The small animal rehabilitation unit at the OSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital has a new underwater treadmill. With an average of 13 animals per day using the old treadmill from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, the rehab unit was completely booked up. The new treadmill will allow for more appointment times.
The new treadmill is the same brand but has some useful, new features:
- Less than half the weight which makes it easier to clean
- Shorter height which makes it easier to reach the animals
- Longer length works better for dogs with long strides
- Bigger viewing window
- Digital touch screen controls instead of push buttons
The treadmill purchase was made with a donation from regular user, Camass, and his family who wish to remain anonymous.
