White Shepherd mom Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi guys, I am looking for a specialist who deals with mobility issues in dogs in Perth please. Casper has been diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and the prognosis is eventual paralysis as there is no cure. Exercise is our best chance at delaying his decline but apparently acupuncture and manipulation can also help. I have taken him to a wonderful lady who specialises in mobility issues but she's SOR and is therefore a bit far for me to go to often. Thanking you in advance.

fifi Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) So sorry to hear this. Are there hydrotherapy centres in travelling distance ? it would potentially be of great benefit. fifi Edited May 4, 2011 by fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Shepherd mom Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions guys. Ocean Reef vet is my vet. For rehab puposes I believe they only have the pool but Casper doesn't like going into water where he can't stand and I was looking for something more...specifically acupuncture, manipulation, things to improve his balance. I was really hoping that with such a strong Perth presence on DOL, someone has a personal recommendation. I found this place online : http://www.activepetrehab.com - has anyone used them? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
