Nathan is doing well at 3 weeks. He can walk unassisted on a short walk but he is very wobbly. So, on our longer walks, we are using his sling. He requires almost no support from it, but just enough to keep him steady. His legs have the strength, they just don't have the coordination yet.
We are looking for signs of potential increased improvement from where he was prior to this 2nd surgery. One small, but interesting sign, is he does not appear to be scuffing up the top of his feet by his toenails. We had been limiting the walking on cement and had been doing our long walks on the park trail where there is dirt instead of cement to decrease the scuffing on his feet. But, I'm not seeing that now as we have been doing a bit of street walking. I'm hoping that is a sign that we will have some additional improvement from where we were. Not sure what to think on the potty control front. Some days, I think its better. I see more pee pees. But, no clear signs there.
We are going have to work on the scooting around the house habit, again. Maybe he's just trying to get me to play the chase the food kibble game around the house!
Just keep working at it, Nathan!
