Russell County Canine Physiotherapy Open For Business

For many months, Peter has been shuttled to Auburn University Vet Clinic  3 times a week for physiotherapy.  News came that we could drop our visits to once a week, if we continued some of the work at the farm.

Heather and Lisa, who haven't missed a day of getting him to, or picking him up from PT, were quick to sign up for retraining.  We suspect Peter has wormed his way deep into their hearts too!!!

Heather, who lives across the street AND has a pool, has taken over the aquatherapy and agility portion.

Workin' it!

Very creative obstacle course.

As his physiotherapist, Liz, at Auburn puts it: "Peter does not work for free!"

Lisa has signed up for the cardio hiking portion.  She's devoted, cuz it's August in Alabama!

Petre racking up the miles.

Dr. Lisa's bootcamp reports.

We love data...no better way to gauge progress.

Peter's orthopedic specialist at Auburn called him 'an orthopedic mess' two years ago.  He has so many competing issues, it's hard to know where to start. It would be easier to give up and keep him doped up on pain meds, that's surviving, but not thriving.  
We insist on quality of life around here.  He may be 12-ish and a mess, but he's our happy mess.
