Kiko's issue began with him. Keeping his leg up and then biting a toe, which he took the whole toenail off, which I immediately took him to his vet which he diagnosed as soft tissue pain etc and a tumor of some sort and he amputated his toe. And said he should be walking back on it normal again soon. So after a week or so still progress, I took him back cause there was no progress, his muscle was smaller in that leg now, didn't wag his tail much and he would have issues now coming up the stairs and no longer jumped in bed at night, his daily ritual for 10 years (even if I said no, lol). So then he put wrapped a cap on the good leg and said it was probably psychological. And he did start walking on that leg, which I said cool. NOT cool cause after removing the cap and his bandage, he bit off his other foots toenails and the pad of that foot. I took him back to the vet (this all happening within a month) and that was then diagnosed as allergies, etc so after steroid shots, cortisone shots and bandages etc. Kiko now started walking on his two front legs with his hind legs up and no longer could urinate or defecate on his own. I then took to researching, all of his symptoms and new characteristics, because he has always been very active as if he were a puppy (running, jumping, happy etc). - found C.A.R.E. in the process and emailed my story. I immediately received a response from Dr. Heather Oxford and she said it sounds like a neurological spinal issue and said to bring him in which was diagnosed as severe paraparesis and severe LS pain likely secondary to IVDD vs others. Etc. So he began treatment in the 8 week program with their very caring, experienced and knowledgeable staff. And with his treatments of acupuncture, massage, stretching and water therapy 80% of his pain was controlled, his hump in his back straightened, his shifts his weight more so using his hips to balance. He still has issues urinating 100% on his own and defecating, and still not using his hind legs, but the progress he had gotten to and where they have been able to bring him to physically, I still trust and believe in the staff at C.A.R.E. That they will be able to get him to 90-100% He's happier and physically able to do more than he was able to and whenever I get ready to bring him he is over ecstatic and runs around with excitement more than he ever does or has going anywhere. So he too has come to love the staff here. And I have since signed up for another 8 week program, with complete faith that we'll be ok.

So remember those school yard bullies who would not relent unless you screamed out uncle or auntie, whatever the case might require? Poor Boomer was pinched and prodded every which way during yesterday’s four week re-evaluation at CARE but for an important purpose.
As you all know, Boomer was struck with overnight paralysis on Friday, June 10th (only one month but a whole universe ago). He was diagnosed with intevertebral disc disease, which is common for Corgis. The founder of Boomer’s Miracle Dog Rescue guessed that he is half Golden and half Corgi. After his initial emergency weekend stint at Animal Medical Center where he received, among other things, steroid shots and laser treatments that likely set in motion the reversal of paralysis, Boomer was incredibly fortunate to start treatment at CARE the Monday he was discharged from the hospital. CARE veterinarian Dr. Heather Oxford took pity on our plight and squeezed Boomer in for a thorough initial 2-hour evaluation.
CARE, or as its full name can accurately describe, Comprehensive Animal Rehabilitation, is exactly what it purports to be; highly trained veterinarians who are also trained in acupuncture and physical therapy working onsite with highly talented and committed physical therapists and technicians (I LOVE the co-owner physical therapist’s license plate – PT for K9s – sort of says it all, eh?).
Boomer had been going to CARE every weekday for the last 4 weeks, where he has been receiving acupuncture, physical therapy and most recently aqua therapy from the most dedicated and animal loving team imaginable. He has grown from barking at every living creature and driving the staff crazy, to following his favorite PTs around and allowing certain inclined staff to pet him and simultaneously design a Mohawk on his head! CARE also taught me how to do physical therapy at home and lent me a wheelcart to use for him.
At his last re-evaluation 2 weeks ago, Boomer had regained pain sensation to his knees and was feeling his tail. I learned that feeling in one’s tail within 6 weeks is the best prognostic indicator of being able to recover from paralysis and move! Boomer felt his tail after 2 weeks of daily treatment at CARE and can now move his tail all around – not quickly enough to swat flies, but you get the drift. Dr. Oxford, his treating vet, at that time gave him a 75% chance of being able to walk.
So...fast forward to today’s four week evaluation. Bottom line—it’s no longer an if but a when. Dr. Oxford give Boomer a 95% chance of being able to walk again! Today happens to be my birthday, and I thank Dr. Oxford and the CARE team for giving me the best birthday news possible at this time. Boomer has regained deep pain sensation in all parts of his body, including his hind paws. And what is with this south pawed family? My daughter Marley and husband Sam are both lefties, and apparently so is Boomer. His left side is the dominant one. He has much feeling and reaction on his left hind side.
Now that his pain sensation has returned (which was crucial), the focus now is on nerve regeneration so that Boomer regains his motor control. Dr. Oxford said that while Boomer regained deep and superficial pain sensation at an astronomical rate, the rate of nerve regeneration which will lead to motor control, is about 2 centimeters (less than an inch) per month with continued physical therapy. Throughout Boomer’s recovery, Dr. Oxford has remained optimistic but from a concrete progress point of view. This means that Boomer could walk as early as 2 months from now.
Dr. Oxford has fine tuned Boomer’s treatment for the next month to twice weekly visits to CARE. Boomer will be doing the underwater treadmill and receiving physical therapy on his CARE days. Boomer’s muscle mass in his two hind legs have actually increased half an inch. His left side has much more motor control in the upper thigh area, and the right side is slowly catching up.
Boomer will do physical therapy in the cart graciously lent to us by CARE several times a day on his non-CARE days. He’s got the will to talk for sure and is working tirelessly. He knows that so many are rooting for him including our friends at CARE! Thanks CARE!

