Bailey is 12½ years old. He has been a regular visitor to our hydrotherapy unit for the past couple of months.
Bailey has suffered with weakness and osteoarthritis in his hind legs for a little while now, and until recently it was under control with just anti inflammatory and pain relief medication.
As time has gone by the strength in his hind legs has gradually worsened creating stability problems.
Bailey’s vet suggested hydrotherapy as a way of helping to build up some strength, stamina, and muscle tone in his hind legs.
It turns out Bailey is a natural water baby and enjoys the sessions almost as much as the endless amounts of treats that he gets during them.
He has completed an initial course and has shown signs of improvement which is very encouraging, and will continue with maintenance sessions to help control his condition.
