![]() Our hospital goal is to provide optimum pet care with the least amount of stress. Separation from your dog can result in feelings of anxiety and a break to your daily routine. We allow you to become involved in the recovery process as much as possible. Many people find that their grief and stress levels are less when they get involved in trying to restore health in their own animals. Owner involvement in the underwater treadmill process is available as appropriate. Please make a request of you would like to have more involvement in the physical side of this service. This dog had a long-standing knee problem that was being managed with oral medications. The leg was smaller due to wastage of the thigh musculature. Knee arthritis was diagnosed using regular x-rays and a knee replacement performed. Here we shown how a dedicated pet owner is learning how to straighten the knee to stretch the contracted muscles. This was diligently performed three times daily and had a major impact on the final result. |
