Patient Spotlight: Quarrie

Quarrie is a playful, loving bulldog puppy who was found in Tijuana at 7 weeks old weighing only 1.5 lbs! He was brought back to the states and is now being taken care of by Road Dogs and Rescue, a non-profit organization that takes in bulldogs and special needs puppies. Quarrie is now about 22 weeks old and was recently brought to BARC for limb abnormalities and not walking properly. After a thorough evaluation from BARC’s veterinary team and an analysis of Quarrie’s past medical history, Quarrie was diagnosed with angular limb deformity of his hind limbs. The physical therapy team at BARC is now working on strengthening Quarrie’s hind limbs, improving his balance, normalizing his gait and strengthening his core. Quarrie has a good chance for improved mobility but may never attain full function like a normal puppy. Luckily, he will be continuing rehab after his adoption. We are having a blast with Quarrie here at BARC and love watching him grow into a confident, happy little man! Feel free to follow Road Dogs and Rescue on IG @roadogs for more info on Quarrie and other dogs in their care! 
Service Spotlight: Ozone Therapy

Ozone is formed when oxygen molecules (O2) split and re-combine 3 oxygen atoms (O3) into a single molecule. This is achieved by running pure oxygen through an ozone generator.

‘Ozonotherapy’ is the use of medical grade ozone, which is highly reactive in the body, to create a curative response. The reactive properties prompt many responses in the body and is useful for many conditions. 

Research has shown that Ozone Therapy is extremely safe and can:

  • Activate the immune system in infectious diseases
  • Improve the cellular utilization of oxygen that reduces ischemia in cardiovascular diseases, and in many of the infirmities of aging
  • Cause the release of growth factors that stimulate damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate
  • Dramatically reduce or even eliminate chronic pain through its action on pain receptors
  • Have healing effects on interstitial cystitis, dental infections, diabetes, and macular degeneration
  • Increase energy production in cells
  • Increase the effect of herbs, vitamins, homeopathics and medications
  • Reduce the level of acidity of your pet’s body
  • Kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa

Contact BARC at (310) 542-2727 to see if Ozone Therapy could benefit your pet!
Get To Know Celeny Munoz - Reception/Grooming

Where are you from? Hawthorne, CA
What do you like to do when you're not at work? I enjoy spending time with my daughter, going to sports games (hockey, basketball, baseball) camping, snowboarding when it’s season, and browsing for new music and cooking recipes. 
Favorite color? Black
Favorite food? Seafood 
What got you interested in working in rehab? The love and eagerness a group of strong individuals have to help a dog/cat/horse walk again or just to relieve some pain really drew me. Especially since not a lot of people have compassion for helping animals. It’s an interesting field since you don’t hear about it a lot. 
What is a fun fact about yourself? I am terrified of spiders. Will legitimately have a heart attack. 
Have you been on any fun or unusual vacation spots? I have yet so discover an unusual vacation spot but the best vacation I’ve been on so far was Whistler, Canada. Amazing in the winter time, definitely recommend it!

Is my dog overweight?

If it appears that your dog needs to shed a few pounds, don’t despair. The good news is that most pets can be healthy without having to lose a lot of weight. It can be done and even better, it can be done simply. There can be, however, some obstacles in the way. The food source, the calorie content, the body type, family cooperation and disease states can promote weight gain and obstruct well intended weight loss.  
How you determine the right weight for your pet is not a straightforward answer. Dogs are so wonderfully diverse! Think about the sizes (chihuahua vs great dane) and the breed types (greyhound vs. mastiff). This makes it difficult for your vet to give a straight answer about a weight number. . The general rule of thumb is to see a waist when looking at your dog’s body from above. Another simple quantitative test is to gently pinch the skin near the belly or neck to roughly measure the fat layer thickness. r ead more...
