Designed for rehabilitation professionals, this workbook combines current evidence, clinical reasoning, and structured treatment planning to help you confidently manage dogs with Type II IVDD—from chronic spinal pain and neurologic impairment through progressive strengthening, functional mobility, and long-term management.
Includes:
• Acute, Subacute, and Chronic / Strengthening phases of rehabilitation
• Dos, Don'ts, and Red Flags for clinical decision-making and neurologic monitoring
• Goal-oriented treatment plans with precautions, activity restrictions, treatment frequency, and progression criteria
• Positioning, pain management, passive range of motion, soft tissue mobility, and functional mobility interventions
• Progressive strengthening, balance, proprioception, and coordination strategies based on neurologic function
• Therapeutic exercise cross-references to GoGoCharlie® prepopulated home program templates
• Dedicated Notes sections for individualized treatment planning and patient progress
• Neurodevelopmental Sequencing (NDS) Addendum with guidelines for progression from recumbency through standing and supported gait
• Underwater Treadmill (UWT) Addendum with clinical use guidelines for neurologic rehabilitation
Managing a patient with Type II IVDD? This protocol helps clinicians match rehabilitation to neurologic status, functional ability, pain, and movement quality. Conservative rehabilitation progresses from spinal protection and pain management to task-specific locomotor retraining, strengthening, balance, coordination, endurance, and long-term load management to maximize functional mobility and independence.
