| Layla's second hydrotherapy adventure! Lately I have been noticing that Layla is picking up her back right leg more often that normal and she has stage 2 LP in it. I remembered reading Kim (simonandhallie) posting about hydrotherapy for Simon's knee so with her help and suggestions this was our second attempt at hydrotherapy. Layla is wearing the life jacket so that i have something to hold on to and the water isn't deep enough in the tub, so next time we have a few adjustments to make! |

Therapy Dog Donating Member | What a great idea and Layla looks adorable in her life jacket...I like that idea even for those Yorkies who just need some exercise and don't have a pool or hot tub to do it in!

| lol she tolerates it. If i want to REALLY get her paddling i point her in the direction of the side of the tub and she swims like crazy thinking that if she just swims hard enough she'll be able to reach the edge and get out... horrible i know... but i have a hard time getting her to use her back legs... she just uses the front ones they'll have big muscles and her back ones will still be chicken legs |
