We would love you all to meet this beautiful Bengal cat called Clara 😻

She had her first session with us today in our hydrotherapy pool.

She is attending hydrotherapy to help maintain muscle in all 4 of her limbs, after she tore her collateral ligament in her left hind limb.

It’s a common characteristic trait among Bengals to enjoy playing in water and swimming, so it wasn’t a surprise to us when Clara took to the water and was able to swim amazingly well with very little assistance.

Well done Clara 😸 We can’t wait to see how you progress in your hydrotherapy journey.

Today was a special day for Boris the pointer

🎉He turned 3 today🎉

Some of you may remember this handsome guy from a previous post a long time ago,
When he was attending hydrotherapy for rehabilitation after he fractured his hind limb when he was just a puppy.

He is fully healed now and back up to his normal active life style.

These days he comes to visit us from time to time for fun swims because he loves it soooo much.

Today his owners treated him to a birthday swim 🥳

Happy 3rd birthday Boris ❤️

We would love you all to meet “Marley” the 6 year old doberman❤️

Marley is attending hydrotherapy weekly in our underwater treadmill after he underwent TPLO surgery to repair his cranial cruciate ligament.

Unfortunately, Marley’s recovery wasn’t plain sailing due to him getting an infection and needing a second surgery and 6 months of strong antibiotics to clear it up.

When he was finally cleared to start hydrotherapy he had lost a lot of muscle mass in his left leg.

And to make matters worse! He was probably the most water phobic dog we had ever met 😬

It took weeks of trial and error and using every trick in the book to finally gain Marleys trust around water so his rehabilitation could really begin. 

although Marley will never be that dog that runs to water when he sees it, he has become very accepting and we think your agree from his photo this is one happy, contented dog.

Well done Marley 👏🏻💪🏻🐾💪🏻👏🏻

🐾 Good evening Moredge family🐾

We would like you all to meet this sweet cocker spaniel called Saffy ❤️

In 2019 whilst out on a walk Saffy suffered a severe fracture to her left fore limb and despite best effects from her vets they were unable to  repair the fracture, so amputation was the best course of action for her.

Saffy is an amazingly strong swimmer and despite only having 3 legs, this hasn’t stopped this little pocket rocket from zooming around both on land and in the water, but she has now started to show signs of stiffness.

We will be working with saffy in our hydrotherapy pool to help improve her range of motion, build muscle mass and strengthen all 3 of her remaining limbs.

Well done Saffy 💪🏻

We would love you all to meet this little cutie “Sully”
❤️

Sully is only 12 weeks old and is attending hydrotherapy due to being born with a deformity to his right fore limb (club foot)

He has now had 4 sessions with us in our hydrotherapy pool to help strengthen and build muscle in not only his affected limb but also in his 3 other limbs to help support his tiny body as he grows.

His water confidence has come on leaps and bounds from when he first started 4 weeks ago 😀

And we think your agree that he rocks that spiky hair doo 🥰🤘

Well done sully 💪🏻

🐾 Good evening Moredge family 🐾

We would like you to meet the little Italian greyhound “peanut”

And the very sweet lurcher X “trigger”

They both started their hydrotherapy journey with us recently after suffering fractures to their fore limbs

Peanut fractured his right fore limb after jumping from his owners camper van whilst on holiday. 😩

And Trigger fractured his left fore limb whilst out on a walk and he spotted (possibly) a rabbit and decided he was going in for the chase. 😬

With both dogs being long legged breeds, swimming hasn’t come naturally to them but the completely non weight bearing environment of our hydrotherapy pool is the best course of treatment to help aid in their recovery. 

We can’t wait to see how they progress 💪🏻

🐾 good afternoon moredge family🐾

Today we had a very unusual visitor

Jessica the 23 year old Harris hawk was stretching her wings when she decided to take a rest out of sight of her owner and straight into the path of our hydrotherapist zoe who was going for a walk on her lunch break.

Zoe thought this to be strange as she was still tethered to her rains so clearly had a owner.

