✨ Progress post! ✨
This lovely patient initially presented with some mild signs consistent with IVDD and was therefore referred to me by his vet. He had delayed knuckle responses in the left hindlimb, an excessive lateral pelvic swing to the left, a roached back posture, and signs of back pain upon palpation.
Following a course of veterinary physio, just look at him now! 🐾
He’s moving much more freely and comfortably, with:
✅ More equal lateral pelvic movement
✅ Improved swing through the lumbosacral region
✅ A noticeably straighter spinal posture
✅ Overall smoother, more relaxed gait patterns
These subtle changes can make a huge difference to comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Early intervention and targeted rehabilitation can be incredibly beneficial for dogs showing even mild neurological or musculoskeletal signs. 💚
