Canine Therapies Warrnambool

Rest peacefully dear Hero 🌈 We first introduced this cheerful lady at almost 13 years old more than two years ago in September 2022!! She was coming to us for regular hydrotherapy sessions to assist with reducing pain and lameness in her elbows, shoulders and hips associated with hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis, as well as trying to improve her overall mobility. We would have loved to have helped her even more with laser therapy treatments to assist further healing and to reduce the pain in her joints but sadly she had multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer), which contraindicated the use of the laser in those earlier days 🐾 Over the past few years since her diagnosis, her extremely dedicated owners moved mountains to modify Hero's lifestyle to give her the happiest, most comfortable, quality of life possible and it certainly showed in her smile each session😃 Sadly, she recently lost her battle at 15 years of age but had her loving mum and dad by her side as she passed. She could not have had more dedication and loving care given to her in her final months supported by a team of all those who loved her. She will be dearly missed by many but we will all hold fond memories of this special girl ❤️ Rest peacefully Hero and safe travels over the rainbow bridge 🌈 #caninetherapieswarrnambool #caninetherapies #caninetherapy #canine #caninehealth #caninerehabilitation #caninerehabtherapist #caninerehab #caninehydrotherapy #caninehydrotherapist #caninehydro #caninewellness #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #hydro #dog #doghydrotherapy #doghydro #dogunderwatertreadmill #underwatertreadmill #underwatertreadmilltherapy #underwatertreadmillfordogs #olddogexercise #olddogsarethebestdogs #olddogsnewtricks #osteoarthritis #osteoarthritisindogs #hipdysplasia #hipdysplasiaindogs

In the past week we have had two very special boys come back to us at Canine Therapies Warrnambool 🐾 Many of you will remember Mustard, a gorgeous rescue boy who started with us almost immediately after we opened in January 2022 and continued to visit for hydrotherapy sessions right up until his passing at almost 16 years of age in April 2023. Tragically only 6 months after Mustard's passing, his rescue brother Hodor, who attended for some hydrotherapy sessions too, also departed this world under sudden and tragic circumstances. This, understandably, left his family in shock as Hodor, and brother Balto, were only 8 years old 😢 We have been blessed to have Balto start coming for regular hydrotherapy sessions over the past month or so, and last week, we also welcomed rescue sister Remy, who was adopted soon after Hodor's passing to help heal everyone's broken hearts, especially Balto 💕 In a very moving and touching ceremony last week, on the 1st anniversary of Hodor's passing, we had the extreme honour of having both Mustard and Hodor's ashes buried by the family at our front entrance, alongside a beautiful native grevillea, so they can watch over all of the wonderful dogs coming for treatment at our centre. For Mustard in particular, this was his favourite activity for the last year of his life and it meant a lot to him to come for his regular hydrotherapy treatments and it means so much to us to have the honour of having both dog’s spirits here watching over us forever more. Thank you to his dear family for trusting us with your special boys, we promise to love and cherish them forever and look forward to seeing them daily and watching their grevillea grow 🌱 Please everyone, give your love to the boys as you drive in for your next appointment and of course we look forward to seeing Balto and enthusiastic helper Remy at their next visit 🤗 Rest peacefully dear Mustard and Hodor 🌈

Meet Beset Luxor 🐾 This absolutely gorgeous little rescue Pomeranian came to us for a number of sessions of both hydrotherapy and laser therapy to assist with the healing and improved function of her recently repaired right hind limb 🐕 Beset, or Bes for short, was being fostered by an extremely dedicated carer through Starting Over Dog Rescue. She arrived into care with a number of other dogs and it was clear that Beset had not used her right hind limb for quite some time. The rescue group sent her along for a thorough vet check and what they found astounded everyone... her right hind limb had a severe and chronic nonunion fracture of the femur, it is estimated that this broken bone had occurred between 6 to 12 months of age, Bes is now 8 years old! 💕 The amazing surgeons at Yarra Ranges Animal Hospital undertook the daunting task of repairing her leg with a locking bone plate and an uncountable number of staples! Due to how long the limb had been in this condition, with Bes not using it, she had marked quadriceps contracture and major thigh muscle atrophy 🏝 Our job here at CTW was to assist Beset with building up her musculature so she could obtain the strength to be able to fully weight bear on it quite quickly for the best possible result. As you can see from the video, she improved astoundingly fast, with her foster carer putting in hours and hours of dedicated treatment and play to not only provide physiotherapy but also to teach Bes how to be a dog again 🤗 Beset Luxor now has a long and beautiful life ahead of her, thanks to the dedication of her foster carer, who has now adopted her, the rescue group (SODR) and dedicated vets who all worked together to get Bes mobile and pain free again 🤩 #caninetherapieswarrnambool #caninetherapies #caninetherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninerehab #caninefitness #canineenrichment #caninehealth #canine #caninehydrotherapy #caninehydro #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #hydrotherapydogs #hydro #doghydr

Rest peacefully dear Bear 🌈 Sadly we recently learnt of the passing of dear Bear, a beautiful boy who came to us regularly for both laser therapy and hydrotherapy to help with improving his mobility as he aged 🐕 He was then diagnosed with cruciate ligament disease and had to undergo TPLO surgery to both stifles over the past year. Sadly Bear didn't recover from the second surgery as well as hoped and he had to undertake multiple surgeries to try and get back to full function 🐾 Despite the full dedication from Bear's parents and his veterinary team, he was continuing to decline and the devastating decision was made to end his suffering. He could not have received better care and the dedication from all around him to recover and regain pain free mobility was evident 🤗 We'll miss your beautiful greying muzzle Bear and the amazing love and care from your wonderful family. Rest peacefully dear Bear 🌈

