First hydrotherapy session. He wasn't at all keen as lurches are not natural water dogs 🏊.
WOW! Thanks so much for sharing these incredible pictures. Craig is a very handsome boy!
And a very long legged boy too!!
He HAS to feel better having that bum leg gone! Poor guy, one big owweee after another. This is definitely a case where he will feel so much better once recovery is complete and he has no more pain.
I really think the water therapy will help in the long run.
Thanks for the update...a d thank you for giving this wonderful dog a loving forever home!
Love to all!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
OK I am TOTALLY in love with Craig! Thank you for sharing these photos, they really do show what great pawgress he's made. Can't wait to see more.
(Those external fixators would have freaked me out too!)

From what I can see from his avatar picture, he looks like a really cool looking dog. Love the name Craig... Did he arrive with it? Just wondering as I have one named Daryl, a Lab, not a Lurcher. People laugh at his name. Hey, he came with the name, what can U do. I am glad to hear he is doing so well. Pictures please, we love pictures here. Lori, Ty & gang
Hi 4myty, yes he did come with the name as Hope Rescue had named him - no idea what his name was before he was in the pound though. I could have changed it once I adopted him but he responds well to the name and I've got used to it as well - I love the response it gets from everyone!
Thanks all for the welcome, much appreciated. Today we have been for an appointment with a canine physiotherapist so I have exercises for Craig and some massage tips and I'm sure you'll be pleased to know she recommended your website as a source of good information! We have nothing like it in the UK - or if we do I haven't found it yet.
Thought you you might like to see a picture of Craig modelling a doggy jumper at one of the Hope Rescue street collections recently. I think I should have bought it for him, the colours look lovely on him!
Craig looks so great in that jumper! Adorable outfit!
Tell your therapist we really appreciate the referral, what a compliment. Tripawds has members from all over the world, we love learning about the Tripawds life in other parts of the globe. We would love to see what kind of exercises are prescribed and how you do them, physio is so great for Tripawds. Was that your first appointment?
