Nysse had his post-op physio appointment today. Everything is looking good and healing well. Which unfortunately doesn’t mean that his cage rest will be any shorter than the 6 weeks originally estimated – just that it probably won’t be any longer. I’m not sure which one of us is more frustrated with the forced confinement by now. At least we’re done with the medication schedule, which makes life simpler.

We got a list of exercises to do with him daily – stretching, walking over low obstacles, walking on soft surfaces, standing on unstable surfaces, etc. He’s been getting more and more snappish towards me, so we’ll see how much of that we can make happen.

In positive news, he’s approved for (controlled!) leash walks and (controlled!) climbing up and down low, stable surfaces with good grip, as long as there is no jumping or pouncing, and especially no jumping down from anywhere.
