Dana's Story

20200127_083936_edited.jpg

On the 25/12/2018 Dana sustained a spinal injury that left her with a very mild ability to move her limbs, her hind legs more poorly than front legs. She was unable to stand and only able to lift her head up and down. Dana was given a prognosis of 60% chance of being able to walk again post-surgery.

Dana's surgery went well and from day one post surgery she began her rehabilitation program at T'G Canines.Starting with Myofunctional Therapy treatments daily for 2 weeks.

Her Incision healed well and Dana was given the all clear from her vet to commence with her Hydrotherapy program.

"At Two and a half weeks post-Surgery Dana stood up for the first time!"

Soon after standing she began taking steps which improved daily. Dana continued to progress well over the year and though she may have some set backs from time to time and requires monthly treatments. It is with so much joy we are able to say.....

"Dana is walking again!"
