Nala enjoying her physio session last week 🐾
Bilateral hip & elbow dysplasia is not a diagnosis any owner wants to hear but sadly that is the reality for Nala 🫶
Following diagnosis and starting new pain relief; Nala’s behaviour was highly indicative that she was still experiencing pain & was not keen on having any physio assessment.
Forward a couple of weeks, Nala’s pain relief was reviewed after discussion with her amazing Vet and we continued going at her pace with the physiotherapy, modifying her walks & looking at how her home environment may be negatively impacting her.
This photo has been the result! Much happier to be assessed & treated for her physio, walks have been reduced and controlled, home comforts are being carefully managed & pain management modified ✅
Now we can focus on improving her mobility, strengthening weak areas & restoring her overall wellbeing ❤️
This plan is always evolving depending on how the patient is responding but it’s our job to listen!
