Sophie is a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She was very overweight and was lame on her right hind leg due to a luxating patella. She was lethargic and inactive at home.
Sophie commenced a hydrotherapy programme in combination with altering her diet to exclude titbits. She came for hydrotherapy 2-3 times weekly which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Sophie lost 3 .5 kg in weight and 17 cm around her waistline. She also gained muscle mass on all four legs which helped increase her strength and decrease her lameness. Her activity levels changed dramatically and she was very keen to walk, run and chase balls. Her owner was delighted and most importantly Sophie was no longer lame.
