His leg was actually bowed from everything so surgery was necessary. He tends to start walking sideways after awhile, lol. The vet just showed me how badly underdeveloped his muscles are in that leg that had surgery. So we will be doing water therapy as soon as the hot tub gets filled up. She also recommended a sit and get up exercise, sort of like knee bends...it's just a matter of getting him to learn that one. But overall, his prognosis is very, very good. | Now, that IS good news. Just what I was hoping to hear!