What a wonderfully special place! Right from the start the warm introduction by Callie on the phone (who seems to take everything in 'stride') to the first hello by Brittney and the entire front office team…to JoBim’s new favorite doctor and one I truly trust and respect - Heather Oxford – what a delight she is – warm, caring and so very smart and 'open' and now Nicole for acupuncture – so kind and dear (lovely addition) and then therapy begins – what a staff of talented assistants and techs – CAT + Dave + Jimmy + Amanda + Laurie + Steve + Jake + Jennifer + Juan + Stephanie (and if I’m missing anything – I don’t mean to!) The list goes on and on – each with distinct personalities and talent – but they all have in common an ‘ease’ and a love of animals.
There is of course – the physical therapists – Josh and Noriko on the weekends too – and Amy who is full of patience and strength and is unique in her calmness and understanding for both the patient and their 'parents'.
What an amazing team – that JoBim and I truly appreciate and cherish. They do CARE – and it shows! Thanks CARE!

My experience has been great. Everyone at rehab seems to go the extra mile to help Rudy. Dr. Waldman has been very informative with Rudy’s condition. Rudy has definitely benefited from rehab. As Rudy has arthritis has good days and bad days. Rudy will continue his rehab for another few months. Thank you to all the great staff! Thanks CARE!

"As a former show dog, Stoney collected many ribbons and spent hours in the ring. But with age, our beloved Wheaton Terrier found in harder and harder to romp and play and get around like he once did. Stoney’s veterinarian and neurologist did a thorough examination in August, 2010. Our dog’s back legs were wobbly and he had difficulty walking. The veterinarian recommended that we take Stoney to be seen by CARE, California Animal Rehabilitation, in Santa Monica. Dr. Jessica Waldman at California Animal Rehabilitation quickly diagnosed the problem and began intensive therapy. Today, Stoney has made a nearly full recovery and has responded miraculously to treatment at CARE. He is doing remarkably well. At 12 years old, Stoney is now able to run and play much like he once did as a younger dog. He is very healthy and happy and we are indebted to CARE."

"I feel so much better since I’ve been coming to CARE. My bones and muscles are better AND I’ve made so many new friends too!! I look forward to my trip to CARE every week – Although I’m doing so good they tell me I may only have to come once a month… which is good I guess but I’ll miss seeing my new buddies. I am a T.V. star, you know, so my ability to walk, sit, and all that stuff is very important. If you are having any problems at all – Go to CARE and they will hook you up with whatever you need. I promise. Good Luck!"

