9 weeks post TPLO - and hydrotherapy booked

Dylan is doing really well and we are starting our 10th week of rehab now. We are still doing 2 walks of about 30 minutes, the morning walk including 10 minutes stair walking (30 flights of stairs) and the evening walk including one round of gentle jogging on the green. I have also started an exercise where Dylan puts his front feet on the park bench and then walks along it on his hind feet slowly. This way he has to put full weight on the leg and he is doing it very well.
We are also still doing the sit/stand exercise (20 repetitions) and some curb walking.

I have booked the first hydrotherapy session this Saturday afternoon. We'll see how it goes. I must remember to bring the camera along.

Three more weeks now and then I'll switch Dylan to one 1-hour walk a day to the country park; I can then include hill walking too.

He is doing so well, no tiredness after the stairs/trotting, lots of energy, he's looking well and feeling well!
