Clara's Three Week Follow-Up

Clara had her post-op visit today. The most difficult challenge over the last three weeks has been keeping her quiet. She has been getting around on her leg just fine, but if she gets excited and tries to jump around or canter on the leash when I take her outside, the limp usually comes back. The vet said everything looks good and I may now take her for short walks on the leash, starting with just up and down the street once and gradually increasing over the next two weeks. She still needs to remain on the leash (no running or rough housing with other dogs) for another 9 weeks. But, so far so good! She was super excited at the vet today since in the last 3 weeks she has not been out of the house/yard!
