Meet new boy Onyx.. Onyx's one true love is primula π§
Onyx has started Hydrotherapy with me due to having an artroscopy on both his elbows for Osteochondritis Dissecans or (ocd) this is a developmental condition in young rapidly growing dogs and is very painful and causes lameness and joint swelling. It's caused by a piece of cartilage and the underlying bone separating from the joint surface.
Hydrotherapy is helping Onyx with his (ocd) because the water buyoancy reduces weightbearing stress on the joints. It allows us to build up muscle and improve his Range of movement without the stress on the joints.
