This young Husky has had surgery recently for angular limb deformity. I have started some Physiotherapy for her to regain some muscle strength and stability. As she was in bandages and strict rest for some time, she has lost some range in her joints, has a lot of hypersensitivity and marked reduction in muscle bulk. As a result her carpus (wrist) is dropping (hyperextension) which you can see in the video. The underwater treadmill is the most ideal environment to build this strength, whilst providing buoyancy to protect her joint. She has taken to it very well.

After recommending some modifications to the house, her extremely keen owners had done a make-over within hours of our first consult with carpeting the house and bought a pool for the backyard to continue her rehabilitation in between our sessions.

I look forward to seeing her enjoy the life a puppy should!
