Another update on Tiny




Tiny, the little chihuahua that was paralysed due to abuse, has come on amazingly well. The determination of this little guy is inspiring. He had a session of acupuncture provided by Dr Tanya a qualified vet who now specialises in rehabilitation. Dr Tanya placed a needle between his shoulder blades (which has a sedative effect) and he promptly fell asleep for the remainder of his session. His owner reports that he now regularly pulls himself up into a standing position at home (even on the slippery tiled floors) and is managing to take 2 or 3 steps at a time.

Odie - the Dachshund





Odie, the dachshund, is recovering from surgery to repair a herniated disk. He came to the hydro with Dr Tanya, the qualified vet who now specialises in rehabilitation. She gave him acupuncture and took him for a swimming session. Isn't he cute?
