Zeus is a twelve year old Pug referred to Tails of Rye by his veterinarian for neuropathy and hind leg ataxia. In addition to building strength and increasing range of motion, the buoyancy of the water improves proprioception (or limb awareness) by re-educating the muscles. Using the height of the water as a stabilizing force allows ataxic patients to correct their balance. |
