Dusty's Story

 

"This is our girl, Dusty, an Australian Cattle Dog mix that we rescued when she was six months old. When Dusty was about two years old, she developed a limp after rough-housing with her brother. I took her to her regular vet, who diagnosed her with strained back muscles. After consulting with a specialist at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital, we learned that Dusty likely had injured her cruciate ligament. The surgery was very expensive, and also required Dusty to be strictly confined for months - this would have been torture for her!

 

I decided to get another opinion with Dr. Sivula. He recommened underwater treadmill therapy, chiropractic care and supplements. As time went on, her sessions went from weekly to once a month. Now, after almost two years of therapy, Dusty can run again! She is crazy and has great fun in her agility training. She's doing great, and doesn't have any signs of injury. Dr. Sivula is wonderful, very knowledgeable and we just love him! We can't thank him enough for all he's done for our Dusty.
