthritis, sarcopenia (decreased muscle tone), vision and hearing impairments. These natural aging processes are often overlooked or dismissed as "just getting old," leading to many senior dogs suffering in silence. ๐ข๐
In this episode, Anthony discusses:
- The factors contributing to the sidelining of senior pets' needs, including lack of awareness, acceptance of decreased activity as normal, and emotional denial ๐๐ญ
- How animal rehabilitation offers a holistic approach, addressing physical, neurological, and emotional well-being through tailored techniques like joint mobilization, massages, warm water therapy, laser therapy, and shockwave ๐ฉน๐
- The importance of recognizing subtle changes in senior pets, such as reluctance to jump, difficulty standing up, or decreased playfulness ๐๐พ
- Pain management as a cornerstone of senior pet care, with options like acupuncture, therapeutic modalities, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercises ๐๐งโโ๏ธ
- The role of nutrition and supplements in supporting aging bodies and managing health conditions ๐๐
- Simple home modifications that can make a significant difference in a senior pet's quality of life ๐ ๐พ
Anthony shares heartwarming rehab stories, including his own dog Miles, who inspired him to enter the animal rehab world, and Daisy, a 13-year-old Labrador who rediscovered her zest for life through personalized rehab. ๐ถโจ
These stories teach us that age is not a disease, and with the right care, senior pets can lead happy, comfortable lives. They remind us why we do what we do: to give every animal, young or old, the best quality of life possible. ๐๐พ
Anthony calls for amplified awareness about senior pet challenges, urging caregivers to push for regular checkups, early interventions, and lots of love. By sharing knowledge, resources, and success stories, we can ensure our aging furry companions receive the care they so richly deserve. ๐ฃ๐
As the episode concludes, Anthony reminds us that our senior pets have given us years of unconditional love, and it's our duty to ensure their golden years are comfortable and joyful. Let's be their voice, their advocates, ensuring they don't suffer in silence. ๐ฃ๏ธ๐พ

In this informative episode, Anthony Schena, CCAT, takes us on a journey through the crucial process of post-operative care for our furry companions, emphasizing that surgery is just the beginning of the road to recovery. ๐ฅ๐
Anthony explains that the post-operative period is critical for our pets, as it determines how well they heal and regain function. Proper care ensures complications are avoided and maximizes recovery potential, setting the stage for the animal's long-term well-being. ๐ฉบ๐ถ
The journey starts at the vet clinic, where understanding the surgery, its implications, and the vet's post-op recommendations are crucial. From there, it's about ensuring a safe, comfortable environment at home, managing pain, monitoring for complications, and incorporating physical rehabilitation. ๐ ๐ฉน
In this episode, Anthony dives into the specifics of post-op rehab, which may involve:
- A range of modalities from gentle passive movements and stretching to more advanced exercises ๐งโโ๏ธ๐พ
- Techniques like massage, joint mobilizations, and the use of equipment such as balance boards or underwater treadmills ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
- Magical modalities like shockwave and laser therapy โจ๐ฆ
The underwater treadmill is particularly versatile in post-op care, allowing for controlled, low-impact movement that helps dogs build strength without straining their surgical sites. ๐๐ช
The timing of starting rehabilitation varies depending on the surgery and the individual animal, with some requiring gentle movements within a day while others may need weeks. A customized approach based on professional assessments is key. ๐๏ธ๐ฉบ
Anthony addresses the challenges pet owners face during this time, particularly the need for patience, as recovery is a process, not an event. ๐โฐ
Nutrition also plays a vital role in promoting healing, with specific dietary changes or supplements like omega fatty acids or glucosamine recommended depending on the surgery and the dog's condition. ๐๐
Emotional recovery is as essential as physical recovery, and keeping pets engaged with toys, gentle play, and love and attention aids their mental well-being. ๐งธ๐
Anthony shares a standout recovery story about Diesel, a blue nose pitbull who underwent TPLO surgery and successfully returned to chasing balls and frisbees in his favorite park. ๐ถ๐พ
For dog owners anticipating surgery for their pets, Anthony advises preparation, understanding the procedure, discussing concerns with the vet, setting up a post-op safe zone at home, and considering pre-surgical rehab to condition the animal. Staying positive, celebrating small victories, and trusting in the process are essential. ๐๐ช
As the episode concludes, Anthony reminds us that the road to recovery is a path filled with challenges but also immense rewards as we see our furry friends bounce back to their joyful selves. ๐๐พ

Anthony explains that therapeutic exercise is like specialized workouts tailored to an animal's specific needs, drawing inspiration from kinesiology, biomechanics, and neurology to foster healing, enhance body awareness, and cultivate optimal well-being. ๐ถ๐ช

3. Endurance exercises like controlled leash walks and slow-paced ball fetching to gradually improve cardiovascular health ๐โโ๏ธ๐พ
4. Flexibility and mobility exercises, including stretches to enhance flexibility, promote circulation, and fortify the body against injuries ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ถ
Anthony emphasizes the importance of making therapeutic exercise fun and engaging for the animals, using treats, toys, and positive reinforcement. ๐๐
Specific exercises are tailored to different conditions, from gentle mobilizations for post-op dogs to plyometric exercises for athletic dogs aiming to enhance performance. ๐ฉน๐
The effectiveness of a therapeutic exercise plan is gauged by factors like the animal's mobility, pain levels, overall functionality, and pet owner feedback. ๐๐พ
Pet owners play a crucial role in implementing exercises at home and ensuring consistency, while professionals are advised to stay informed and updated on the latest research and techniques. ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐
Anthony shares common mistakes pet owners might make, such as overenthusiasm leading to over-exertion, skipping warm-ups, expecting instant results, or ignoring the dog's feedback. ๐
โโ๏ธ๐ถ
Challenges in therapeutic exercise include ensuring compliance and adjusting based on the animal's tolerance and response to exercises. ๐ข๐ก
The most rewarding aspect for Anthony is seeing an animal regain its zest for life and knowing he played a role in that journey. ๐๐พ
As the episode concludes, Anthony reminds us that therapeutic exercise is a language of healing and hope, celebrating each step, stretch, and triumphant leap in the unique rhythm of each animal's recovery. ๐๐ถ
