Presentation

Albert, came to RehabVet for osteoarthritis support — presenting with mobility limits that needed a structured veterinary rehabilitation plan rather than rest alone.

Assessment

Initial assessment mapped gait, pain on palpation, and safe loading for a cat with osteoarthritis. The team set modality priorities (Aquatic rehabilitation) and revisit checkpoints before increasing intensity.

Rehabilitation plan

Between Aug 2024 – May 2026, Albert completed 36 attended rehabilitation appointments — including 6 land rehabilitation visits, 27 hydrotherapy sessions. Sessions progressed in blocks with reassessment, home exercise where appropriate, and modality mix adjusted to daily comfort.

Progress

Across 22 documented visit records, therapists tracked comfort, weight-bearing, and owner-reported function — refining the plan when Albert fatigued or when soreness flared between visits.

Outcome

Albert's rehabilitation arc at RehabVet reflects sustained clinic commitment and multimodal care — individual results vary by diagnosis, age, and home adherence. This summary describes measured progress across 36 sessions, not a guaranteed outcome.
