Medical Rehabilitation
Physical therapy is an Integral Part of Recovery
According to TopDog Health & Rehabilitation the majority of dogs who undergo orthopedic surgery never receive any physical therapy at all. Therefore these dogs never fully recover and strengthen their injured body part back to original condition and are at a far greater risk of damaging other body parts, particularly opposite legs. If you feel unable to meet the post-surgical needs of your pet or the confinement requirements of a pet treated for heartworm, consider having your pet get the medical care needed at Paws to Play private home.
