Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Please help with ideas! I have a 3-year-old neutered Boston Terrier that has had 4 MPL surgeries on the same back left leg, with the last surgery being in August 2007. Since then, he is totally 3-legging it and muscle mass measurements are Back Right = 26.5cm and Back Left = 17.5cm. He will occationally run on it and found that he will lightly use it in the sand at the playground. He does have delayed proprioception/apparent nerve damage to that leg. I've been doing leg weights on affected leg, water treadmill, laser, massage, stretching, home exercises (sit-to-stands, dancing, etc.),and even tried an ehmer sling while on the treadmill today, and he will still not use it. We've been working with him since May and have pretty much seen no change in usage. Any ideas would be great! Or, is he a lost cause??? Thank you!! - , RVT, CCRA (pending) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
