Chihuahua
Little dogs, lasting mobility.
Chihuahuas come to us mainly for disc disease, and they’re committed patients — an average of 17 sessions each. We’ve treated 48.
Chihuahuas are 1.3× more likely than the average RehabVet patient to come to us for IVDD (disc disease).
29% of the Chihuahuas we treat — vs the clinic-wide average across 2,577 pets.

The Chihuahuas in our care
Learning to walk again
Dio arrived suddenly unable to use his hind legs after a disc injury. With a combined plan — rehab, hydrotherapy, TCVM Tui Na and supportive HBOT — he went from flat and unable to stand to walking, and back to 30-minute walks.
