Charly came to us after a particularly bad start in life. She was a very nervous girl and spent much of her time licking and chewing at herself which left her raw under her arms and tummy with large sores on her paws and legs. After a diagnosis of lick granuloma and numerous visits to the vet, and a series of unsuccessful treatments consisting of tablets, creams and at one stage anti-depressants which turned the long suffering dog into a marshmallow my friend suggested contacting Siobhan.
On the first visit, in under a minute Siobhan identified a hip problem that had previously been un-diagnosed and as it turned out this chronic pain accounted for the continued licking. Siobhan and Elsa started acupuncture, laser treatment and sessions on the underwater treadmill. The transformation was immediate and heartwarming, Charly’s entire posture and demeanour improved dramatically.
We've never looked back, Charly is on a 6 week maintenance program and is happy, pain free and needs no medication whatsoever. I have owned dogs my entire life and in spite of positive introductions to vets none of my dogs have enjoyed their appointments... not so with Charly... all I have to say "Will we go see Siobhan and Elsa?" and she bounds out of the house and into the car, she adores them both. They have transformed her life, both Siobhan and Elsa are the incredibly skilled and genuine people and I can't thank them enough for turning my sore, depressed Charly into an energetic, active and happy dog.
