Where is Chocolate’s yellow ball?
Feb. 13, 2008
You may be wondering, “Where is Chocolate’s yellow ball?”
Chocolate
has to wear what’s called an “Elizabethan collar” designed to keep him from
biting at his stitches. Unfortunately, this prevents him from easily being
able to reach his yellow ball, causing plenty of frustration.
WSU’s veterinary students have been spending extra time with him. They
remove the collar during some light play with the yellow ball, but have to
replace the collar and put away his yellow ball when he needs his quiet time
to heal.
Chocolate has spent most of his day resting.
Veterinary students have spent time working on the range of motion of
Chocolate’s left leg. Range of motion is how far the joints can be flexed
and extended.
His progress is moving along very well. In fact, he may have the bandage
removed from his right leg tomorrow.
Our certified veterinary rehabilitation expert believes Chocolate may
even be able to start his first treatments by tomorrow afternoon!