"Princess Clover’s Care at “CARE” has been life altering. She came to CARE unable to use her hind legs, in pain and recovering from disc/spinal surgery. In the last four weeks she’s strengthened her core, her legs and relearned the art of “walking the runway” almost without staggering. She’s now mobile at home, happy and improving daily. The staff and Dr. JW are my heroes. 'We' love you.
Blessings & Gratitude,"

"As long as our drives were, our experience at CARE made it all worth it. P-chan started with significant spinal pain and luxating patellas, making simple things like getting up and walking very difficult. She couldn't enjoy running freely at the dog park or beach anymore, and cried going up and down a couple stairs to the yard. We even noticed that she couldn't sit straight like she had before.
Within a couple weeks of starting at CARE, we'd seen great improvement, and she loved going for hydrotherapy and PT exercises. At her final evaluation, she'd gained good muscle bulk with more balance to her stand and gait, and more importantly, she is pain-free off medications, and runs as if nothing had ever happened. Our primary vet was doubtful about us heading out so far for these visits, but I plan on bringing P-chan in soon to show her what a difference CARE's coordinated team approach can make."

"I was in England with my husband for the summer when I get a call from my mother who was taking care of my dog Georgy, that she was dragging her legs. Within three hours, Georgy was having major back surgery. Being so far away was really hard. My mother was scared that she has to do this on her own. It seemed so overwhelming.
Georgy’s surgeon recommended Georgy go to C.A.R.E.
Right from the first appointment – it felt like we had found the road to recovery for Georgy. Dr. Waldman and the whole staff are so caring and professional. And the attention to detail that C.A.R.E. shows to their furry clients is something I wish we saw in human rehabs. Because I was away, they were so kind as to send me videos of Georgy in the beginning of her therapy!! It made me feel so much better seeing her progress. C.A.R.E. doesn’t think it is a big deal to go the extra mile for their patients parents!!
Georgy LOVES going to C.A.R.E. – her tail wags like crazy when we pull into the parking lot!!
And even more important, Georgy can walk again!!!! And she keeps getting better and better. C.A.R.E. is a place of healing and hope for both the patient and the patient’s parent."

"The Entire staff has been friendly and helpful. Any questions were promptly answered and any problems rapidly addressed. We saw our dog go from a point where he was dragging his back legs to where he is walking and even running in a very short time. The staff seemed even more pleased with his progress than we were and we were overjoyed. We cannot say enough about the care given to our dog and the work and accomplishments achieved. We tell everyone about the wonder work done here and the hope there is for handicapped pets."

"Just before Christmas 2008, Sofia, our 5 year old standard dachshund, suffered a ruptured disc and required surgery. After 6 weeks she suffered a second ruptured disc and needed emergency surgery. She was unable to stand or walk on her rear legs and had lost control of her bladder and bowels. Our surgeon referred us to CARE for physical therapy.
After two months of 3x a week therapy, including doing underwater treadmill, exercises and acupuncture, we see a marked improvement in her ability to try to walk again. We also received a series of exercises to do with Sofia at home. In addition, Dr. Oxford designed a dietary program aiding in Sofia’s rehabilitation that we will continue to follow.
Everyone at CARE is absolutely amazing, professional and most of all loving. Doctors and therapists for us two-legged creatures should take lessons. We would recommend CARE to anyone without reservation. Thank you for all you did to help return Sofia to a happy life!"

"The team at CARE is amazing. My first exposure was to Dr. Jessica Waldman who was not only professional and caring but totally cool. She had a sense from the start that our dog T-bone may have had something else going on. Originally his joints were swollen, he couldn't use his left rear leg, he was feverish and barely eating and was diagnosed with a staph infection. His symptoms dissipated but then a month into his treatment at CARE his symptoms came back and she sent us immediately for follow-up care and confirmed her suspicions- that he has an autoimmune disease.
Her partner Amy Kramer and the other doctors and therapists at CARE are equally talented. They have ALL at different times offered sage advice and suggested new beneficial treatments. The support staff and assistants couldn't be more helpful and loving toward my dog. I was tentative at first about leaving my dog with strangers but they quickly became his friend and advocates. Now when we show up for appointments he runs in the door. Maybe it's the treats, but I'd like to think it's the staff.
T-bone has had a rough year but is starting to look and act like our dog again! We can't recommend CARE enough."

