Toby's Story
Toby (our 4 yr old Welsh Corgi) was diagnosed by the vet as having arthritis in his front elbows. Up until then, Toby was full of life and liked nothing better than to play with his toys and go for walks.
Since being diagnosed with this problem, Toby no longer wanted to play or go out for walks, some days he could hardly put any weight on his legs, he just lay on his bed. After searching the internet for alternative therapies and with advice from the vets, we decided to try Hydrotherapy, as we felt Toby was not our bubbly, happy little dog anymore.
We took him to Mark in July 2006 and Toby was not sure at first, but after going every week for a few weeks, he started to look forward to going and soon got in to a routine. Slowly but surely our bubbly, happy little dog came back and was keen to play and go for walks again. He even felt well enough to sneak on to the settee at times. Toby lost nearly 2 kgs in weight and is still his happy normal self.
Thanks very much to Mark and everyone at Butterwick Hydrotherapy for bringing back my happy little dog.
THANK YOU.
