Ive not posted here for a while ive been in hospital and so Jake missed a couple of his appointments and you could tell he hadn't been his legs got bad very crossed and he was very wobbly i felt so guilty anyway he has had a couple of hard sessions and is back to what i call normal as Cdrm can never be called normal but im pleased as he is not getting so crossed legged and is bounding about a bit , i knew the hydrotherapy was working but didnt realise how much until he had to miss a couple of sessions i would recomend it to anyone

Aww bless his heart. CDRM is horrible - my first GSD had it but this was before hydrotherapy became known about. Jason had acupuncture which also appeared to help. Funny, Jason started fitting also at 8 years old and was diagnosed as having a slight heart block causing cerebral anemia. Unfortunately acupuncture had to be stopped as it aggrevated the fitting.

Wishing Jake well Give him a huge hug from us.

Sorry to hear you've been unwell, I hope you're feeling better?

Great that the hydro really helps Jake, it must really make you smile when he's bounding about a bit

Ahhh. I hear that hydrotherapy has had astounding results. I am so sorry, but I have no idea what Jake has wrong with him!

I do try and dip into the forum when I can, but we are so busy at this time of year.

A client of ours has a cat that was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of last year. She was given maybe a few months/days even to live. She is still going strong and the client has just made a booking for September.

Where there is life, there is hope
