Testimonial by Barney's owner
"Our black Labrador retreiver Barney suffered a spinal stroke
on 3rd September 2007. He was paralysed from the neck down and his eyes had stopped making tears He spent 12 days in a specialist
vet centre and then came home, unable to walk but showing signs of improvement. We were advised that he would need hydrotherapy
and physiotherapy to aid his recovery.
Barney now swims at Meadow Farm Hydrotherapy twice a week and
they recommended Sarah Clemson for his physiotherapy."
"We saw Sarah for an initial consultation at Meadow Farm and have
been seeing her about once a week since then.
Without Sarah's care and advice, we believe that Barney's recovery
would have been considerably slower. She has given us new exercises for Barney at each visit, which take into account the
changes in his body and the need to change how we are treating him. She has provided equipment and has been at the end of
the phone for advice, when we have had any worries. She has kept us and Barney motivated throughout.
We are now at about 80% recovery physically and Barney is able
to walk on his own, although not always in a stright line! His eyes are getting better as well.
When your dog has suferred a trauma, you cannot deal with this
alone and I would recommend Sarah to any one needing help and support with their pet."
