Dachshund Back Health Talk

In collab with at

I loved doing this talk today, Dachshund’s are one of the most common breeds to have back issues (IVDD) another breed is Basset Hounds - the bigger version 😂

Our first Basset Hound (14yrs ago) had IVDD and needed emergency surgery- he made a full recovery, and when I started my hydrotherapy & rehabilitation centre I knew I wanted to try and educate owners with breeds that are prone to IVDD
Hydrotherapy and physiotherapy play a huge role in helping to manage and help with recovery for post op cases.

However I fully understand the trauma we go through as owners too, it’s a big shock and a lot to take in. It’s emotional and stressful to navigate so I am passionate about reaching out and trying to educate and give owners as much advice and support as I can help them navigating their way through back issues.

Thank you to everyone that came today! And thank you to for awesome sausage dog cookies

This girl works so hard in the treadmill, working on helping her gain some strength and muscle on her hind limbs after Cruciate ligament surgery.

She also LOVES a neck and shoulder massage! ❤️

NOT just swimming & here’s why ⬇️

The heated water which we heat at a specific temperature for effective rehabilitation and pain relief effects

The hydrostatic pressure of the water helps reduce swelling in the joints and provides pain relief

The completely non weight bearing aspect of the water which we see in this picture of Hattie in the pool provides relief on her joints and allows her literally soak up the benefits of water and tap into pain relief and reduced swelling effects.
So much so she fell asleep! 😴
For dogs with long term (chronic) conditions such as arthritis hydrotherapy can be a real game changer in helping them with their arthritis.

Here you can see Bex adding to the benefits by providing some aquatic massage for Hattie through get shoulders to help reduce tightness and tension.

💦Look at that crystal clear water- we work very hard on our water quality testing the water 3 times a day and ensuring we achieve water balance.

Hatties Story

When we first saw Hattie for pool hydrotherapy to help with her arthritis she had lost her enthusiasm & strength for walking.
She was struggling with her arthritis.

Pool hydrotherapy is completely non weight bearing and with the heated water and aid of a qualified hydrotherapist helping Hattie swim and soak up the benefits of the water alongside some aquatic massage it has been a turning point for her.

Hatties story is heartwarming and extremely common for dogs with arthritis.
There are many reasons why pool hydrotherapy can help dogs and arthritis is right up there.

Does your dog have arthritis or showing signs of slowing up and becoming stiff.

Drop Bex a DM or email and she can chat through options with you. As a CAM Advocate Level 1 it is safe to say arthritis is something Bex is very passionate about.

In this article we are going to consider jumping into and out of a car, something that most of our dogs do on a daily basis and we, as owners, take for granted.
