IVDD & Daphne, Day 23: Weight Shifting

Daphne is doing well. Her gait looks almost normal now and she is no longer having urinary accidents. She is increasgingly energetic, restless, and bored. Ever since her surgery I have been doing a weight shifting exercise with her to help improve her balance and strengthen her hind limbs. She’s actually recently moved onto a more advanced version! I want to post a video of this basic one, though. This is a nice safe, gentle exercise that can help with the recovery from many different injuries and surgeries, including cranial cruciate rupture surgery and luxating patella surgery as well as back surgery.
