Tripawd Talk Radio Episode #117: On this is episode we're excited to discuss one of our favorite topics: Rehab therapy for three legged pets. And we've got an expert with us help explain the benefits.
Dr Ana Esquivel is a practicing veterinarian who recognized her geriatric patients were in need of special attention beyond the typical drug therapy prescribed for their pain management. She studied Medical Acupuncture and became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. She now operates ACE of Paws, the only dedicated Canine Rehab Clinic in Albequerque New Mexico. And, three of her patients have been recipients of our Tripawds Rehab grant, which will reimburse anyone who take their three legged dog or cat for rehab evaluation by a certified therapist.
Why is canine rehab so important, especially during amputation recovery? What treatments are best for Tripawds, and how do you find a good therapist? Dr Ana Esqivel helps us explain on this episode of Tripawd talk Radio.
Episode Video: TBD
Guest Bio: After practicing for over a decade in New Mexico, Dr. Ana Esquivel recognized that most of her patients were geriatric and in need of special attention. Because of this, Dr. Esquivel became more familiar with aging canines' physical needs and how to maintain mobility and a higher quality of life. Studying Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians revealed that most of her patients could benefit from more than the prescribed drug therapy for their pain management.
After helping her dog Samantha through a third knee surgery, Dr. E decided it was necessary to broaden her background to include integrative medicine. By 2018 Dr. E had completed training through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute and added Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist to her credentials.
Dr. E and her husband John recognized the high demand for Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation in Albuquerque. The two sprang into action to become business owners. They opened Albuquerque's only stand-alone Canine Rehabilitation Clinic, ACE of Paws.

Understanding and Treating Nerve Pain After Amputation with Ilaria Borghese
Tripawd Talk Radio #124: Have you ever noticed your cat or dog's muscles twitching near the incision site during recovery from amputation surgery? Or, have they ever jumped up with a sudden yelp weeks later? These are common signs of nerve pain, and phantom limb pain. Gabapentin and other pain medications are often prescribed to address this, but what exactly is "Nerve Pain" and how can Sensory Re-education help?
Ilaria Borghese is the creator of the Thera Paw orthopedic dog boot, and founder of Vital Vet - an amazing resource for all special needs pets. And, we're excited to have her on the show today. Ilaria talks with Rene to help us understand the difference between General Pain and Nerve pain. We discuss phantom pain and muscle memory. And, she explains how the desensitization protocol can help rewire the brain after limb amputation, without additional medication. Ilaria walks us through "Sensory Re-education" with simple, practical steps you can take to aide in your pet's amputation recovery, and nerve pain management.
