I did not do any physical therapy on mine and he did remarkably well. My ortho surgeon does send pups to PT if he feels they need it. The only thing he suggested was very slow leash walking. That way the pups have a tendency to put the foot down. If they walk quickly, more apt to limp.
Oh thanks. That is a good tip.
