It was explained to me that the best course of action would be the water treadmill for him. He got harnessed up, then walked through the open treadmill a couple of times. Then he got locked in. He was fine with it all.
It was then switched on, which made him panic a little, but he quickly recovered and started walking fine. Then the water was added.
He was obviously a bit stressed, but did a lot better than I thought he would. And towards the end, he visibly relaxed looking around every so often whilst walking.
The hydrotherapist (Gemma) said that his recovery was going really well as he is hardly limping at all now. She also said that he didn't look like a 9-year old, which was nice of course.
So far, Dylan isn't showing any sign of lameness etc yet at all, so I am hoping that it remains that way. He is doing so well.
