Sampson is a 13-year old Tripawd who just celebrated his three month ampuversary after a bone cancer diagnosis.
Despite his numerous health challenges, he’s bounced back to wellness thanks to a post-op canine rehab routine.
Two months after amputation, his mom Megan wrote in Sampson’s blog:
“We do some PT every day…mostly walks, which he likes, and some modified weave poles and a couple other things, which he doesn’t. And, we go to therapy once a week. Again, not big on the “work” portion…but he does love the massage part, and getting attention from John and Sierra.
Here we are at PT…on the Wobble Board“
Sampson Gets Hoppy on the Wobble Board
Sampson’s Wobble Board fitness routine consisted of two to three sets of 45-seconds at a time.
Recently Sampson “graduated” from canine rehab, but his Momma says “that last PT was also a victory . . . he was absolutely the most lively and happy he’s seen him in two months of PT.”
Even a few sessions with a certified canine rehabilitation therapist can help you learn the important steps needed to stay fit on three legs. Using tools at home like the FitPaws Wobble Board is a fun way to continue your dog’s rehab workouts in a fun and cost-effective way!
