water therapy


When Lily got her last splint off after her accident last fall the vet suggested we meet with the puppy physical therapist. I took our resident nurse along for the consultation to help me interpret the medicine talk. The vet pt said it could take up to a year for Lily to recover completely and recommended therapy to help her heal (think $$$ here). When we left the office, my nurse-friend suggested we look on Craigslist for a free spa so I could do water therapy with Lily at home. In less than 24 hours we had a 5 person spa loaded on the trailer and headed to Mountain View. 

Lily has recovered nicely. She was very patient with me during our therapy sessions although I think she might be having hot tub nightmares. 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I've been able to enjoy some water therapy myself.

do you really need HOT tub in Arizona? I thought maybe cold tub would be more regular.
