Seymour started his physical therapy this past Thursday. His therapist made measurements of his knee and also of his degree of motion. The knee that he had surgery on has about 10% less motion range than the other one. That will change as we slowly make progress and he is able to more strengthing exercises. Of course, it has only been a little over 4 weeks and we don't want to over do. (Shelby still had casts on at 4 weeks). He also enjoyed a laser treatment. He really seemed to like it...... Actually he laid down! :) He is going to be taking a 1/4 tab of "Zeel" which is a homeopathic supplement for joints everyday (once a day) between meals. He has another appointment next week for further therapy! He is on his way to a slow but steady recovery! |
I'm glad to hear that Seymour is on the road to recovery! |
So glad Seymour is doing well. Bet he is even enjoying camping! ;) |

The AC is definitely a MUST! Our three little monkeys haven't had too much outdoor time lately.. it has been very close to 100 degrees for many days now..... they go outside for a little pool time and also "dunking for ice cubes" (Seeger's favorite) but after 10 - 15 minutes I bring them back in. I can't imagine any animal being outside in this heat. |
They are so cute, tell them I'd love to join them dunking for ice cubes if I lived close.:D 95 here but they say 80's for next week:thumbup:, It will feel like Alaska we have been 100 for so long. Have fun! |
Just checking in to find out about Seymour's progress... |
More about Seymour's recovery! Seymour had a PT session while we were camping 10 days ago. His therapist came to the campground and they both enjoyed the atmosphere while working! He received laser therapy on both back legs and also on his left front shoulder.... with the surgery being on his left leg, sometimes he will put more weight on his front to compensate so this is done for a little extra "feel good" treatment. :aimeeyork He laid in the lounge chair while his therapist sat in a blanket and did the treatment.... he really enjoyed it so much!!! :dogzzz: His leg is starting to strengthen very well..... no limping or compensating for it. :animal37 We also are doing a series of "sit/stands" watching to see if he uses his legs and not surging forward when going from sit to stand.....he is doing it without putting weight to his front shoulder.... YAY!!! that means the muscles are getting the workout that they need! We do 5 sit/stands a day, 2 times a day. He is still taking 1/4 tab of Zeel a day. (and we give it to Shelby, also). They think it is a treat, so Seeger has to have one of his itty bitty treats when it is time for Zeel. :D We are scheduled for another PT session this coming Tuesday.... which I really think it making a huge difference in his recovery. Thanks for all the encouragment and good wishes for Seymour!!! It is so much appreciated!!! :ghug: |
