| Shelby went to PT again yesterday...... and everything went well. There is one of the cutest little bulldogs that is at the rehab center. I will have to tell you all about her sometme. ANYWAY, I think that Shelby has been getting too many "out of the crate breaks". She is not getting worse or anything like that.... but I think that I can do better and not be so generous with potty break time and familyroom time. The PT suggested 3-5 minutes of leash time / walk time 3 or 4 times a day....... and Shelby has been getting 10-15 minutes 4 times a day. I know...... naughty Mommy!! I just hate keeping her caged up so much...... especially when we are all being mobile AND going in and out from the patio because it has been so nice out. (I did take her crate out to the patio for awhile yesterday.... and she liked it, but because we were doing yard work and etc. we couldn't sit there with her the whole time ) Anyway, looking forward to wonderful Sunday..... the weather is suppose to be pretty here!!! YAY!!! (Maybe Shelby and Seymour will get some more patio time today!)

| At the time, there is a schedule for her for a month ...... then we will proceed to the next step of physical therapy ...... strengthening. Hopefully all goes well and I am thinking it will take about 3 months twice a week...maybe more.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I'm just seeing this thread now. Sorry to hear that Shelby has a partial tear but it sounds like she is doing well with the physically therapy work. Keep it up Shelby!

| Update on Shelby Shelby is still going to Physical therapy 2x a week. She LOVES the therapist and also all the healing treatments. We did have a small setback over the weekend. The joint supplement that we were giving her didn't agree with her and she ended up with an upset stomach. After a trip to the vet, some pepto and LOTS of rest, she is doing MUCH better now. Of course, we are going to try another supplement with LESS fish oil. Our vet thinks that she may have had too much fish oil (her food also has it in it, so maybe no need in the supplement). Hopefully we will have a few more weeks of PT and then we can start the hydro-therapy & eventually some "free swimming" once we feel that she is healed enough to consider strengthening......... I think that we are on the right track.... hopefully she will continue to behave herself!! ........ she is really wanting to chase Seymour so badly! Looking forward to seeing so YT friends at a meet up Saturday..... it will be good for Shelby.... she has been so bored lately! (& Seymour, too)
