Hello, I thought I shared a video I made on Bowie's Muscles Strengthening Exercises that have been prescribed by our vet and qualified rehab technician as part of his rehabilitation after injuring his cruciate ligament. A bit of background: Bowie was diagnosed with Cranial Cruciate Ligament on his back right leg about 4 months ago. The vet performed a neddle-arthroscopy to confirm the grade of his injury, and fortunately the tear was less than 20% which meant that Bowie didn't need to have surgery and it could be saved with regenerative medicine and rehabilitation. Read more here. Bowie's doing very well now (back on his 4 legs!!) and we're now at the final stage of rehabilitation - doing physical/motion exercises such as cavaletti rails and weaving poles. Has anyone had similar stories/injuries like Bowie?
Thank you for posting this , I am so pleased that he is doing well ! My own small dog has a fairly low grade luxating patella and has similar exercises to do including a sit to stand , good lad Bowie x
At first it took my husband and I (armed with treats ) to hold one leg each to get Bowie used to the position and we also started slowly, only a few seconds at a time
