WEll see what the specialist says. And I do know about limiting activity; I had to have Magic in a crate for 8 weeks. He was so depressed, and he lost so much muscle.
What worked for us was car rides! He love going for a ride, even if we didn't have a walk at the end of the ride. He was out of his crate at home, and in a crate in the car; but at least he got some air blowing in his face, and a different environment. I also have a ramp for our van, that I make him use, to enter and exit the car. Although with your Bailey you could probably pick him up I guess?
Does Bailey like massage? That is helpful too. Just gentle touch, it is soothing.
Also some energy work can be very relaxing as well. You can start with your dog relaxing on the floor. Gently place your hand over their sacrum(the bone between their two buttocks), and other hand at the nape of their neck. Hold until you feel a lovely warmth develop, then remove your hands, about two inches away from body, and stroke from head to tail. You are literally just stroking the air right above their body.
I'll keep my fingers crossed until we find out what the specialist has to say.
Hugs to you and kisses to Bailey -
