Chocolate's weekly report Feb 29, 2008
It’s
Friday, and Chocolate continues his rehabilitation daily regime. He has
built up his time in the underwater treadmill to five minutes a day. He is
also undergoing joint flexing and extension exercises, while taking short
walks.
Chocolate occasionally uses a splint on his left leg to help him get used
to placing his foot into a more normal position. We’ve also started using
rubber booties to give him better traction when he walks, and to protect a
small sore that has developed on one of his paw pads. Remember, this is the
leg that he rarely used before he came to WSU.
The good news is Chocolate’s attitude continues to get better with each
day, as he learns to trust again.
