Presentation
Kenji, a Shiba Inu, came to RehabVet for rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation. The team set modality priorities (Aquatic rehabilitation) and revisit checkpoints before increasing intensity.
Rehabilitation plan
Between Feb 2023 – Jul 2024, Kenji completed 46 attended rehabilitation appointments — including 46 hydrotherapy sessions. Sessions progressed in blocks with reassessment, home exercise where appropriate, and modality mix adjusted to daily comfort.
Progress
Across 99 documented visit records, therapists tracked comfort, weight-bearing, and owner-reported function — refining the plan when Kenji fatigued or when soreness flared between visits.
Outcome
Kenji'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 46 sessions, not a guaranteed outcome.
