I am certain if Cooper could roll his eyes he would. He is not new to the Rehab scene. This is his second round of several sessions following two surgeries for lateral patella luxation. He is working towards improving the stabilizer muscle strength in his rear limbs. Cooper has his own way of waiting for the water to fill up in the treadmill. He likes to lay down until the water is all the way under his chin. We love this silly boy!

Maverick began Rehab therapy to help recover from a TPLO surgery. He is such a fun boy! Maverick's goals are to regain and maintain muscle, control pain and work on becoming full weight bearing. He gets laser therapy, neuromuscular electric stimulation, and underwater treadmill. Is is required for patients to lay on our lap during therapy? No, but it makes us happy when do :)

This little guy, Zues, came to see us for rear limb lameness. His owners would like to see him be able to jump up onto furniture again. Zues receives laser therapy to his spine, underwater treadmill and acupuncture. Zues was so scared and anxious his first couple sessions but has decided we aren't too bad. That may have something to do with the turkey he gets for being such a good boy;)

Raymond is an excited, happy and determined Frenchie! He had a sudden onset of rear limb paralysis in April. He comes once a week for underwater treadmill, laser therapy and acupuncture. Raymond is very food motivated so he gets a lick mat to keep his brain busy during therapy. Raymond is showing tons of improvement and we are so happy for him and his parents!

This little nugget is Lila. She is working extra hard to lose weight. She comes to rehab twice a week and walks in the underwater treadmill once in the morning and one in the afternoon each day that she is there. Walking in the high level water helps to support her weight allowing her to have a low impact yet effective therapy session. Lila is making progress and we are so proud of her!

Adorable Mocha comes to therapy to build up the muscles in her rear limbs. She does several exercises but walking over these cavaletti poles is her favorite. She also walks in the underwater treadmill and has acupuncture with Dr. Jill Kitson. Mocha was a scared pup when she first started coming to Rehab but is coming out of her shell and loves all the treats and snuggles she gets while there.

Colts is the second fur baby in her family to come to Canine Rehab. This sugar faced lady is just learning the ropes of rehab and is still a little nervous but wags her tail the entire time. Colts likes to stand for her laser therapy. It takes over 25 minutes to laser both of her hips, back and knee. That's a long time to be patient! She then moves onto the underwater treadmill and walks with all of her might. Colts goals for Rehab are to help with pain management, decrease rear limb weakness and help her be able to walk without lameness. Keep up the hard work, Colts!!

We love you D!