"I’m Daisy Blanchard and I have been coming to the CARE center since April of 2008. My original graduation date was considerably delayed as, midway through my original therapy program, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and I had to forgo therapy while I underwent chemotherapy.
When I returned to the CARE program I was much weaker than when I started. I was also diabetic and had an eye problem related to my diabetes. When I originally came to the center I had been diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy. That was hard enough on my 13 year old body. Little did I know that would be the least of my worries! Anyway, I came back to the center with my cancer in remission, resumed all of my therapies and finally graduated. Along the way, we got my diabetes under control and all those nasty acupuncture needles helped clear up my eye problem. I am now in my continuation course and my Mom says I am doing really well. She says I probably wouldn’t be walking now if it wasn’t for CARE. She gets all teary-eyed when she says that!
Everyone at CARE thinks I am really sweet and good but the truth is the CARE staff are the really sweet ones. They are very patient and kind and dedicated to making me as well as I can be. Best of all, Mom and I have made some very special friends and we love Dr. Jessica."

"The worst day of my life was 3/20/08 when my miniature dachshund, Tinkerbell sustained a T12-13 disc rupture and became paralyzed. She was treated surgically and recovered well but still had residual functional defeats. Sure, she is a very accomplished and fierce competitor in the obedience show ring; I wanted her to have every opportunity for maximum recovery.
As a nurse with a strong rehab background I knew she needed expert help. CARE Animal Rehabilitation was the answer to a dream. From the initial evaluation through her extensive rehab center based and home progress, my little girl made amazing progress. The staff are professional, compassionate, caring and ever knowledgeable about breed and species characteristics and needs so that a completely individualized program can be developed and modified as needed for each patient. Dietary and food supplement modifications are also a strong component of the program presenting a true blend of the medical and holistic approaches to treatment. I am totally committed to continuing on at home program, to maintain her going, and also have had my second dachshund, Romeo, also a show, evaluated and started on a home program to prevent an injury like Tinkerbell suffered.
Thank you CARE Rehabilitation Staff.
Tinkerbell & Romeo thank you, too!!"

"I do want to say how great everyone is there at CARE - what a wonderful facility. Beyond the exceptional care and rehab work that is done...for me it's the personal touch, the genuine care, fondness and desire to get licks that won me over!!
I have recommended you, and God forbid things get worse there is no other place to go but to CARE. Hopefully that will be a long way off because of the hands on therapy that you all taught me that will continue to keep my boy limber. We walk a lot more and when we are in Oregon and WA. all he does is swim and run."

"When we first brought Lee to CARE, he was very depressed, was losing weight and could hardly walk.
Since he has been treated by CARE, he is a new "person." He is so happy, enthusiastic, and full of life and energy. He has been doing underwater treadmill, physical therapy exercises and acupuncture. Everyone who knows Lee says that he is making a marvelous recovery.
We recommend CARE for any dog with a degenerative neurological condition. Lee is now strong, happy and playful. He loves coming to his therapy at CARE. The staff is so skilled, knowledgeable and caring. Lee is going to continue his rehab indefinitely, because it is helping him so much and gives him wonderful quality of life."

"The CARE and treatment that Kayla received from the wonderful staff at California Animal Rehabilitation was life changing, not only for her but me too.
Kayla is 13 and is strong, happy and healthy due in large part to her therapy regime. I watched her go from lethargic depressed and sore, back to a vibrant, prancing and thriving.
I would recommend C.A.R.E. to anyone, because the gift of a happy, healthy
pet is the best gift I can give someone.
Kayla and her sister Ruby say thank you too!!

