"Pet
project," Westside Magazine, Summer
2010
"Dogs have realistic goals and no ulterior motives," said Dr. Amy Kramer,
a physical therapist who transitioned to animal rehabilitation in 2005. "They
just want to be able to get back on the sofa or go for a walk, versus my human
patients who want to get back to extreme sports!" Amy partnered with veterinarian
Dr. Jessica Waldman to create California Animal Rehabilitation (C.A.R.E.), a
first of its kind in the area for dogs and cats needing post-operative recovery
programs or non-surgical options, assistance with neurological disorders, weight
management, and general pain management associated with disorders from aging
or injuries. Read

"Going
out on a limb," The
Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Mississippi), May
2, 2010
Best anyone can figure, the dog was caught in a beaver trap and over a period
of days had to gnaw off his back legs to escape. Catherine Lutz, a brigadier
general in the Mississippi National Guard, found him in the middle of Cox Ferry
Road in Flora on Sept. 19, 2009. "I stopped, rolled down the window and said,
'Boy, this is not the safest place for you to be resting,' " she recalls. "Then
I noticed he was bleeding ... and then I noticed his back legs were gone. So
I got out and walked toward him. He was very friendly, wagging his tail. I picked
him up and put him in my vehicle." Seven
months later, the dog known as Bipod - a coal black mix of German shepherd and
Labrador - can walk and run, even swim. [Note: This article features Dr. Clare
Sanders, owner of MS K9 Rehab and a graduate of the Canine Rehabilitation Institute.] Read

baby alpaca on long trip to recovery" Chicago
Tribune, May 7,
2010
"For an alpaca named E.T., rehab here the
only way he can go home" Daily Herald, May
6, 2010
Dr. Laurie McCauley, CRI faculty member and owner of TOPS Veterinary Rehab in
Grayslake, Illinois, has been making headlines for treating E.T.,
a month-old alpaca from Wisconsin. ""If we can't get him walking
on his own, that's it for him," said vet Laurie McCauley, as she coaxed
E.T. into a sling and walked him about the yard of the rehab center on Thursday. "He
won't be able to get around. It's not like a dog, that can walk on three legs."
But after treatment this week that included laser
therapy to loosen injured leg muscles and walking
on an underwater treadmill, McCauley thinks E.T.'s
prognosis is good.

"Where
animals get healthy: Vet clinic puts holistic
practices to work on four-legged clients," The
Journal Times (Racine, Wisconsin), May 1,
2010
Oliver, a yellow Labrador retriever, settled onto a large dog bed on the floor
as his owner, Debby Gault, explained how he lost a hind leg. Oliver’s right
rear leg was amputated in 2005 after he blew out first one rear knee, then the
other. The last of several unsuccessful surgeries was a full amputation. Before
you could say “red Rover, red Rover, let Jimmy come over,” veterinarian
Rebecca McCracken had inserted the first needle into Oliver. It jutted from the
top of his head — and look, a couple more needles protruded from other
spots on his skin. [Note: Both Dr. McCracken and
her colleague Marie Ashbaugh, CVT, are graduates of the Canine Rehabilitation
Institute.] Read

"They come in with arthritis,

from car accidents or surgery or just bad
judgment (a leap off a balcony). Others
are coping with the ravages of old age.
The most common problem: a tear of that
pesky knee ligament, the ACL. They work
out on treadmills, strengthen their core
muscles, get their joints manipulated and
undergo acupuncture.."
