I was at the Healthy pets vet clinic today and saw this adorable boy "Buddy". "Buddy" had hip surgery 5 weeks ago now, on his left hind leg and has come in to see me for some physio work /rehab. He has not been using his leg very well and now we are working on getting his body to realise his left leg is there and it works. His right hind leg stands in the middle of his body to balance himself.
When buddy came in he was quite stressed and worried about me touching him. By the time he left ,he was much happier, taking treats from me and starting to place his foot on the ground. The blue tape you see on his legs is to assist in proprioception, so getting his brain to start to be aware of his feet. I will see him again weekly for a few weeks to get him started and then it will taper off a bit as he progresses.
