Little Saskia-Elsy almost at 8 weeks post Femoral head and neck Ostectomy.
I will not lie to you all, it is hard to stay steady and controlling everything she does and not allow to much activity especially being so busy. Admittedly, I did give her too much freedom a few days ago, and she was super naughty and played hard when I was distracted with managing new born lambs.
So, we have gone back to week 2 therapy, walks alone, crate rest, Red-light and NIR therapy, I am still trying to get her accustomed to the PEMF pad, she doesn't like the feel of the material 🙄 "hurts her feelings" 😅
On the subject of hurt feelings, we have been unable to do the PROM (passive range of motion) exercises, which is really disappointing as it is an extremely important part to her therapy. Her feelings get deeply hurt and she cries, before I've even done anything, just put my hand on her with intent. 99% of dogs don't have such delicate feelings, so she is extremely difficult.
We (Saskia-Elsy, Ivy-May and I) have also all started Hyaluronic acid serum, this is 4 doses over 48 hrs each. It has very positive studies, so I wanted to try it out!
So hopefully this adds to the recovery process too
