At The Elms K9 Rehabilitation Centre we provide physiotherapy and hydrotherapy for dogs following recovery of IVDD. Some of these are post-surgery others may be conservatively managed. Through our work, we have identified an urgent need for short-term residential rehabilitation. Some owners cannot safely provide the intensive care their dog requires immediately after surgery or during the early stages of conservative treatment. This may be because the owner is elderly or disabled, has limited mobility, lacks suitable support at home, or has work commitments that make continuous care impossible. For example, a dog that would ordinarily attend daycare may no longer be eligible to do so while recovering, leaving its owner without an appropriate care option.
The Elms K9 Rehab has an adjacent outbuilding that we propose to convert into a small, dedicated residential rehabilitation wing. This would allow us to take in Rescue Dachshunds post IVDD surgery when we do not have fosterers available and it would allow us to offer this facility to owners at a charge which would then put money back into the charity to help other dogs.
