Everyone meet the amazing Milly!!
Milly is a 20-year-old Jack Russell who enjoyed pottering around her garden and sitting in the sunshine. But one day, she was injured and couldn't walk properly. Her family were worried and took her to the vet, who suggested they contact Pawsitive Pet Healing for extra support. Milly's owners contacted me, and I was delighted to assist them with Millyβs recovery.
And that's how Milly ended up at Pawsitive Pet Healing, spending weekdays with myself and returning home on weekends to her loving family.
When Milly arrived, she was struggling to walk on her own. But with the help of an Orthopaedic dog harness, combined with medication, gentle walks and by following her vets exercise plan, she slowly regained her strength.
I also used warm baths with Epsom salts to soothe her sore muscles and a heat lamp to dry her off, as she didn't like the loud noise of the drier. With medication, rest, and carefully monitored walks, Milly's progress was slow but steady. Her owners were amazed at how much she had improved in just a few weeks. Milly was determined to get back on her feet, and with lots of patience and encouragement, she did just that.
Finally, the day came when Milly was ready to go home for good. I am so sad to see her go, but I am also very proud of her progress.
Milly was one of the lucky dogs who got to return to her family.
She had not only regained her ability to walk but also made some amazing new friends. Joker the Newfoundland, Bonnie the German Shepherd and Buzz the Yorkie.
Milly's journey had been a challenging one, but with the help of Pawsitive Pet Healing, she has overcome most of her injuries..
And now, she is back at home hoping the sun comes out so she can relax in the warmth of it before the winter arrives.
Best of luck, Milly! You are one tough pup.
