Monday we start PT. She helped our collie who tore her CCL three years ago. She says that knee surgery is very delicate and risky. She uses magnetic, laser, water therapies plus massage. She writes out a daily schedule with illustrations for each day. It's expensive but I think necessary because I don't know how to do passive flex ion or extension exercises. Think Max is really Maxillion. The therapy sessions are three times a week.
He is sleeping with no crying next to me. That's worth a lot! We have a great stroller for next week or ...... I hope Max would have chosen this if he could understand and communicate. The surgical consent agreement states that the procedure sometimes has to be repeated. Is that common? I sure hope not!

That is strange that it said that. The only time I have ever heard that they had to redo them was when a non board surtified orthopedic surgeon did them. With Callie we only did physical therapy once a week and had exercises to do at home. I would be very careful doing it three times a week that seems a bit much.
