Cowboy in rehab (video update)

[Gabrielle_AnimalLuver]

Yeah, I didn't wana jinx it by mentioning anything, but, it's been a while now that Cowboy has shown some very noticeable improvement. He had a really bad flare up with his arthritis almost two months ago and it took over a month to get him to stop limping. I ended up adding GLM powder to his supplements and upped his dose of adequan to every week. Also I've been really trying to get him a walk around the block every day and do his exercises every second day. Some days that involves guilt tripping my mother all morning.

We're also doing UWTM once a week. What's cool about that is that since Im doing my stage there, I get to hop in the tank with him. Got my parents to bring him in for his appointment so he wouldn't have to stay in the kennel at all and Dad sort of filmed it. Well, he filmed the tank filling up and only a few seconds of him exercising lol, but here he is.

So now it's a matter of slowly conditioning and working up to letting him run again. Which is almost impossible cause my brother just won't accept anything I tell him and throws the ball for him in the back yard. Essentially risking undoing everything I'm spending ALL my money on. burning_eyes

Ya, he actually drank prior, and I'm trying NOT to let him by feeding him liver till he's moving too much to do so, cause it is chlorinated after all. Once the speed goes up you can tell he gets super focused. And yes, it seems to help a GREAT deal me being in there with him. He's less stressed out for sure. He's so great at it now, he just goes right in the tank and waits for me.

Aaah! You guys are soooo cute in that video. I bet it helps Cowboy some to have his Mommy be the one doing the therapy now instead of a strange doctor.

And yeah, Akari, is on my FB friend's list, since we lived in FL semi-close by and trusted each other with our personal info when she sent me fish 0.0
