2 Months After Double Knee Surgery: Swimming & Running!!!

Dexi continues to do VERY well!  She seems like a different dog...much happier and much more playful than before her surgery!!!







The only thing that we have noticed is that if she uses the stairs too often, she becomes a little slow or has to take a break to rest half way.  Other than that, there have been no issues!

We continue to increase the frequency and duration of her activity.  Lately, we have been taking her on lots of walks and letting her swim in the river with her sister.  Videos below...

Double Knee Surgery: Healing Ahead of Schedule!!!

Dexi has been doing amazing!  We have not noticed any problems at all in her healing.

On Monday, Dexi had her 6 week check up, which included x-rays.  The surgeon had great news for us: Dexi is healing ahead of schedule.  At only 6 weeks post-op, the bones in both legs have already grown back together!  Now, we will continue to gradually increase her activity. 




                                                  Happy to be healing quickly!
