Ellie Update 3

Well.....Ellie is now out very short, slow walks roughly 10mins over the past week. She seems to have settled down a bit, I am just hoping she is now turning a corner. Trying to keep her from playing is still very hard, she will bring over her ball, then go and get another toy and another and another, look down and there is about 6 at my feet, wee soul just doesn't give and I feel oh so guilty.

I decided to take her for Hydro/Physio to see how she gets on. Her first session was tonight, she did very well, didn't seem to phase her one bit! Just need to see how the stifle reacts over the next couple of days as that is the most exercision it has had since the accident happend a month ago. If all is well we are back on Thursday for another session.

Quite funny as when she was let go to swim on her own she made her way towards me LOL!

  1. Ellie seems doing very well in the pool and it seems she enjoys it too. I think it's a wise decision for Ellie to try out the hydro therapy and I believe it will help her a lot.
    When the vet told us that Mika might not be able to walk normally after his second surgery, we made him swim everyday and we gradually extended the time. It took him a long time but it was worth it.

  2. Hope Ellie continues to get better. She is a good swimmer. You can see how fast she's moving her little legs in the video! Has she ever been swimming before? I always wondered about the benefits of hydro therapy. I look forward to see how it works for Ellie. Sending love and health her way! :)

  3. Swimming is probably very good for her. Exercise with no weight on her legs.
