✨Let’s call it Maine Monday ✨
Meet Maine, a sweet Rottweiler with a heart as big as he is. Recently, Maine was seen for acute hind limb lameness, with a suspected case of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). At the time, his family was having a very hard time helping him get up, and they were understandably worried about his quality of life.
Instead of giving up, we focused on medical management and support at home. We talked through ways to safely assist Maine when standing, improving traction in his home environment, and ensuring he had adequate pain control to stay comfortable while healing.
💙 The result? Maine has made an amazing turnaround. He’s now able to get up on his own, is moving more comfortably, and is back to enjoying a happy, quality life with his family.
Stories like Maine’s are such a powerful reminder that with the right guidance, patience, and care, there can be hope—even when things feel overwhelming. We’re so proud of you, Maine! 🐶✨
