The teams removed the tree using the chainsaw and hand tools.
They then rescued Ginny from the ditch using a Manitou - a four-wheel drive telehandler with a telescopic hydraulic arm.
The rescue took several hours with the fire service working closely with Ginny's vet.
A spokesperson said: "We are happy to say that Ginny is now back on all fours and in the care of her owner."
