Dylan is now starting week 9 post TPLO. He is doing so well and is now allowed out of the kitchen when I am around to watch him too. He loves that and really missed my company and the company of his three brothers.
He is now on 2 walks of 30 minutes. In the morning walk I include some figure of 8 walking and stair walking for 7 minutes (25 flights of stairs) as well as curb walking. In the evening walk I include a short gentle jog (around 2 minutes I would think, have never timed it - it's 4 diagonal length of the green) and curb walking.
I do 20 sit/stand repetitions at home and we are due to start swimming/water treadmill work soon. I have also taught him to put his front feet on a chair for a little while which helps him strengthen his back leg and can also be used to do a gentle stretch (it's very controlled, no jumping or jerky movements).
I am really pleased how he is progressing. He is such a star.
