We are revisiting this timely topic with a Rehab Rewind. Since this episode aired in March of 2024 Cathy has proudly earned the title of Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Technician. Join us as PetAbility hosts, Cathy and Chris, share their expertise around this topic that will undoubtedly touch all our lives in some way, shape, or form.
Our pet's are living longer, surviving illnesses and traumas that were unthinkable in the past. If you couple this with our ever-growing attitudes that pets are full-fledged members of our families, then the fields of palliative care and pet hospice become vital. Cathy Symons, CVT, CCRP, deftly explains the integral role that physical rehabilitation plays to 1) alleviate symptoms and stress from medical conditions (palliative care) and 2) compassionately support owners and their pets, physically and emotionally, during their end-of-life journey, while preparing pet parents to let go of their loved one with dignity and grace when the time comes (hospice).
