We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.
He's doing pretty well- going for his 3rd water therapy session tomorrow. I really think the combination of warm water, massage, and slow movement through the bouyant water is having a positive effect.
It's going to take a long time to heal, but as long as I see improvement in my boy, even a little bit, I'm good.
And he has charmed all the physical therapists at the water place-- he has that effect on the girls, LOL.
Yup, that is similar to what our primary vet said. One of the folks who used to work for me was/is a vet (and now a human doc). I spoke with her and she was a bit more in favor of the brace in order to prevent the *other* knee from being injured. (later confirmed as a possibility by #1 vet) As it turns out, he only sprained it. But, I have the brace just in case.
BTW, how did Mateo injure his knee? Our dog, Jughead was, uh, getting amorous with Veronica and had a mis-step.
So glad to hear that the handsome boy is showing progress. It does take time and it will feel like an eternity then all of a sudden Mateo will be as good as new!

Thanks, ab! It helps tremendously to have your support...especially, you know, when I have my dark moments and I need a proper reality check drummed into my feeble brain....

spear, it wasn't really a "one-time" thing; it came on gradually. First he started slowing down on walks (I thought it was the warm weather), then a slight gimpy walk every now and then, and then a limp when he woke up (but would soon go away), then more of a limp more often...and so on. Finally got it checked and 2 vets concluded that it was a tear (one said partial, one said full.)
So here we are. And hoping for the best possible recovery without surgery, which I do not want to put him through...
I'm really pleased to hear and see Mateo is responding well to his treatments, he looks so happy and I'm sure hes charming the pants off all the girls hes absolutely gorgeous I love seeing his pictures hes always so photogenic I just wanna kiss his squishy face (said in a squishy voice) LOL
