Beau
Beau is a 2 year old Bassett Hound who was born into hunt kennels with a leg deformity. For this reason he was rehomed as a puppy and almost immediately underwent surgery to correct the problem.
Beau had a 6″ pin inserted into his right elbow joint and while this straightened his leg, he remained lame.
On initial assessment, Beau was scored 6/10 lame with a high degree of muscular tension and spasm in his surrounding limbs and compensatory muscles.
Beau’s treatment consisted of laser and ultrasound therapy, massage and stretching. The owner was also left with exercises to do.
Beau’s initial treatment was a programme of 4 sessions over 7 weeks, and he is now maintained on a 2 monthly basis.
He is now totally sound, happy and active