Rest peacefully dear Bailey 🌈 Sadly we recently had to say goodbye to one of our beautiful dogs... dearest Bailey who was also Shabbie's brother 🐾 While the family are still grasping the loss of Bailey after the diagnosis of multiple conditions, Shabbie and her dedicated mums and grandmother have welcomed a puppy into the home to help their hearts heal 💔 Bailey will never be forgotten and his cheeky smile will live on for eternity but we hope the new addition will help to bring joy once again to the household 🤗 Rest peacefully dear Bailey and love and best wishes to your family during this very challenging time, we'll miss you 🌈 🐾

Rest peacefully dear Gus 🌈 We recently said goodbye to one of our beautiful patients who was had recently turned an amazing 14 years old and has been coming to us for regular hydrotherapy and laser therapy sessions since January 2023 😎 Gus was as lovable as they come, who enthusiastically looked forward to his visits and was as bouncy as a puppy after his treatments 🐕 He originally came to us after having his right cruciate ligament repaired in late 2022 but had faced a number of challenges in recent months and had an increasing number of health and mobility issues 🧸 Gus was bright and happy to the very end, lavishing love to his very dedicated mum and sister Poppy, and we now wish him a peaceful and pain free eternal rest 💗 We'll forever hold fond memories of Gus's visits with his sister Poppy by his side, nudging him out of the way to get her fair share of cuddles, and the joy he brought to us all. Rest peacefully dear Gussy 🌈

Meet Layla 🐾 This gorgeous little lady has been attending regular hydrotherapy sessions with us and while she got off to a shaky start with her rhythm, she's improved enormously with her confidence 🤗 Unfortunately she's hit a snag recently with a disc in her neck causing her some trouble so she's on strict rest for now but we're crossing our fingers that she'll be back soon to continue her recovery from cruciate surgery 💗 Wishing you all the best Layla, you're a strong and brave girl and we hope you'll be back playing with your sister Coco very soon 😊 #caninetherapieswarrnambool #caninetherapies #caninetherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninerehab #caninefitness #canineenrichment #caninehealth #canine #caninehydrotherapy #caninehydro #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #hydrotherapydogs #hydro #doghydrotherapy #doghydro #dogs #underwatertreadmillfordogs #underwatertreadmill #whippet

Meet Sadie 🐾 This sassy gal is having regular hydrotherapy sessions with us to assist with maintaining musculature and strength as she ages and to help with reducing some intermittent lameness in her front limb 🐕 Sadie has taken to her sessions like a duck to water and enjoys regular snacks while she's walking. She's increasing her time and speed gradually in the underwater treadmill to achieve her therapeutic levels of treatment 🏊‍♀️ We look forward to seeing you at your weekly sessions Sadie and hearing how spoilt you are by your family at home 💗 #caninetherapieswarrnambool #caninetherapies #caninetherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninerehab #caninefitness #canineenrichment #caninehealth #canine #caninehydrotherapy #caninehydro #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #hydrotherapydogs #hydro #doghydrotherapy #doghydro #dogs #underwatertreadmill #underwatertreadmillfordogs #pug

Bolt is home and recovering well from her total hip replacement surgery! 🐾 This brave girl had her first, and hopefully only, total hip replacement on her right hind limb last week and has been recovering well under the watchful eyes of her dedicated parents and sibling King 🐕 The team at Southpaws in Melbourne handled Bolt's surgery fantastically, after her owners had put in an awful lot of preparation time at local vets around the southwest to get her ready for the big procedure 💗 Bolt was very nervous of vets prior, and the team at Warrnambool Vet Clinic and Cox Street Vets in Hamilton allowed her to attend for regular check ups in the lead up to the surgery to get her used to being handled and treated, as well as coming here for regular hydrotherapy sessions to build her strength, which she loves! 🏊‍♀️ We wish Bolt all the best for a full recovery and we look forward to seeing her back to recommence her rehabilitation program in around 6 to 8 weeks time once her vets have signed off on her progress thus far 🧸 #caninetherapieswarrnambool #caninetherapies #caninetherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninerehab #caninefitness #canineenrichment #caninehealth #canine #caninehydrotherapy #caninehydro #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #hydrotherapydogs #hydro #doghydrotherapy #doghydro #dogs #underwatertreadmill #underwatertreadmillfordogs #totalhipreplacement #totalhipreplacementsurgery #totalhipreplacementdog

Meet Mabel 🐾 This gorgeously pretty girl with the long eye lashes has been coming for regular hydrotherapy sessions to reduce her pain and improve her recovery and mobility following TPLO surgery after tearing the cruciate ligament in her right stifle 🏊‍♀️ Mabel is progressing beautifully with the whole family participating in visits when possible and getting in on deciding which treats Mabel will need each session 🧀 🥜🧈 We are so happy to be supporting Mabel through her recovery and are crossing our fingers that she can return to full function and beach runs as soon as possible 😎 🏖 #caninetherapieswarrnambool #caninetherapies #caninetherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninerehab #caninefitness #canineenrichment #caninehealth #canine #caninehydrotherapy #caninehydro #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #hydrotherapydogs #hydro #doghydrotherapy #doghydro #dogs #underwatertreadmill #underwatertreadmillfordogs #tplo #tplorecovery
