The weeks after TPLO surgery, we obsessively tried to keep an 80lb lab from moving too much, and we worried every little thing would cause an injury that would delay recovery. Dr. Wendy greeted us with a warm smile and encouraging words; we had not been doing everything wrong.  Each week Dr. Wendy's treatment plan included laser treatments, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), manual physical therapy exercises, and sending us home with easy activities to do during the week to keep building his strength.  She even gave us videos of our Lab doing the exercises with her during their session, so we knew what it looked like being done correctly.   Having Dr. Wendy in our corner during recovery meant we always had tools and knowledge to help our Lab recover....More
