Update on Cooper the young Hound suffering with Hip Dysplasia
We thought you'd like an update on young lad Cooper.
You'll recall that Cooper has quite significant hip dysplasia which needs therapy until he is fully grown, then a decision can be made whether he requires surgery or not.
Cooper has started on YouMove to help support his joints. His walks are kept controlled and relaxed so he doesn't over stress his joints. Cooper has also started, and loves, hydrotherapy.
As you can see from the photos, Cooper loves his new Aunty Cathy of Peak District Canine Hydrotherapy, and we think he's decided the hydro is just an excuse to get more cuddles and love!
Cooper has had 2 sessions so far and is doing really well with this. It's too early to see a difference at this stage but he does everything that is required of him, in between smooches!
It has been suggested that Cooper has his stance analysed as this would then show us what his current weight distribution on each limb is. This can then be repeated in a few months time so any improvement or changes can be monitored. Cooper's foster mum is in the process of arranging this.
Each Hydrotherapy session costs £40.00 and Cathy will invoice us every 5 sessions and will keep us updated with reports. We are sure you will agree this is best for Cooper and his future, hopefully we will be able to avoid any future surgery.

About the author
They never ever leave a Basset behind always do everything in their power to get the hounds to the right fosters and forever homes in a word they are "AMAZING".
Great work, no hound gets left behind. A true sentiment that is the embodiment of what this organisation is about. Great work team.
They do a good job of saving these hounds and finding special homes for life. They also work hard to raise money to pay for any vet bills.
They do outstanding work with the hounds & always put them first, They match hounds with their perfect parents & when they need vet treatment they get it done, these people are Amazing, could not recommend them enough
Thank you for sending my recent purchases from your shop. Very efficient and wonderful quality merchandise, particularly the canvas/hessian bags and the t-shirts
We have the privilege of adopting Dylan. The whole process was seamless and very reassuring that they cover all bases, both in relation to vetting us and also in the assessment of the hound
