IVDD can be a challenging diagnosis to come to terms with. Often your dog is walking one day, and the next they can’t use their hind legs and you’re being quoted $10 000 + for an emergency surgery, while also being told that there’s no guarantee the surgery will fix it. What do you do?
At the Animal Rehab Klinik, we give our patients with IVDD the best chance to get back to their old selves following an IVDD diagnosis using rehabilitation and exercise. Whether it’s for post-op or conservative management, our team’s background in physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy allows us to effectively communicate with owners to help them understand what’s going on and what they need to do to ensure the best results.
We hold the belief that each case presents itself differently, and it’s not solely centred around the patient’s condition. Additionally, each owner faces their individual challenges following their dog’s IVDD diagnosis, so the approach involves tailoring a customised treatment plan for each case.
