PT went as well as it could. Poor Riot is very tired. We're so hoping we can get him moving again. Czar is doing well. We're almost 3 weeks post amputation with him. 

Thank you, everyone. No worries. Family time is important!

No real PT changes. He's in a sling in the water treadmill now, as he can't self support. It seemed to work pretty well. We're doing several minutes of supported standing with him every couple of hours at home. He's also on some new supposedly helpful muscle and joint supplements. I haven't been given any reason that with some hard work, he won't regain some muscle mass. Once it starts to go, it goes quickly. Especially in a big senior with one rear leg. We meet with an orthopedist next week, to see if there are any support to help strengthen him back up.

Czar has been having some pain when he walks, so I've been trying to get him up more. He loved his walk yesterday, but even though we didn't go far at all, I think it took a bit of a toll.

He was never a huge swimmer, but he liked wading and sometimes bobbing around. He doesn't seem to mind the treadmill at all. Yes. The new normal is rough. Thankfully Czar is over 3 years younger, so I think he's taking the transition better. He may need some low dose pain meds until we can get his joints used to three legs.

Czar went for his almost run around the yard today. He was never very fast or graceful before losing a leg, so it's a work in progress. We're getting Riot fitted for a potential wheelchair on Saturday. He really wants to move, but with so much muscle loss, it's hard to get him supported standing for long. The goal is for him to eventually get out of it, at least for short trips to the yard. No side effects at all from the vaccine, so finger's crossed it's doing something. We go in for a booster on the 2nd.
