Elbow Dysplasia ⭐️

Canine elbow dysplasia is a developmental orthopedic condition that affects the elbow joint in dogs. It is often seen in larger breeds and is characterized by abnormalities in the growth and development of the bones that form the elbow joint. This can result in joint incongruity, instability, and subsequent degenerative joint disease.

Veterinary Physiotherapy can play a supportive role in managing canine elbow dysplasia. Here are some ways in which veterinary physiotherapy can be beneficial:

✨ Pain Management:
Veterinary Physiotherapy can help alleviate pain associated with elbow dysplasia through techniques such as massage, joint mobilizations, and therapeutic exercises. Modalities like cold or heat therapy may also be employed to reduce inflammation and discomfort.

✨ Muscle Strengthening:
Specific exercises can be prescribed to strengthen the muscles around the affected joint. Strengthening these muscles can provide additional support to the joint and improve overall stability.

✨ Range of Motion Exercises:
Veterinary Physiotherapists may design exercises to improve and maintain the range of motion in the affected joint. This can help prevent stiffness and maintain joint function.

✨ Weight Management:
Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for dogs with elbow dysplasia, as excess weight can exacerbate joint problems. Veterinary Physiotherapists can work with pet owners to develop appropriate exercise and dietary plans to manage weight.

✨ Home Exercise Programs:
Veterinary Physiotherapists can educate pet owners on specific exercises and activities that can be continued at home to complement the in-clinic sessions, ensuring a consistent and ongoing rehabilitation process.

✨ Titan’s Story ✨ “On the 28th of July 2021, at around 19:00 that evening, or lives changed drastically. Our beloved husky, Titan, was suddenly paralysed in his hind legs with no bladder or bowel control. Immediately we rushed to the vet, who confirmed that the sudden paralysis is due to a intervertebral disc pressing in the spinal cord. We were given our options: 1) euthanasia or 2) emergency spinal surgery which is only performed in Cape Town and which costs a pretty penny. We opted for a second opinion, which led us to George Animal Hospital. Dr Blignaut advised us to try a conservative method of treatment before considering surgery. Titan immediately received cortisone meds and we were instructed to keep him on strict crate rest for 6 weeks. After the first 3 days, he was able to walk a bit with assistance, and after 10 days Dr Blignaut gave the green light for physio, and put us in contact with Carléa. Carléa came to our house and did a full assessment of Titan. From there it gradually progressed to strength exercises as I suddenly learned that my dog has to strengthen his core in order for his back to be stronger. She also taught us how to do the different exercises in our own time, when to do them and what to expect. Fast forward a few months, I believe my dog had a six pack (who knows with all that husky fur😂), stronger back and he could walk. His walks were with a slight limp and Carléa explained that it will most probably stay like that as the spinal cord was injured. We honestly did not even care about his limp. I just wanted my dog to be able to walk again. In November 2021, Titan started with hydrotherapy. Every session went better than the previous one. Every day was another improvement! Today, I still take Titan for the occasional hydrotherapy session every few weeks, as a personal decision because I will always be a bit paranoid after the whole ordeal. What can I say, Titan is my baby🥹❤️ He still walks with a slight limp,