With the power of social media Zoe was able to quickly make contact with her owner who had posted about her being missing.

Zoe kept watch over her until her owners where able to come and retrieve her 🦅

They popped down to Moredge today to personally thank Zoe but we couldn’t resist having a little stroke and picture with the beautiful Jessica.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We would like to welcome just a few of our newbies that have attended hydrotherapy recently ❤️🌊

In picture order 

🐾Marley the very handsom but d***y doberman is attending due to suffering with complications after TPLO surgery.
He is very water phobic so we will be working with him in the underwater treadmill to help regain muscle mass and overcome his fear of water. 🦴

🐾 Angus the staffy X is a very sweet older gentleman who suffers with osteoarthritis of his hind limbs. He is a very confident swimmer and took to the hydrotherapy pool like a duck to water. 🦆

🐾 Chuck the bichon X is a returning client and is recovering from having CCLR surgery on his other leg in our underwater treadmill. Chuck is a real mumma’s boy but chicken treats certainly help. 🐓

🐾 Rosie the Italian greyhound X Shih Tzu is a ball of energy that is attending due to suffering CCLR with meniscal tear and petella laxation. She will be receiving her treatment in the underwater treadmill to aid in her recovery. 🐕

🐾 Tilly the bichon is a massive foody and will do anything for a treat she is attending due to having CCL surgery and will continue her treatment in the underwater treadmill to ease her stiffness and improve her muscle mass. 🥓

🐾 Bluebell the pug is a very confident little thing that took to the treadmill amazing well.
She is attending hydrotherapy after having BIL luxating petella surgery. 🐶

🐾 Skye the very sweet toy poodle is attending hydrotherapy due to suffering with a low grade luxating patella her owner would like to try conservative treatment first so she will attend weekly in the underwater treadmill to help build muscle and strengthen ligaments to support her stifle joint. 🐕‍🦺

🐾 Marley the Labrador is a true gentle giant and had his first session with us today due to suffering with BIL elbow dysplasia with right fore tendinitis of the shoulder. We will be working with him in the hydrotherapy pool to help improve his range of motion, loose some weight and increase his overall stamina. 🦮

🐾 Sabre the crazy black lab is a very confident and strong swimmer that gets very excited when he see’s a ball. He is receiving his treatment in the hydrotherapy pool due to suffering with arthritis of all 4 limbs.🎾

Well done you lot 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

We have seen a lot of new dogs recently so if you do not see you pooch in this post rest assured they will be in the next one ❤️

We would like to welcome police dog 🚔 Bertie

He attended his first hydrotherapy session today with us due to a skeletal defect of his hip 🙁

Bertie is only 2 years old but started to show signs of discomfort of an evening after a long day at work.

after receiving scans & X-rays they revealed that one of his hip sockets is smaller than the other but he was otherwise in amazing health. 💪🏻

His vet recommend hydrotherapy as the best course of treatment at this time. 🌊💦

Bertie is a very fit, VERY very pray driven GSD that loves nothing more than to chase a tennis ball around the aquatic pool making hydrotherapy a fun but controlled way for him to build muscle to help support his hips so he can continue the great work his does for the police force. 👮‍♂️

Well done Bertie ❤️

We would like to welcome just a few of our recent newbies.

In picture order we have

The very handsome Archie the staffy🏅who is attending hydrotherapy for fun/fitness sessions and just won the best of his breed at crufts this year

Then we have the very sweet cavi Tressa ❤️ who is attending hydrotherapy in our underwater treadmill due to suffering a partial cranial cruciate ligament rupture.

We also have Tressa’s half sister Ceres also a cavi who is attending due to suffering from osteoarthritis 💕 and will soon be learning how to swim in the aquatic pool.

Then we have the cheeky Ludo the cocker showing off his swimming hat 🏊‍♂️ he’s is attending hydrotherapy after suffering a fore limb ligament injury and his confidence is growing week by week 💪🏻

And lastly we have the lovely Sheba who is a large cross breed and a true gentle giant 🥰
She is attending hydrotherapy due to stiffness/ arthritis .
She is also sound phobic but has taken to the hydrotherapy environment amazingly well. 

