At 13-years-old this beautiful gentle giant had serious spine and hip issues. (A fused vertebra, neuropathy, spondylosis and osteoarthritis). He was struggling to walk on his hind legs and wasn’t enjoying life as much.
Ferdie returned to his ‘cheeky old self’
Ferdie was a wise old soul but like many dogs on a first visit he was very anxious. He was holding a lot of tension around his body so I took it very slowly and gently doing only as much as he could tolerate. After his first session he slept for a day-and-a-half as the WEBB did its magic. On day 2 his mum Sam said he was ‘bouncier and better on his hind legs.’ Within weeks he had returned to his ‘old cheeky self.’
I saw Ferdie regularly for 12 months with weekly sessions in his last six months. The sessions maintained his mobility and eased tension caused from his various conditions. It encouraged his body to relax and restore as much as it was able and enabled him to go for short walks and play with his toys.
‘We believe WEBB therapy extended Ferdie’s life’
“After a few sessions Ferdie was eager to go on longer walks and was much happier in himself. We had our cheeky, three-year-old dog back which was amazing. He knew where Ruth lived and whined in excitement when we drove to Winchcombe, eager to push his way through her front door. Ruth and WEBB made a massive difference to Ferdie’s quality of life. We’re convinced his life was prolonged because of it for which we will be forever grateful.”
Sam, Ferdie’s mum
Ferdie was still coming for his weekly WEBB sessions when he passed away at home with suspected heart failure. RIP dear Ferdie Ferd, you were a beautiful soul.
