Physical Rehab For Animals: Scout's House Appointment 3 - 10/16/10

First off I would like to apoligize for my mom getting my physical rehab session photo's up so late this week. Mom was in the middle of her midterms, so I guess I will has to give her a break...

Below are the photographs from my 10/16/10 physical rehab appointment at Scout's House.

I did some more lower level laser light therapies, which is applied at specific acupressure points...

And then I received a nice ice treatment...
This is me with one of the interns doing my ice treatment...
She was very nice and will's make an pawsome physical therapist once she finishes school...
After my ice treatment I tried some thing new during this session. It was called the balancy board...

Boy was that hard. I's tried to balance myself but it takes a lots of muscle control...I think's I will have to keep working on this one....

Then I did my normals manual PT exercises...

After which I prepared for my swimming lessons...

(One should always wear a life vest when one is planning on going swimming so that they don't sink to the bottom of the water...hehe...)

Of course I had to express and make known my feeling on the swimming matter...

But in the end, I did my swimming lessons (hydrotherapy) like all good boys trying to recover should...

My session came to an ends with my mommy talking to the wonderful peoples at Scout's House about acupuncture treatments...We's all agree that acupuncture is sometimes I haven't tried yet and the treatments could prove to be super beneficial for me's, (many of the physical therapists and the founder of Scout's House have done such treatment on their own pets and have found the treatments to work wonderfully when it comes to rehabilitating animals, not to mention have seen the same kind of results in the animals they help who are receiving such treatments...) but the treatments be super expensive, at $131.00 for the inital exam and $152.00 a treatment there afters. Scout's House contracts out with an acupuncturists so the costs of such treatment is no covered by their Holly Heart's fund...my Facebook friendz Jeffy, (he be a really cute, little green guy) has therefore offers to do a Flippin Crazy Stuntaton, to helps raise money to cover the cost of my treatments, and to helps pay for the ultrasound I needs, but he needs people to sponsor him for this ongoing event. He be doing the stunts and then video recording them for everyones enjoyment. If you would's like to sponsor Jeffy, please make a donation to the Chip In account he has set up for me's here. You can then watch his crazy stunts by clicking here. Thank you Jeffy's for agreeing to do this crazy events for me to helps out with my medical costs, and thank you's to all who has sponsored Jeffy so far. Your ongoing support means a lots to me...

And on a final's note, so you's can see first hands how much your donations are helping me's, this be a video of me's taken before I started my physical rehabs...as you can see, I could's barely walks...



and this be a video of me's taken Thursday nights (10/21/10).


Not only is I starting to walks again, but I is walkings pretty fast thanks to all yours support!

Love Always Your Friend,
Moki

Hope you keep getting better at walking, Moki. It can't be fun to keep falling down but you always get back up and keep trying again. Good job!
