Our rehab and acupuncture certified veterinarian, Dr. Margot Daly, will first perform a thorough evaluation which may include: joint or muscle mass measurements, strength testing, gait analysis, and a discussion of goals and concerns. She will then prescribe an individualized treatment program that is specifically designed to meet your pet's needs, which will usually include a home exercise program for you to work on in between visits. This multimodal approach provides greater opportunity for a successful outcome, and can be modified as needed. Consultations and fittings for supportive wraps, booties, braces, and wheelchairs are also available.
