The physical therapy for this time around is a lot less! She is two weeks of just crate rest with times to go out to the bathroom and walk a little. Then at the two week mark she can get her staples out and has 2 weeks of leash walk only around the house. If she looks foot after that, then restrictions are lifted! (So around 4 weeks total).

I am very happy with how she is progressing! She seems like her normal self! I am hoping this continues and she gets stronger everyday. I want her to be able to build up muscle again in her back leg, seeing as it got very wasted from not using it
