I didn't want to say anything until after I knew we were in the clear. But a couple days before my dog Scrabble's 13th birthday (Memorial day), my vet incidentally found on xrays, a very large splenic hemangioma. Which is a blood filled tumor on his spleen. The only treatment for this is surgical removal. If we didn't do surgery, it was basically a ticking time bomb till it ruptered and then would bleed out.
As scared as i was to have my large 13 year old dog under go surgery, I am so glad I did! He had zero complications, excellent veterinary care, and came home the next day! 🙂
Luckily, I have the tools to help him recover faster post surgery. Obviously, the average person does not have the veterinary rehab modalities like I do. But that is why I started Physio Pet Massage. To bring the rehab to you & your pet in the comfort of your home.
Scrabble's treatment at home:
-daily laser therapy (2 weeks)
-daily PEMF (2 weeks)
-lymphatic massage (day 3-6)
-pain meds (day 1-3)
-nsaids (day 1-7)
I think the pictures say it all! The bruising, inflammation & pain diminished so fast! Thanks to Lymphatic Massage, Laser & PEMF Therapy. He got his staples out a week ago today and is acting like his normal goofy self.
