Update

So it's been 10 days--how's he doing? Well, better and not better, I suppose. :-)

His range of motion seems to be getting better--he is tolerating the stretches much longer, which is good. His left side is getting stronger too, as he can balance for a while on it! The right side, not so much, unless it's directly underneath him. We do a lot of the "sit" then "stand" exercise. And we also try to make him walk backwards quite a bit. I think he's starting to improve. But I'm also an eternal extreme optimist, so take that with a grain of salt!!

The only problem we've had? He's developed some diarrhea. Bleck. For the first time since he was a three-month old puppy, he had an accident on the floor. Well, multiple accidents. Poor guy. He's rounded the corner, now, but that was tough on his body. And because he wasn't eating, we couldn't medicate him yesterday either. That means he had a tummyache and sore legs. Yesterday was a bad day.

But this morning is a new day, and we're off. He's eating better (still exhausted from yesterday's trials), and we'll be back to our regimin in full force. We go back to the physical therapist in 2 weeks and his 11 month "birthday" is on Wednesday. Can't believe my baby is getting so old. :-)
