Presentation
Gin, a Spitz, came to RehabVet for ivdd 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 dog with ivdd. The team set modality priorities (Multimodal rehabilitation) and revisit checkpoints before increasing intensity.
Rehabilitation plan
Between Feb 2023 – Sept 2026, Gin completed 89 attended rehabilitation appointments — including 22 land rehabilitation visits, 36 hydrotherapy sessions, 20 hyperbaric oxygen sessions. Sessions progressed in blocks with reassessment, home exercise where appropriate, and modality mix adjusted to daily comfort.
Progress
Across 167 documented visit records, therapists tracked comfort, weight-bearing, and owner-reported function — refining the plan when Gin fatigued or when soreness flared between visits.
Outcome
Gin'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 89 sessions, not a guaranteed outcome.
