🐾 Meet Ellie! 🐾
This beautiful Miniature Schnauzer suffered an FCE (fibrocartilaginous embolism), sometimes known as a “spinal stroke”, back in August.
She has made great progress but is still ataxic (wobbly) in her hind limbs.
Five weeks after her injury, she came to Holistic Pet NI for rehabilitation, where she received acupuncture, laser therapy and hydrotherapy.
Elsa also showed her some exercises to continue at home, including massage, wobble cushion work, cavaletti poles and figure-of-eight exercises. These help improve strength, balance, coordination, proprioception and body awareness.
We’re delighted to support this gorgeous girl on her rehabilitation journey. 🐶💪
Well done, Ellie! 🌟
