Amber is doing very well at this point. I can tell that her leg still bothers her though after getting up from sleeping. She is slow to get up. Once she is up she does great. At this point I'm still not allowing any jumping or playing. We are up to about two 25 minute walks each day which she does well at. She goes outside now without a leash for potty breaks. She is using her leg more and more and during our walks there is hardly any limp at all. She will still 3 legg it though once in a while if she trys to hurry up while walking. She was outside the other day and I called her and she ran to me and ran up the steps using all four leggs. My heart went to my stomach but she did fine and looked at me like "what?" I am going to start doing some muscle building excercises with her next week.(see exercise post) I am NOT going to allow her to jump any time soon. Our vet did not really give me a timeline on that but I want to be sure she is totally healed before allowing that kind of activity. Also no playing fetch this summer at all. There will be plenty of time next summer for that when I think I'll feel more comfortable with heavy running and jumping.
