Hydrotherapy is now being used to treat various types of injuries and health conditions in dogs. Hydrotherapy exercise is low-impact, making it ideal for use in dogs of all ages, even in senior pets that are suffering from arthritis and muscle atrophy. Other conditions in which hydrotherapy is beneficial include injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament, neurological problems, weight loss, post-surgical healing and recovery, various forms of orthopedic injuries, and muscle atrophy associated with Cushing’s disease, diabetes, and other metabolic problems. The hydrotherapy technique that is used depends to a large extent on the problem being treated and the dog’s condition. One of the most popular types of hydrotherapy is underwater treadmill. The depth of the water and treadmill speed can be customized according to the patient’s needs. Successful treatment can be achieved when hydrotherapy is coupled with other treatment modalities, like medications.
If your pet needs to undergo hydrotherapy, work closely with your vet Lakewood Ranch, FL in ensuring successful treatment.
