Bailey was here!😂Sweet Bailey comes to see us for laser and aqua therapy to help her with hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is a common skeletal disease that occurs when a dog’s hip joints don’t develop quite right, allowing the hips to partially dislocate. Because the joint is loose, the dog's leg bone moves around too much, causing painful wear and tear. Hip dysplasia is mostly a genetic condition, though environmental and dietary factors also contribute to the problem. If your dog shows signs of hip dysplasia, it will seem similar to the signs of arthritis – painful joints, difficulty moving, and general stiffness. In general, the hind-end will be lame and weak. It can occur in one or both hip joints. We always love seeing you Bailey, keep up the great progress!!! 😊❤️❤️

Handsome Rebel was looking cool in his "doggles" for his laser treatment! Rebel comes in for treatment to help with IVDD. Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) in dogs is a cause of back pain, rear limb paralysis, and inability to walk or feel the back legs. Intervertebral discs are the structures between the bones of the spinal column (called vertebrae). They act as shock absorbers and give mobility to the spine. The disease is caused when the intervertebral discs begin to harden. Eventually, they may harden to the point that they can no longer adequately cushion the spinal vertebrae. Consequently, a forceful jump or bad landing can cause a disc (or discs) to burst and press into the nerves running through the spinal cord. This can be painful and cause nerve damage and/or eventual paralysis. Alternatively, the hardening of the discs can eventually cause them to bulge and compress the spinal cord. This can damage the nerve impulses such that bladder and bowel control can be impaired, in addition to potentially causing paralysis.Looking good Rebel! 😉
