FHO + 2 weeks

I think in my previous post, I ended with our good news of her walking stretch.... She ended up having about 3 of those, then back to holding it up and not even toe touching. Now she has slowly increased to toe touching and kinda bunny hopping with both back legs and the left one just touching.

Yesterday we had our first rehab appointment and she is a little behind. They had her work a bit on the land treadmill forwards and backwards - she's not a fan of backwards. We also worked on some adversion techniques (shoe, cap on the good foot), crawling, stretches, range of motion exercises while applying pressure to the thigh bone ends, and laser treatment.

The adversion techniques were pretty unsuccessful, it seems she's really determined that she doesn't really need to use that leg :-(... but we'll keep trying to see what is her thing. She does seem to do a little better with distractions, so we're seeking out squirrels, birds, and dogs for our rehab walks.

We go again on Tuesday - so we'll work on stretching, ROM, and trying to find ways to get her to use her leg.

I'll try to add a video this weekend.

Here's a video from this past Tuesday: Day 11

Fingers crossed!
