Agility—the early days © ACT Companion Dog Club Inc 2018 *Recognised Hydrotherapy provider by Petplan* Canine hydrotherapy involves the use of swimming and underwater treadmills to help dogs recover following surgery or injury, and for pets with more long term mobility problems. Conditions we can treat with hydrotherapy at our facility include: • Arthritis • Hip and elbow dysplasia • Cruciate ligament rupture • Patella luxation • Degenerative myelopathy (formerly known as CDRM) • Spinal injuries including recovery from fractures and IV disc rupture (commonly known as a slipped disc) • Spondylosis - spinal arthritis • Mobility problems related to age • Obesity control The benefits of hydrotherapy are: • Decreased pain perception • Decreased pain and inflammation • Feeling of wellbeing due to release of endorphins • Relaxation of muscle tension and/or muscle spasm • Reduction of oedema (swelling) • Increased range of movement • Non weight bearing - it is easier and more comfortable to move in water so animals often gain confidence • Support for weakened or spinal injury dogs • Increased muscle strength • Improved muscle patterning and recruitment helping to improve gait patterns (reduction in lameness) • Improved cardiovascular fitness • Potentially earlier return to normal activities • Improved quality of life Contact us to see how our

  • Activities After Your Virtual Excursion with the Australian War Memorial
    Activities after your virtual excursion with the Australian War Memorial 1. Exhibition design Design your own exhibition about the area of conflict or peacekeeping that your class is studying. You might like to select a theme such as nursing, transport, animals, or people from your town, for example. You can also borrow a Memorial Box for two weeks, which contains various real and replica items that could be used for your display. Information on how to book a Memorial Box can be found here: https://www.awm.gov.au/learn/memorial-boxes 1 2. Create a postcard During times of war, families at home anxiously await news from their loved ones. Today, methods of communication such as phone, email, and social media make contact quick and easy. In the past however, it could take weeks or months to receive news by letter or postcard, which were sent to Australia by ship. Postcards were particularly popular in the First World War, as they included images of the faraway places visited by service people, at a time when cameras were uncommon. Service people could also get photographs of themselves turned into postcards; other cards were made to encourage patriotism and loyalty to Australia and the British Empire, for example. Design a postcard from a place where Australians have served, with either a drawing or a photograph for the front side. You could even stitch a design on the front, as silk postcards were also popular in the First World War. When you have finished the design, write a message on the back from one of the people you heard about during this virtual excursion.
