A New Milestone!

It's been 8 weeks since Nubs had surgery to the day and today marks what I think is a HUGE milestone in his recovery.

Today Nubs stood on his leg that he has the CCL surgery done on and MARKED. Doesn't seem like much, but this is the first time he's done a FULL marking while standing on his bad leg without any weakness in it. Normally he only manages 5 seconds before that leg collapses, to day he got in a good 10 to 15 second mark before moving on. Not a sign of weakness at all.

He still doesn't have full range in that knee for bending, but the limping has really reduced over the past few weeks. I'm hoping that soon, we can start doing classes again. He's up to about 20mins of walk time without problem, but if I try to push it he'll return to limping.

Keep your fingers and paws crossed that he'll return to normal!