"California Animal Rehab is incredible. They went above and beyond my expectations. When I brought my dog, Mosley, into the center, she had no use of either of her back legs and had not for 6 months. We had done some treadmill work at a facility in Indiana. I had seen small glimpses of hope and nerve responses, but to nearly anyone else who saw her, she was a lost cause. She had sores from dragging her legs and she was completely incontinent. I saw the determination in my dog and I saw that she wasn't ready to give up. Dr. Waldman saw that too. Our initial meeting was very personal and detailed. She spent time with Mosley. One thing I have never felt in this center, like you do at other doctor offices, was that I was just another paycheck. They are never rushing through their treatments and at the same time, Mosley is never left in the waiting room to be seen. Everyone can appreciate that sort of respect!! The entire staff is great! Mosley's improvement since she came to CARE is unbelievable. Her vet suspects she has a "disk disease" that caused paralysis from a slipped disk. She spent months with no use of her legs. CARE brought her from there to completely walking! She also has more control of her bathroom issues. She is a happy, happy dog. My neighbors call her the "miracle dog". It was amazing and emotional to watch the videos comparing her first day or rehab to her most recent visit. I'm so grateful for everything CARE has done for me and Mos. They will always have a special place in my heart."

"WHOOSH. . ." That was the sound of my finally exhaling the nervous breath I hadn’t even realized I had been holding until I walked into CARE and met its amazing staff. The love of my life, Pasha, at the tender age of four had already undergone back surgery for two herniated discs that almost paralyzed her.
Two years later, I awoke to the same heart-wrenching sound of my baby in pain. From that moment forward, I lived with the constant dread that she may have to undergo more surgery, remain perpetually medicated or, worse yet, that she may become imminently paralyzed.
Then, I found CARE. From the moment I walked through the doors into its facility, which I fondly refer to as the "oasis of tranquility and peace," I felt an immediate sense of hope, which has not been misplaced. Pasha’s recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. In less than two weeks, she was nearly back to her joyful, playful, mischievous self. And, although her back problems are chronic and she will have setbacks throughout her life, it is by no means a small measure of relief that I have CARE to turn to and lean on whenever Pasha and I need it.
It is not simply the phenomenal medical support that makes CARE truly exceptional. It is the TLC that the entire staff lavishes on your loved one and you that has earned CARE my undying devotion. So, thank you, thank you, thank you! I would be utterly lost without you. You guys are absolutely priceless!"

"Indiana was treated like canine royalty by the staff at C.A.R.E. during his rehab. He made great improvements in the 4 weeks he was with Dr. Waldman, Dr. Kramer, and company. It is one of a kind treatment and now my dog will finally swim since he had aqua therapy at C.A.R.E.
Thanks to all of you!"

"Dear Dr. Jessica & Staff,
It’s been so much fun getting to know you. You make my back and hips feel so much better. I especially like walking on the treadmill and the great massages you give. My muscles have grown and have helped me walk and run properly. Thank you for all the low calorie treats. However, I don’t like eating less at mealtime ☺ Woof Woof, Mr. Zeke A gorgeous, loving, sweet 11 ½ year old Golden Retriever."

"SAMMI'S BACK! Let me introduce you to Sammi. A most unique dog. He is an eight year old spinger spaniel who was lucky enough to have met a most unique team of humans to help him. While barking at a neighbors dog one day, Mom noticed he had begun limping. His limping became worse, and after only two weeks his limping had turned into falling down. Upon her visit to her local vet, she was told he had a spinal injury. Further tests revealed that he had a slipped disk just below his neck. Well, a
After the surgery and nine days in the hospital, Sammi came to C.A.R.E. He could not walk at all, or even hold his little head up. Nobody was sure if he would ever walk again. Dr. Jessica took good care of Mom that day and Amy took him into her heart and into her world of rehabilitation. She worked with him tirelessly everyday, as did the entire crew of C.A.R.E. They showed us that anything is possible and they showed Sammi how to be strong. And he did. Now, Sammi is walking and running like the other dogs. What a beautiful thing life is.
THANK YOU ALL AT C.A.R.E. SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!
LOVE, SAMMI"

