Cruciate and swimming

[victoria1140]

My local hydrotherapy place won't allow Raven into the pool as it's not recommended for cruciate repairs.

Does this mean she shouldn't go swimming as she is now officially her normal hellraiser thug status and is happy and bouncy as hell.

Why isn't it recommended, did anyone say?

 

[victoria1140]

No they didn't say why and l waited longer the second time before starting hydrotherapy

DidntDidn't know if it was due to the plates they put in

Not until after 16 weeks as it can cause problems due to action... I waited with Katy for sixteen weeks. I went to a great Ortho vet and he warned me pre surgery. Elbows are the total opposite, get them swimming as soon as the sutures are out.... If you really want I can find out the exact reason as I have all the info still, just not here

 

[victoria1140]

Please Ronnie as then l can pass the info on if anyone else ever needs it
