I want to learn more about ongoing supportive care for tripawds, like massage, PT and other helpful therapies. Could someone point me in a good direction please?

 

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before but I couldn't locate anything relevant through "search" so if anyone can give me a link to a past thread I would appreciate those too.

 

-Thanks Grace & John

Great Idea for post-amputation therapies! 

 

Bart received massages for several months as well as chiropractic adjustments.  It was incredible to watch him completely relax at the hands of his wonderful massage therapist who also taught Dog Yoga Classes we attended. 

 

Highly recommend trying to find someone who knows what they are doing in your area or looking for methods you can use at home yourself, which we still do!

we highly recommend acupuncture.  if you have a veterinary acupuncturist in your area, set up a session.  a tripawd has such stress on it's spine and muscles, the needles and electronic stimulation really helps keep it all working well.  also good for stimulating immunity also.  i think there's a list of CSU acupuncture graguates on the download blog.
