Post Operative Rehabilitation Care

One of the scariest parts of dog ownership is when our beloved pooch becomes ill and in some circumstances needs surgery.
With the growing demand from our customers to assist in these situations, our Post Operative Rehabilitation Care came about.
Using our amazing 7 Star Luxury Suites, we are able to accommodate guests at any stage of their post operative rehabilitation. Some guests that we have cared for following surgery include TPLO and ACL surgeries, spinal surgery, open wound recoveries and broken bones.
Our Rehabilitation and Special Needs Suites have been designed to give our team control of how much space guest's can have access to during their recovery. For guests coming straight out of surgery who need restricted movement, our small recovery rooms offer the perfect, relaxing environment. With a TV and heating and cooling to keep them comfortable, our Doggy Doaters are able to take the guests out for their short leash walks ( as approved by their attending vet) and return them safely back into their room to relax and recover. As they move through their recovery and may be allowed more area to move in between, we can open up to our small recovery outside, undercover court yard areas to help build up strength and mobility.
Our K9 Limousine service offers the easiest and most comfortable way for your recovering pooch to travel. We are able to collect from your home or the vet clinic that the surgery has taken place at. We pride ourselves on our strong and open communication with both your regular vet and also the vet that has conducted your dog's surgery (should these be different) and are able to return your dog to their clinic at anytime should a check up be required. We also like to keep communication open with you as their owner to keep you up to date with any changes should this be your wishes.
With our K9 Limousine service, we are also able to transport your dog to any post operative rehabilitation services and also welcome these services to the Resort should they need to work on your dog whilst they are with us. This includes, but is not limited to, hydro therapy, bowen therapy, red light therapy and massage.
All of our Doggy Doaters are trained in all areas of medication administration and post operative care which includes:

• Confinement – with lead walking for toileting and recovery exercises
• Medication Administration – any time of the day or night as required, including eye and ear ointments, oral tablets and liquids and injections (including insulin for diabetics)
• Observation of progress and reporting to the treating Vet as required
• Transporting to/from the Vet or Treating Specialist (including Rehab services) for planned appointments
  
• Daily required exercises as prescribed by treating Vet or Specialist
• Bandage checking and changes if required
• 24 / 7 Monitoring with Managers living on site
  
• Monitoring of weight, breathing, and other physical signs of change
