UPDATE

We had a great follow up visit last Friday at the MU Vet Clinic. They are very impressed with his progress. He’s had 4/10 PT visits and does water tank treadmill exercises.

We just came back from a walk and he does well but still stumbles sometimes.

Yesterday while I was doing yard work, instead of helping me, he took a little siesta:



Things are looking up!

So glad to hear he's doing well. Looks like he's catching some rays with that belly!

I am so glad he's doing better. We love dogs here at our house (cats not so much-though we had a good one a few years ago).

That looks like a picture of a dog well on the road to recovery. Good deal

h2oys, that's awesome!

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

How about an Ollie update. Your last post indicated he was doing well with his therapy and recovery; has his improvement continued?

Hope he’s doing well…

Thanks for asking.

Ollie is doing very well. His rear legs are regaining muscle mass and his front legs are a little further behind.

We paid for a 10 visit PT package and he’s been 8 times so far. He does 30 minutes of walking in the tread mill water tank and then 10 minutes on the sloped “dry” treadmill.

Around the house he does great in the grass and on concrete he tends to drag his nails on the forward stroke.

I wish I knew how to post a video to share.

Regardless he’s getting much better given the fact presurgery he completely lost the use of all 4 legs!!! Smile

How is Ollie doing? It’s been about a month since he has checked in. Smile

^^^thanks for asking.

Ollie is doing well and it’s hard to believe he couldn’t use any of his 4 legs.

He’s about 90% recovered. It could take another 10 months to recapture the last 10% or he’s already plateaued.

Either way he’s back to his happy go lucky self!

That's great news! It's been a long three months for him and for you as well. I'm glad he's feeling better and hope he continues to improve.
