    Default Rusty's 2 month Update

    Hey Everyone! I just wanted to give you all who are not on Facebook an update.

    Its been 2 months since surgery and Rusty is doing wonderful! he had his 5th acupuncture appointment yesterday and he has his 5th rehab and hydrotherapy appointment this weekend. He went from dragging his back left leg to walking with it almost normal, he turns his foot in now. He is still quite wobbly and falls once in a while. I took him for his first walk since surgery yesterday. we made it 10 houses down and had to turn around because he was tired and panting (it wasn't even hot out) I have tons of wonderful videos but they are not easy for me to upload and get on here. They are all on his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/460101174134052/

    Here is a photo to show his muscle is returning and he is sitting proper. Before he wouldnt bend at the knees and sat with his legs straight out (which he kind of did before going down anyways) and now he sits more square (as the vet says) and his skin isnt loose in the rear anymore.

    Were quite happy
