Gross! Gross Bear!!!

Keep posting things that are 100% sugar. That stuff does not make your
teeth just ache??? I'd prefer chewing aluminum foil.

My beastie was a very good girl at the vet/PT. She was friendly and cuddly and allowed poking and stretching without complaint.

She is, other than her bad knee and some stiffness in her hips, in very good shape. The vet/PT agrees with non-surgical management. She also said that the braces don’t add that much (at least in our case) , so we don’t have to get a brace.

The basic plan is no running and no jumping. Which means that I either make the couches and bed inaccessible or that I make it so she gets up and down without jumping. The couch is gonna be tough, but the rest is really reasonable.

Her treatment plan includes walking a total of ~ 45 min/day in several increments, going up and down stairs and hills, and stepping over low obstacles (all while on a leash) . Even making her sit down and stand up is good. The idea is to make her use her leg in a controlled fashion so as to build up the scar tissue in the right way, make sure she doesn’t lose muscle mass, and so that she doesn’t rely only on the other leg and hurt it too.

I can set her up to get laser therapy to assist healing too- it’s not horribly expensive, so I may go for it. But other than that she can go back for reevaluation in 4-6 weeks.

Good news, CES. Puggers had laser therapy, too. I think it helped. She seemed to enjoy the treatments. The treatment plan sounds very good. Thorough. I took the cusions off the couch, and she laid on them. As she got better, she used them as a step to get on the couch, where I had to put a thick quilt to make her comfy. She wasn't spoiled, at all , but she was worth every thing we could do for her. I miss her every minute of every day.
