It's been 2 amazing months since Baden had his left front leg removed due to cancer. The 1st month he couldn't get back to normal quick enough. By 3 weeks he was outside catching frisbees. While he's able & willing to run across the yard, standing in place or walking seems to show weakness. He can be standing next to you & just fall down. I am looking for some strengthening & conditioning exercises I can with him. Any & all suggestions are much appreciated.

Wow - sounds like Baden is doing great. (He's so cute!)
Running is definitely easier for a front leg amp than walking.
I know there are some links here on the site for rehab exercises to build up core strength - I just don't know where they are. I'm sure Jerry or Admin will chime in at some point and provide them.
Swimming is also good exercise for Tripawds - although ours didn't ever like to swim, so unfortunately we couldn't take advantage of that!
