Re: Cruciate operation diary

Week 7

This week has been huge ups and niggling worries.
Hydro sessions on Tuesday and Saturday went really well, Tuesday he managed 35 lengths, Saturday 50 lengths.
Recovery after Tuesdays was excellent and Wednesday he was sound so we increased his walks slightly.
On Thursday he seemed a little sore, so walk lengths were cut again.
We had a visitor on Thursday evening, making him over excited and doing far too much on his leg. In consequence Friday was a very worrying day as he was quite stiff and a little lame.
The joint is now looking a little more stable, but still the walking action doesn't seem right.
Muscle tone is now returning, and walks are generally 1/4 mile x 3 per day
Keeping him quiet is becoming increasingly difficult
