What is Animal Rehab?
Animal Rehabilitation is very important not only in surgery cases, but is also used in the training of sports and working dogs. Dogs with specific problems like obesity, osteoarthritis, as well as old age can benefit from Rehabilitation.
Patients that undergo surgery can benefit specifically from rehabilitation such as fractures, rupture of the cruciate ligaments, as well as neurological conditions that have changes to cartilage, bone, muscle tendons and ligaments.
Did you know? Dogs may lose one third of their muscle mass in the hind limb following surgery for a cranial cruciate ligament rupture and it can take over a year to regain the lost muscle tissue.
