🎄✨ Merry Christmas from Duchy Canine Hydrotherapy ✨🎄

As we come to the end of another year, I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful clients for your continued support, kindness and understanding over the past year.

While I’ve been more in the background during my maternity leave.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Emily for doing a fantastic job holding the fort and continuing the treatment of our existing customers and meeting many new ones.

Emily and I look forward to continue to support our current and future clients in 2026.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! 🎄

Its Christmas!!
Today we have the youngest members of DCH.
Harris who is a 12 week old lab, and Angus who is a 12 month old lab! Little and large! Both boys come to us for confidence and muscle building to set them up for success in their adult life.
Swimming is great for puppies as it puts no pressure on their joints, and we can start them off slowly and safely.
It’s also great for desensitising them to water as we make the experience as relaxed and positive as possible and encouraging water safety which is important living in Cornwall.
Both brave boys are doing very well and looove their swimming!

It’s day 24 of our advent countdown, it’s Christmas Eve!!

We hope all of your pups have made it onto Santa Paws’ nice list!!
To celebrate day 24 we have handsome boy Casper.

Casper swims with us every month to manage his arthritis. Casper has queen ann legs which means his legs bow outwards. Back in 2023 he actually suffered a disc protrusion in his neck which caused paralysis!!

He thankfully recovered from this and got back to his happy bouncy self.
He has lots of massage to his front legs in his breaks, and he thoroughly enjoys his swims, especially if there is a squeaky chicken up for offer! He gets very excited coming in, and we love having him!

Day 23 we have Rosie.

Rosie is a little bichon x poodle who underwent a hemilaminectomy as a result of a disc extrusion a couple of months ago. She also had the same surgery a couple of years ago due to another disc extrusion.

Hemilaminectomy is a procedure used to correct slipped or herniated discs and it involves removal of ruptured material around the spinal cord.

Working with Rosie’s physiotherapist we are endeavouring to help improve
Rosie’s proprioception of her backs legs, and also improve the range of motion and muscle tone of her back end by treating her in our underwater treadmill once a week.

Keep up the good work Rosie!

Day 22 we have Beautiful Bonnie.

Bonnie is a nearly 15 year old labradoodle who comes to us monthly for arthritis in her hips and hind limbs.

Bonnie goes in the pool to have a therapeutic, weightless exercise to give those back legs a chance to mobilise without impact on her joints. She also enjoys a massage during her breaks. Even just standing in the 32°C water she will still be getting the benefit.

The warm water helps keep those muscles a bit looser and the hydrostatic pressure aids reduction inflammation and eases pain. Bonnie is doing very well, especially for nearly 15!! 🐾

Day 21 we have the lovely Ollie.

Ollie is another rescue who underwent a femoral head and neck excision a couple of years ago. This surgery was rehabbed with us at the time, and he is now back to maintain the muscle mass after loosing a little condition on his back end.

Ollie has a good workout in the pool, building up both strength and stamina. It’s a good mental workout aswell as a physical workout, and he is absolutely smashing it.
Well done Ollie boy! 🐾

Day 20 we have gorgeous Charlie.

Charlie is a rescue sprocker who has bilateral hip dysplasia and cruciate disease.

He had a TTA in his back right leg in 2019 for his cruciate ligament. Then fast forward to this year and he has had to have a TPLO in his left hind due to his other cruciate disease!

TTA (tibial tuberosity advancement) is another option for cruciate surgery. It involves cutting the top of the tibia and moving it forward, changing the knee's angle so the quadriceps muscle stabilizes the joint instead of the damaged ligament.

Charlie is currently coming to us weekly to build up muscle tone in his back legs to keep them strong, and he is doing very well! We keep the water high to support his hips an stifles, but put the incline up so he has to work hard!!

Keep up the good work Charlie 🐾

Day 19 we have the Bouncy Bode.

Bode is usually out doing canicross and bikejor but he has unfortunately injured his carpal extensor muscle so is on doctors orders to rest, rehab and get back into exercise slowly (well, as slowly as a bode can go!!).

He has recently returned back to hydrotherapy for some gentle, reduced impact exercise on the treadmill. This will be very gradually increased as he gets better, eventually building back up to what he was doing before which was walking on an incline, walking with lower water and trotting.

Bode also has a multi model approach as luckily his mum is Ki5 Canine Therapy so is in the best possible hands for a full recovery.

Your a superstar!! ⭐️

For Day 18 we have Mabel.

Mabel is another one of our newbies, and she is currently having treatment in our underwater treadmill weekly to help with her mobility and strength. She has a multi model approach so is also under the care of a veterinary physiotherapist weekly.

Mabel has arthritis in her right stifle, she has a bulging disc in her cervical spine, and an osteophyte (bone spur) in her lumbar-sacral spine. Despite this list of issues, Mabel has taken to the treadmill like a duck to water and is doing very well.
What a good girl 🐾

Day 17 we have Flynn.

Flynn had a femoral head and neck excision. If the acetabulum and the head of the femur do not fit together properly, this poor fit can influence the range of movement of the joint. This poor joint fit can also lead to chronic pain and inflammation.
A FHNE involves removal of the head and neck of the femur to eliminate painful bone-on-bone contact in the hip, creating a "false joint" with scar tissue for pain-free motion.

Flynn is coming to us twice a week to recieve treatment in both the underwater treadmill and the pool to build up muscle tone and range of motion.
Flynn is doing very well and is certainly enjoying getting to swim after his squeaky toy!!
Well done Flynn! 🐾
