Thanks, everyone. Murphy had a very good session at therapy yesterday. He even fell asleep during the acupuncture treatment! Right now he is asleep next to me on the love-seat out on our patio. He had a tiny bit of help getting up here, but it was mostly of the encouragement type. He is moving much easier this morning.

His doctor thinks that a monthly session (or maybe sessions at three months later on) may be the thing to help him with his change in configuration. He does tend to shorten up his gait and this causes him to have more back problems than he would otherwise. We have been concentrating so much on the leg exercises that I am afraid we have been neglecting to do as many of the core strength ones as we should. I guess we will have a new routine now. Three days a week with core and three days a week with leg. Sundays off! We will cut back on the length of his walks for the next few days, but he will go on more short ones. With our predicted triple digit heat coming this week, those walks will be EARLY in the mornings.

We did get to watch an interesting video while we were at rehab. She had three videos of a kitty doing the underwater treadmill! There was also a video of the cat doing a little tiny Cavaletti course. She had badly compromised hind quarters. Not sure what caused the problem.
