The different types of consultation in animal osteopathy
Horses, dogs, cats, exotic pets and farm animals, across Occitanie
Where animal osteopathy can act as a first port of call
Support throughout your animal's life
Animal osteopathy can form part of your animal's overall care at various key moments:
Common reasons for consultation
Locomotor disorders are among the most common reasons for consulting an animal osteopath.
- Irregular gait
- Asymmetrical walk
- Moving sideways/crookedly
- Faulty conformation
- Muscular stiffness
Emotional and behavioural support
Alongside support from a trainer or veterinary behaviourist where necessary.
- Sudden change in behaviour
- Increased sensitivity, anxiety or unusual reactions
- Support following a stressful or traumatic event
- Adaptation during a change in lifestyle
- Difficulties linked to the loss of a companion animal or family member
As a first-line approach, depending on your animal's condition
Animal osteopathy can be considered as a first-line approach only depending on the animal's condition: a thorough telephone conversation will help confirm this; otherwise you will be referred to your vet.
- Sudden locomotor difficulties (back pain, lower back pain)
- Sudden irregularity without total loss of weight-bearing
- Arthritis flare-up
- Post-traumatic, non-injury related (fall, altercation between animals)
These same reasons can also be addressed with an osteopathy session following a visit to your vet. If in doubt, a prior assessment of pain is required to carry out the session under the best possible conditions.
Osteopathy and support for chronic conditions
L'ostéopathie animale intervient en complément du suivi vétérinaire établi. Elle ne remplace ni le diagnostic ni les traitements prescrits par votre vétérinaire.
Towards improved comfort and quality of life
Dans certaines situations, l'ostéopathie peut contribuer à améliorer totalement ou partiellement des troubles chroniques dits récidivants.
- Digestive disorders (chronic vomiting, diarrhoea)
- Respiratory disorders (coughing, asthma)
- External otitis
- Skin disorders (dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, localised depigmentation, pruritus)
- Poor healing (post-operative, licking wounds, self-mutilation)
- Certain cases of infertility
- Urinary incontinence (particularly following neutering)
Alongside veterinary care
Troubles chroniques où la séance a pour rôle d'apporter du confort et/ou d'accompagner la prise en charge faite par votre vétérinaire.
- Dysplasia
- Sprains and tendinitis
- Osteochondritis dissecans
- Chronic kidney failure
- Neurological disorders (disc herniation, stroke, ataxia, seizures, fibrocartilaginous embolism)
- Injured/amputee animals
- End-of-life animals (loss of balance, refusal to eat)
A collaborative approach to your animal's health and well-being
L'ostéopathe animalier peut échanger avec votre vétérinaire traitant, avec votre accord, afin de favoriser une prise en charge cohérente et de lui transmettre ses observations.
Chaque animal étant unique, un échange permettra d'évaluer la situation, de répondre à vos questions et de vous orienter vers la démarche la plus appropriée pour votre compagnon.
