How one rescue dog found new life in a rehab clinic at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital

She was dumped on the streets in Texas.

We think she was probably about five when we got her and we've had her almost five years.

Oh, she is so happy, so laid back and so happy.

Just a good dog wants to be loved on as much as possible.

I first met Chrissy in neuro, so she came in on kind of an emergency situation in neurology, and she was pretty much down in all four legs.

She was having trouble just standing for even just a few minutes.

Well, and the conversation was possible putting her down.

And that was the initial conversation from day one, since we've been here was, it's all about quality of life.

You know what where are they at with their pain management.

And then we're looking at function like how well they're able to, you know, function and be mobile.

And both of those together kind of naturally address quality of life.

The report adds to ongoing university-led research relevant to veterinary medicine, animal health, and clinical decision-making.