Well done pooches 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

🐾 Good evening moredge family🐾

This is the lovely “lady” ❤️

Lady attends hydrotherapy for fun and fitness sessions and she most definitely shows she has soooo much fun whilst in the pool.

However whilst she is having fun we are also desensitising her to the hydrotherapy environment. 🦮

Lady’s owner is well aware of the potential joint issues that may arise later on in her life so we are working with her in the pool and soon the underwater treadmill to teach her at a early age that hydrotherapy can be fun and a non scary environment. 🙌🏻

We recommend that all young dogs receive some form of hydrotherapy treatment/ training at a yearly age. 💦💦💦💦

We treat many dogs that have never entered the water before/ water phobic and this often reflects on progress made during hydrotherapy as it’s much slower when we have to work on water confidence before we can work therapeutically.

🌨It’s that time of the year again 🌨

So Let’s talk coats 🧥

Your often hear us girls asking you all to bring in a coat for your dog for after their hydrotherapy session and this is Especially Important for the senior and arthritic dogs 🥰

After receiving hydrotherapy in our lovely warm water your dogs pain responses are lowered, muscles/ joints are relaxed and they feel good 🛀but then they need to walk to your car or go to the toilet. 😬

whilst we make every effort to get your dogs dry they may still be a little damp when leaving and in this freezing weather all that hard work is quickly undone 🙁

So a good quality coat for after hydrotherapy is very important. 👍👍

We advise that your dog has a coat that covers the effected joints I.e elbows, hips and knees.

In the pictures below your see Rosie the 13 year old staffie who suffers with osteoarthritis sporting her fleece that covers all of her effected joints. 🥰

and Skye the 12 year old lurcher X that has the onset of arthritis (she is owned by our team member Zoe and your often see her sitting pride of place on the stairs at Moredge watching the world go by) 🥰

These fleeces not only help to absorb moisture but they also keep the heat in 🔥

We do not have permission to advertise the brand of coat these guys are wearing on Facebook but should you want further information please ask one of the team.

We would like to welcome this gorgeous boy “Robin”

Robin has now had 8 sessions with us in the hydrotherapy pool and to say he loves it would be a understatement 🤪😃 

Robin is only 2 years old and is suffering from severe bilateral hip dysplasia 🥺

His owner wants to try conservative treatments first before considering surgery and hydrotherapy is the perfect way for him to exercise in a low impact environment whilst building muscle to help support his hip joints. 💪🏻💪🏻

Robin is a total live wire but due to his condition he will always be restricted on what he can do on land but in the pool he can let loose in a safe environment and burn off all his excess energy.

Well done Robin ❤️

Are you all ready for this stunning gentle giant 🥁🥁🥁🥁

We first met Duke when he attended moredge for puppy swims and it took the whole team to even get him into the pool 😬

But fast forward 2 years and he can’t get enough of it 😃 and even try’s to jump in from the top of the ramp 🙈

Duke is currently attending hydrotherapy after having bilateral cranial cruciate surgery.

But he is also on a weight loss journey and at his heaviest he Weighed in at 111kg 😳 but at his last week weight in he was down to 91.45kg which is a massive achievement for a dog recovering from surgery. 💪🏻

Well done duke ❤️ we can’t wait to see how you progress in your recovery 🫶

We would like to welcome you into the new year by introducing this Handsome chap Yohan 🐕‍🦺but the girls at moregde often refer to him as YO-YO because he is a crazy energetic goofball 🤪 (on swimming days)

But it’s not all play for Yohan as he has a very important job. 🎓

Yohan is a working service dog that helps his owner who is in a wheelchair around the house day to day. ❤️

Yohan has no medical conditions and attends Moregde as part of his down time from working to release some energy as well as improving his overall fitness so he can continue to help support his owner.

Well done Yohan. 🫶
