Starting to play!

So after two weeks of therapy Gio is still doing quite well.  He seems to be using his leg more frequently and when he isn't using it, he doesn't carry it as high as he used to!  And we are fairly certain he has gained some weight!  He has had three sessions of rehab therapy and in the most recent session he did 10 minutes on the underwater treadmill and followed that up with 2 minutes of swimming.  Hopefully this week the big pool will be filled and he can take a real swim. 

With only two sessions remaining, another anonymous donor stepped up and purchased 5 more sessions for him!  Hopefully this will be enough to get him to a point where he is comfortable using all four legs regularly!

Today Gio enjoyed some free time outside in the leaves.  We could definitely tell he is starting to feel better, even if he still doesn't use his leg all the time.  He was running around with little branches and chasing leaves as they blew.  It was his first time in the yard without being on a leash and he seemed to enjoy it thoroughly.
