⭐️ Therapy Thursday ⭐️Sweet Sig just had to bring his friend with him while he was doing his underwater treadmill therapy! Underwater treadmill therapy for dogs is a specialized form of physical rehabilitation that uses water to aid in recovery and improve mobility. This therapy is conducted in a controlled aquatic environment where the buoyancy of the water reduces the strain on joints, making it ideal for dogs recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or dealing with mobility challenges. The water also provides gentle resistance, helping to strengthen muscles and improve range of motion without causing additional stress on the body.Guided by trained professionals, underwater treadmill therapy sessions are tailored to each dog's specific needs and abilities. This therapy not only accelerates physical healing but also enhances cardiovascular fitness and builds confidence in movement. For many dogs, it’s an effective and low-impact way to regain strength, improve mobility, and enjoy a better quality of life. If you believe underwater treadmill therapy could be beneficial for your pups health, make an appointment with us today to discuss options!

Is Your Pet Slowing Down? It Might Be Arthritis! 🐾

It’s easy to chalk up your pet’s slower pace or difficulty getting up to old age, but getting older doesn’t mean they have to be in pain. Arthritis is common in pets, but it doesn’t have to hinder their quality of life. Our canine rehabilitation team can help manage and reduce arthritis pain, improving your pet’s overall well-being. Pain management for pets is crucial, and it often goes hand in hand with addressing weight issues. Many pets suffering from arthritis are also overweight, which exacerbates their pain and discomfort. One of the best tools we have is our underwater treadmill, which helps pets shed pounds, build muscle, and decrease pain simultaneously. Take Ellie Mae, for example. This 14-year-old has been visiting us for arthritis treatment, and the results have been remarkable. With a combination of supplements, pain medication, and regular sessions on the underwater treadmill, Ellie Mae has lost a few pounds and is more active than she’s been in years. Her mom reports that she can tell Ellie Mae feels a lot better and is more energetic. Don’t let age be an excuse for your pet’s discomfort. Contact us today to learn how our canine rehabilitation team can help your pet live a happier, pain-free life! 🐶❤️ #caninerehabilitation #arthritisawareness #ArthritisRelif #Petarthritis #caninerehabilitation

Cat-ivating laser therapy session in progress! 😺

Cat-ivating laser therapy session in progress! 😺✨ Did you know laser therapy offers a range of benefits for our furry friends? From pain relief to accelerated healing, it's a purr-fect way to keep our pets feeling their best! Here's why it's such a game-changer: - Promotes Healing: Laser therapy accelerates the body's natural healing process by stimulating cell regeneration and tissue repair. It's like giving our furry friends a boost on their journey to recovery. - Reduces Inflammation: Inflammation is often a major culprit in post-surgery discomfort. Laser therapy helps alleviate swelling and inflammation, providing much-needed relief for our furry patients. - Pain Management: Pain management is crucial, especially after surgical procedures. Laser therapy offers non-invasive pain relief by blocking pain signals and triggering the release of endorphins, our body's natural painkillers. - Enhances Circulation: By increasing blood flow to the affected area, laser therapy delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues, promoting optimal healing and tissue regeneration. - Non-Invasive and Painless: Laser therapy is non-invasive and painless. Our patients can relax and enjoy the treatment without any discomfort or stress. - Speeds Up Recovery: With its multifaceted benefits, laser therapy helps our furry friends bounce back faster from surgery, injuries, or chronic conditions, getting them back on their paws in no time! #CanineRehabilitation #LaserTherapy #CanineRehab #LaserTherapyFacts #AnimalMedicalCenter

Meet Capone, the resilient 11-week-old Chocolate Lab 🐕 On Saturday, February 24th, Capone found himself in a tricky situation, his rear leg got stuck in the kennel in an attempt to escape his kennel while his parents were not home. Whenever his parents got home they realized what had happened and rushed him to Petal Animal Clinic because Capone could no longer walk. Due to the complexity of the case, they referred him to Animal Medical Center. Under the care of Dr. Prevost, Capone underwent a thorough head-to-tail examination. Suspecting spinal trauma, a CT scan was recommended to have a better understanding of his condition. To the relief of everyone, the scan revealed no distinct fractures in the spine or pelvis. Dr. Prevost diagnosed Capone with muscle edema or ischemia, paving the way for hope. Optimistic about Capone's recovery, Dr. Prevost referred him to our Canine Rehabilitation team. Capone embarked on a five-day rehab boarding journey, and the progress was nothing short of amazing. On Thursday, February 29th, he took his first steps using his rear legs. Capone's owners, overwhelmed with gratitude, decided to bring him home that day, committed to continuing his rehabilitation journey. Capone came in for his MPE with Dr. Hennessey on March 6th and she was happy to see the progress that he’s made and to see him acting like a happy and playful puppy! While there's more work ahead, Capone's determination and the collaborative efforts of Petal Animal Clinic, Animal Medical Center, and our dedicated Canine Rehabilitation Team have paid off! Capone's owners shared some words with us "We didn't think that Capone would ever walk again, and watching him play and run around is a miracle to us. We are grateful for the care he received from Petal Animal Clinic, Animal Medical Center, and the Canine Rehabilitation Team." #animalmedicalcenter #CaponesComeback #RehabSuccessStory #caninerehabilitation #PetalAnimalClinic
