Finnegan Undergoes Range of Motion Exercises During One of His Rehab Sessions.
Finnegan undergoes range of motion exercises during one of his rehab sessions. – Finnegan gets put through his range of motion exercises, including flexion and extension of his hind limbs, by his canine rehab therapist Leann. This is to help restore as much range of motion to his hips as possible, status post surgery. Since Finnegan developed severe hip displasia at nine months old, he had to have the neck and head of both his femurs removed, which in veterinary medicine is known as an FHO. Scar tissue, muscle and cartilage then fill the area to form a false joint. For six weeks post op, any dog that undergoes an FHO must be kept quietly crated and walked on a lease, and assisted with a towel on their hind area due to pain and discomfort. Finnegan was uncomfortable for the first three weeks particularly, but he did really well all in all and I am very happy for him. He’s a cutie.