"I am writing this as a testament to not only the miraculous healing that took place for my dog, Tucker, but for all of the dogs I have been witness to over the past year we have gone to CARE.
Tucker is a ten-year-old yellow lab who was overtaken with degenerative disk disease. When he came to CARE, he was in excruciating pain. With the help of everyone at CARE, Tucker went from what appeared to be death’s door to a pain-free, rejuvenated existence. He now looks and acts like a five-year-old lab and is also happier than he has ever been. Because Tucker loves coming to CARE, we have continued on a maintenance program.
In addition to the therapies performed at CARE, I believe one of the most therapeutic aspects is the absolute love and “care” generated by everyone who works there. They believe that every patient can not only improve but exceed all expectations. And, therefore, their patients demonstrate dramatic outcomes!
I have seen countless cases come to CARE – dogs that are paralyzed, crippled and considered hopeless by normal veterinary standards. These dogs have been miraculously regenerated back to health.
I am truly grateful to CARE for facilitating Tucker back to puppy-hood and supporting me in my belief, that I also hold for my patients, that everyone can change their life and their reality."

"Zoey is now 14. Before we rescued her (when she was still a puppy) – she had been hit by a car and her leg was shattered. Surgery repaired her leg, but she always walked (hiked, ran) with a limp. As Zoey got older, arthritis set in and she was less able to go on long walks and appeared to be in pain. Acupuncture and herbs helped, but only to a point, and pain medication also helped, but was very hard on her liver. So, our vet recommended CARE. From our first consultation with Dr. Waldman, we knew we were in expert hands (and more importantly Zoey was). Now, only four weeks into her treatment, Zoey’s transformation is remarkable and thrilling. It is unbelievable the progress she has made. She has so much more energy (almost like a puppy), she’s gotten stronger, built muscle and seems to be out of pain for the first time in years. Dr. Waldman, Amy, and the entire staff are all amazing. It is a calm, focused, relaxed environment, where every employee is conscientious, and takes a personal interest in Zoey. Zoey loves going there. Between her new diet, the treatment she’s gotten at CARE, and the exercises they’ve shown us how to do at home, Zoey has a new zest for life, runs around, and seems genuinely happy. We would highly recommend CARE to anyone. It is a place of true healing."

"CA.R.E. has given ME a boost. I have a 14 year old German shepherd and her remarkable improvement and her enjoyment of her “lessons” eases my heart. Her back left leg had been giving way and twisting around her right rear leg. Now, she has more muscle and self corrects her stance. The facility and the staff have a healing energy and I have great confidence in their treatments, respect, and affection for their clients."

"Dickens was giving up on life due to mobility issues before we were referred to CARE. He could barely walk due to old age, arthritis + spine issues. With the love + CARE of all of the employees + therapists here he is now able to follow us around the house go on short walks, is back to stealing chips off of the coffee table and friends have stopped saying “your dog is on his lasts legs”. It has been refreshing to see a staff of people who enjoy their work so much and to see all the animal clients enjoy their therapy so much."

"What a pleasant rewarding experience it was to take my dog to CARE.
Dr. Waldman and Dr. Kramer took over, together with their very dedicated, capable and caring staff, the rehabilitation of my 3 year old Shitzu-Poodle “Pepper”.
Within 2 months of 2 visits a week, which included acupuncture, manual therapy and underwater treadmill Pepper was back walking and playing, without pain, as if he had never had a problem.
Bravo CARE! And thank you so very much."

"Benny had back surgery on July 03, 2007 with an 80-85% expected recovery. We found CARE 6 weeks post surgery and Benny could walk but only with
assistance as he slipped and fell every few steps. We started a program of acupuncture and therapy 2x a week and saw progress immediately.
But, after 4 weeks was our biggest breakthrough-no more "monkey pants" or rather assistance with a sling.
I would say we are now at 90% fully recovered and we are still working towards 100%. We would never have seen this recovery rate without the
loving staff at CARE. They truly changed our recovery outcome and helped me to know how to help my dog for optimum results.
Thank you thank you thank you!"
