Physical Therapy Assessment

Today was the day for Guinness's physical therapy assessment! And it included a first hydrotherapy session! What fun!!! He was SO excited!!!

The therapist thinks that his leg/knee is coming along very well for two weeks post surgery. Even though I have not been successful in exercising his leg myself, she says that his exuberance is giving it good exercise. Nevertheless, we do need to curb the exuberance so that he does not injure the good done by the surgery.

This was his first experience of swimming. He took to it like a duck to water. ha!


The hour ended with a bath. ahhhh....

Since swimming gave him a lot of exercise, the therapist said that his leg will be sore and that we need to get a pain med for him. It was 11:30, and our vet's office closes at noon. So I called them, paid by credit card over the phone, and asked them to please leave it outside their door for us, which they did.
