Maltese
Small breed, devoted regulars.
The Maltese is among our most loyal patients — 150 treated across 2,631 visits. Disc disease (IVDD) leads the way, with luxating patella and neurological issues close behind.
The conditions behind the visits

A Maltese's typical journey
A combined plan of rehabilitation and warm-water hydrotherapy suits the Maltese frame, with TCVM and pain relief where needed. Many Maltese return for years of ongoing care.
The Malteses 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.
Is your Maltese slowing down?
Whether it's a sudden injury or the slow creep of age, the earlier we start, the more we can do. We'd love to help your Maltese move comfortably again.
