Lilly gets her smile back...
Lilly was referred to us in late 2017 in order to assist with pain relief. ​She had severe hip dysplasia and struggled to get around.
​
The absence of part of her forelimb meant that Lilly tried to place the limb which resulted in rotation of the spine and a high impact of her other forelimb. Lilly tested the skills of our experienced hydrotherapists.
​
They trained Lilly to put her forelimbs on a plate – specially designed and exclusive to Tudor Treadmills - so that she could keep her balance whilst working her hind limbs in the treadmill. Lilly’s surgery went ahead as planned in January 2018 and was a complete success. She can now run and play and is back to enjoying life to the full as a young dog should!!
Since opening the hydrotherapy centre we have dealt with a wide range of clinical cases ranging from
osteoarthritis, post-spinal surgery rehabilitation to prehabilitation treatment for a patient requiring a
bilateral hip replacement.
