🌟 Dolly’s Progress Update – Lighter, Stronger, and Thriving! 🌟
We’re back with a fantastic update on sweet Dolly, the beautiful 3-year-old Airedale Terrier who’s been on a journey of recovery since a serious wrist injury as a pup 🐾
Since we last saw her, Dolly has lost some weight and is now feeling much lighter on her feet — including that tricky wrist! 💪✨ Thanks to her dedicated owner, she’s been progressing beautifully and was a total superstar during our recent massage and exercise session.
Here’s what we worked on:
👐 Massage to her triceps and biceps
🌀 Gentle range of motion techniques on her wrist
🏋️♀️ Strength and weight-bearing exercises using food motivation (and Dolly was very motivated 😄)
Her owner has done an amazing job with the desensitisation plan, helping Dolly feel safe and confident when her wrist is touched — and it’s paying off! While we don’t see signs of current pain, we do predict that early onset arthritis may develop due to her injury history. That’s why we’re holding off on a splint for now, and focusing on keeping her strong, mobile, and pain-free for as long as possible.
Stay tuned — next session we’ll share Dolly in action with her home exercises! 💙🐶
