No. It's just a hydrotherapy pool with jets.

Poor Luika, he is such a wimp when it comes to water. The guy is so good and goes in with him on each session. He waits with him on the ramp until he gets used to the water and each time Luika seems a little better.

I do think that hydrotherapy is helping, but truth be told, I think it is not just cow hocks since his back paws bend over when he is resting. I think that would explain why he is dragging his feet slightly.

Still, we are trying to remain optimistic, and cannot do anything until his x-ray when he is a year old. Corrective surgery has been mentioned but I do not want to put Luika through pointless surgery unless there will be a benefit to him.
