Day 9 we have the Zealous Zeus.

Zeus is a beautiful 3 year old lab who was diagnosed with bilateral elbow dysplasia at a very young age.

He swims with us once a fortnight to keep those front legs strong, so he can continue living his life to the fullest!! He started off in our underwater treadmill, progressing onto the hydro pool after 10 weeks.

He loves his swimming!! Keep up the good work Zeus 🐾

Day 8 we have this little cutie!!

Bon Bon suffers with hyper mobility, meaning she has to keep those legs good and strong to keep them stable!!
Bon Bon works very hard on the treadmill, using incline and low water to encourage her to pick those legs up!!
We also use a board for her to complete balancing exercises, by encouraging micromovents from her muscles.
This improves her stability and body awareness. you are a little superstar Bon Bon!! 🐾

Day 7 we have marvellous Max

Max comes to us for targeted muscle training for his back legs in our underwater treadmill.
Initially he was a little sore in his hips but hes making fabulous progress and we have now introduced incline walking which will build those muscles up nicely! 🐾

Day 6 we have Elsa the springer!

Elsa is suffering with arthritis, particularly in her front limbs. This means that she comes to us weekly and goes in our swimming pool for management of her condition.

The water keeps her joints mobile as she experiences weightless exercise in a controlled manner. She also enjoys a massage during her breaks, where we aim to help loosen up any tight muscles.

Day 5 we have the lovely Senara!!

Senara was suffering with weakness in her back legs causing her to stumble and tire easily. She was also carrying an extra couple of pounds!

So, she uses our 32Β°C hydrotherapy pool to both build up the strength in her back legs and to benefit from the cardio workout that swimming provides helping shed the extra pounds.

Since shes been attending hydrotherapy with us shes had a new lease of life! 🐾

Day 4 we welcome back the gorgeous Keith!!

Keith has just returned after having his second TPLO surgery. TPLO surgery is an orthopaedic procedure of the knee joint to stabilise it following a rupture of the cruciate ligament.

Unfortunately Keith suffered with cruciate ligament disease which led to the rupture of both his legs one just over 2 years ago and the most recent 3 weeks ago.

Keith uses our underwater treadmill to keep those back legs strong. The resistance of the water acts as a strength training workout for his muscles, whilst the buoyancy supports his joints.

Keep up the good work little man!

This little old man is Obi.

Obi comes to us for a weekly swim to manage his arthritis. At the age of approximately 12/13, Obi still thinks he is a puppy, having a little mad moment after his sessions!!

Obi's sessions are mainly massage based, and based on his noises and facial expressions he seems to love it!!
We love you, Obi. Keep up the good work!! 🐾

Next up we have the lovely Luna.

A couple of years ago, Luna suddenly lost her sight as well as being diagnosed with arthritis and cushings disease. She’s had a time of it but that doesn't get in her way!

Luna comes to us for joint relief and muscle building in our treadmill. With the support of her owners and the smell of treats and squeezy cheese as motivation, we are delighted to say she does incredibly well during her sessions.

What a brave girl you are, Luna. We are so proud of you here at DCH!!

On the first day of Christmas we have the gorgeous Zeus.

Zeus is experiencing some neurological changes in his legs and is beginning to feel his age a little bit.

This keen bean loves his pool sessions and will often parade around the clinic with his toy after his swims! The 32Β°C water warms up his arthritic joints and keeps him moving, making him feel 10 years younger!!
What a lovely boy you are Zeus 🐾

Today, we remember the animals who served beside soldiers β€” loyal, brave, and silent heroes πŸ’œπŸ΄ 🐾🫏

I SPOKE TO YOU IN WHISPERS
by Neil Andrew

I spoke to you in whispers
As shells made the ground beneath us quake
We both trembled in that crater
A toxic muddy bloody lake
I spoke to you and pulled your ears
To try and quell your fearful eye
As bullets whizzed through the raindrops
And we watched the men around us die
I spoke to you in stable tones
A quiet tranquil voice
At least I volunteered to fight
You didn't get to make the choice
I spoke to you of old times
Perhaps you went before the plough
And pulled the haycart from the meadow
Far from where we're dying now
I spoke to you of grooming
Of when the ploughman made you shine
Not the shrapnel wounds and bleeding flanks
Mane filled with mud and wire and grime
I spoke to you of courage
As gas filled the Flanders air
Watched you struggle in the mud
Harness acting like a snare
I spoke to you of peaceful fields
Grazing beneath a setting sun
Time to rest your torn and tired body
Your working day is done
I spoke to you of promises
If from this maelstrom I survive
By pen and prose and poetry
I'll keep your sacrifice alive
I spoke to you of legacy
For when this hellish time is through
All those who hauled or charged or carried
Will be regarded heroes too
I spoke to you in dulcet tones
Your eye told me you understood
As I squeezed my trigger to bring you peace
The the only way I could
And I spoke to you in whispers.....

We will remember them πŸ’œ
