๐ Dollyโs Progress Update โ Lighter, Stronger, and Thriving! ๐
Weโre back with a fantastic update on sweet Dolly, the beautiful 3-year-old Airedale Terrier whoโs been on a journey of recovery since a serious wrist injury as a pup ๐พ
Since we last saw her, Dolly has lost some weight and is now feeling much lighter on her feet โ including that tricky wrist! ๐ชโจ Thanks to her dedicated owner, sheโs been progressing beautifully and was a total superstar during our recent massage and exercise session.
Hereโs what we worked on:
๐ Massage to her triceps and biceps
๐ Gentle range of motion techniques on her wrist
๐๏ธโโ๏ธ Strength and weight-bearing exercises using food motivation (and Dolly was very motivated ๐)
Her owner has done an amazing job with the desensitisation plan, helping Dolly feel safe and confident when her wrist is touched โ and itโs paying off! While we donโt see signs of current pain, we do predict that early onset arthritis may develop due to her injury history. Thatโs why weโre holding off on a splint for now, and focusing on keeping her strong, mobile, and pain-free for as long as possible.
Stay tuned โ next session weโll share Dolly in action with her home exercises! ๐๐ถ
