It's hard to believe it has been six weeks since Bo's second TPLO surgery.He's doing very well, recovery from the second has been faster and easier than his first surgery in October. We're now walking about a 1/2 mile, 3 - 4 times each day.
This morning, we went up a moderate hill; his first since early December.
Last week we trotted once each day. This week, we will alternate hill work with trotting every other day, and slowly increase distance to one mile by the end of next week. By his eight week anniversary, when he gets his X-ray to ensure the bone has healed properly from the osteotomy, we hope to get the green light to ramp him up to normal activity (again).
Saturday, he had his first bath since September - we're all happy about that!
His first CCL rupture occurred 130 days ago (Sept. 25th).
The Vernal Equinox (March 20th, 2010) will be the weekend after his 12 week anniversary, and 178 days since his first CCL injury. We're hoping he will be running again by then!
