Swimming

Tess goes swimming at Beachin Dog Therapy Pool, just outside Chester. She usually goes twice a week, and after each session she seems a little better, and it certainly benefits the muscles on her front end. The people who own the pool are very kind, and we do all the work, Tess paddles round using her front legs, whilst one of us works her back legs for her, although occasionally we get a little flicker of her helping. It has also benefited her back muscles, and she can now support herself a little if we get her into standing position, although she definitely cannot stand unaided. You can see a video of her here:

We are lucky to have such good veterinary support places locally - I guess it's due to the proximity of Leahurst, the veterinary college.
