SUZIE
Wednesday 26th October 2022
Yesterday Suzie had her first physiotherapy session at Chapel Farm Rehab Pensford. We saw Ellen who had met Suzie not long after she arrived with her mum Willow and at that time would not allow Ellen to touch her...there were clearly concerns with her gait her poor muscle structure and the lump on her lower front leg hence we had her xrayed to reveal arthritus.
The session went very well and Ellen was pleased at how her muscles were starting to develop around her rear end. It was interesting to see the areas that were the most painful for Suzie notably around her right hip as it was her R hind that would kick out whilst running and how she leaned more towards her left side.
Suzie was very relaxed throughout the whole session. and once treatment had finished the xrays were put up and explained .
We have been given daily exercises to do and have another appointment in 2 weeks time.
Suzies condition is genetic and what saddens me is her mum Willow has had many litters..and many if not all the puppies will have the same condition. How many of them are reactive to the constant pain they are in?
