Thank You to Jennifer Brooks! - If anyone needs physical therapy or help with wound management for their equine, Save Your Ass Rescue HIGHLY recommends Jennifer Brooks, PT, MEd, CERP.
Jennifer is a Certified Equine Rehabilitation Practitioner from Brookline, NH and a wonderful, down to earth, caring and compassionate woman.

"I had the good fortune to meet Jennifer Brooks at a Farm and Forest Expo in NH. We started chatting about her work and I asked her about a problem I was having with one of my dogs. Jennifer was very kind and helpful and thought she might be able to help me. I made an appointment to bring my dog Sunny to her for a consultation. He had suffered radial nerve damage to his right front leg. As it healed and he started to use the leg it would flop and he brought the metacarpal pad part of the foot down so hard that he took off most of that pad. That resulted in a large, open sore that just would not heal in spite of all our vet and I could think of. Jennifer set me up with a laser rental and the rest is history! In only a few months, what had remained un changed for at least six months, a major change could be seen. Without Jennifer's assistance this would not have been possible. This is what she did with my dog! Her specialty is equine stifle problems. If any of you reading this have a problem with your dog or equine I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough. Not only is she brilliant at her work, she is a down to earth, compassionate, lovely person.
Jennifer now treats dogs at Mass Vet Referral Hospital in Woburn, MA along with dogs and horse clients privately throughout New England."

Spectra Vet
A very special Thank you to Molly of SpectraVet for her VERY GENEROUS donation of a laser machine to Save Your Ass Long Ear Rescue. I was introduced to Molly at SpectraVet when it was suggested I treat a deep wound on my dog's foot with laser therapy. The results have been nothing short of amazing. I have also used to to repair a cracked beak on a parrot and we have used it to successfully treat rain rot on a little donkey's ears. I am very grateful to have such a helpful tool at our disposal. Molly is a wonderful person to deal with, very knowledgeable, and is a kindred spirit, with a great love of animals and their well being. I can't say enough good things about Molly and the laser products she carries.
