What’s the point of immersing the treadmill in shallow water? Especially when a cat’s involved?
Okay, just looked it up. The tank is normally used full. This cat’s getting off easy in more ways than one.
Buoyancy. Makes it easier to support your own weight and move around and puts lets stress on the joints.
I am guessing they are slowly introducing her into being in water by using just a small amount to start with? Especially since most cats usually don’t like being in water. Perhaps the plan is to add a little more water with each therapy session? One of my previous dogs benefited greatly with underwater treadmill therapy. He had bad knees.....using this therapy helped build up his leg muscles without putting extra stress on his injured knees.
I think they intend to flood the glass cube, forcing the cat to sink or swim........
