Sheriff started limping on a back leg when he was just 2 years old. The limping would come and go but eventually became consistent and worsened. After many vet visits and opinions, Kelsey decided it was in Sheriff’s best interest to undergo surgery due to his torn cruciate ligament. Sheriff was enrolled in a rehabilitation program and began to get stronger and was able to take progressively longer walks. Kelsey worked with him at home on range of motion and exercises (though he was a little bit stubborn). Sheriff made slow but steady progress in rehabilitation and eventually got cleared by the surgeon to return to full activity! Unfortunately, shortly following his release to full activity, Sheriff tore his other cruciate ligament while getting up from laying down. He had his second surgery soon after, again followed by a long course of rehabilitation. He seemed to bounce back a little faster after the second surgery and soon enough was running at the dog park again! Sheriff is now 14 years old; he is slowing down in the last year but he maintained his strength and function throughout the years. Kelsey believes this is due to successful surgeries, rehabilitation after surgery and a long term home maintenance plan. 

Sheriff is an example of consistent dedication that every dog owner can be a part of when the health of their pet is at risk. Partner with Kelsey today to begin your journey of rehabilitation success.
