Orthopaedic care can involve different professionals and several stages of assessment or treatment. Ask where rehabilitation fits in your dog’s current plan and which information the team needs from the referring veterinary practice.
It is reasonable to ask how a proposed activity relates to a particular goal. Clear goals give everyone a shared subject for the next review, whether that discussion is about comfort, function or an everyday task.
