At the animal hydro we offer swimming as well as state of the art equipment for supplementary therapy. Deep tissue massage is used to stimulate nerve and muscle tissue and is beneficial when the animal is recovering from surgery and requires gentle stretching of muscles and ligaments. We also offer Photizo light therapy and the Bemer 3000 Vet. PHONE: 078 787 4464

The end results
Old friends coming to visit.
Annette, Elaine, Coco, Whiskey and JD come to visit every now and again to let their hair down.
Coco used to be a regular client with problems in her shoulder but now has no trace of a limp at all.
Whiskey lays by his Mom, Annette, while watching Coco take herself swimming.
Whiskey cheers Coco on but is not keen to follow her.
(Coco uses a jacket still just as safety precaution as she gets lazy sometimes and her hind legs sink)
On second thoughts, Whiskey decided to go see what all the fuss was about.

Ebony's recovery
Ebony, a one year old Labbie, recently had a femur head amputation. She is being treated with photizo to help with pain relief and build up muscle mass. She also does resistance swimming. Hopefuly this treatment will prevent the neccessity of having the operation on her other leg.
Ebony has just spotted the fish-shaped thermometer.
Seeking reassurance from her owner Kim.
Ebony is swimming well and kicking strong.
A happy Ebony runs around, just like a puppy should, after just a few treatments
She is a vocal girl and regales us with "stories" all through her Photizo sessions.

Cameo's progress
While changing her bandages we did a Photizo treatment on Cameo's hooves to help draw out the abscess'
The encouraging regrowth of her hoof is evident in this picture. (the pale band around the top of the hoof is the part that has grown out)
The abscess is almost out, the Farrier is very pleased with the progress Cameo has made.
