I had another post-op check-up with my veterinary surgeon Russ Gurevitch, DVM (Veterinary Referral Surgical Services in Petaluma, California).

 

I'm so happy that Dr. Gurevitch says he sees progress. He was pleased at how I could run along pretty steadily as he watched me outside the clinic. Dr. G told my dog-ma that I'll get even better.

 

My back muscles and legs are definitely stronger. I can play with the ball and roll around in the dirt. But I tire quickly. Well, whaddya expect after a vertebral spine hemilaminectomy and multiple disc fenestration?

 

Dog-ma sez I look and act like my old self, except that I'm faking the finer points of back leg coordination. That's why I skid around corners and, though I hate to admit it, I kinda fall over easily. But I get back right up!

 

I probably have only one more follow-up visit with Dr. Gurevitch. I'll keep you posted.
