Presentation
Noodles, a Maltese, 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 2025, Noodles completed 68 attended rehabilitation appointments — including 4 land rehabilitation visits, 63 hydrotherapy sessions. Sessions progressed in blocks with reassessment, home exercise where appropriate, and modality mix adjusted to daily comfort.
Progress
Across 101 documented visit records, therapists tracked comfort, weight-bearing, and owner-reported function — refining the plan when Noodles fatigued or when soreness flared between visits.
Outcome
Noodles'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 68 sessions, not a guaranteed outcome.
