Duke is our Arfit spotlight! He’s a 6-year-old terrier mix who loves to fetch. A few weeks ago, he played a little too hard and came up lame. His owner worried he tore his CCL. The vet recommended surgery, but Duke’s owner wanted to try conservative treatment first. After evaluating Duke, I confirmed that he didn’t have a torn knee.
Instead, Duke injured his lower back and has chronic weakness in his left knee. We started therapy to address these issues. Since then, Duke has made incredible progress! He now limps only occasionally and is more active than ever. He’s even playing like his old self again.
We continue therapy to reduce his lumbar muscle tightness and strengthen his left hind leg. Duke is doing great, and we’re excited to see even more improvement! With each session, he gets stronger and more comfortable. Keep it up, Duke!
We’re proud of Duke’s progress and excited for what’s to come. His dedication and hard work are truly paying off!
With continued therapy and care, we’re confident Duke will regain full strength and continue enjoying his favorite activities.
