Presentation
Muffin, a Shih Tzu, 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 (Multimodal rehabilitation) and revisit checkpoints before increasing intensity.
Rehabilitation plan
Between Sept 2023 – Aug 2026, Muffin completed 86 attended rehabilitation appointments — including 56 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 78 documented visit records, therapists tracked comfort, weight-bearing, and owner-reported function — refining the plan when Muffin fatigued or when soreness flared between visits.
Outcome
Muffin'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 86 sessions, not a guaranteed outcome.
