What You Need For Your Initial Evaluation

• Your pet’s medical records.
• Your pet’s x-rays and MRI reports.
• Your pet’s medications, supplements, and herbs along with dosages.
• Your pet’s diet including name of food, list of ingredients, and quantity of food being fed (in cups)

Rehabilitation Evaluations are for animals with orthopedic or neurologic conditions, pain, obesity, or poor conditioning.

• During the evaluation, Dr. Danoff will take a thorough medical history, review your pet's medical records and x-rays, perform a physical exam and neuromuscular exam, gait analysis, goniometry (measuring joint angles to assess your pet's flexibility), and measure limb circumference (to assess muscle mass/atrophy).
• Initial Rehabilitation Evaluations last anywhere from 30-90 minutes.

Following Each Evaluation

Following each evaluation, a treatment plan is designed specifically for your pet's needs. Our discussion is summarized and detailed instructions are written down for you to take home. Our exam findings and recommendations are entered into our computer and a copy of your pet's chart is sent to your primary veterinarian and specialists. We continue to update your veterinarians with your pet's progress. Recheck appointments will be scheduled based upon the nature of your pet's condition.
