Thursday

Last night, Kane finally walked to the hallway where he normally sleeps at night.  This morning, he stayed there while I used the bathroom and afterwards, he walked over to his mat near the couch (next to the coffee table).  I gave Kane some water and then left for work.

I was able to leave work earlier as we had an office lunch.  When I returned home, Kane had moved to just inside the front door.  Good dog.

Later in the afternoon, Martin came over to visit (he used to live in the house behind our yard) and Kane stood up to greet him and was even going to go out the front door.  It was good to see Kane acting like his old self.

It was just a quick visit and we sat out on the deck.  Kane also went down the deck steps to go and do a wee.  I did help him with the last step, to reduce the impact on his hip joints.  Then Kane came back up by himself.  Good dog.

Later, when Martin was leaving, Kane even got up from the deck to see him out the front door.

This evening, Kane ate his dinner faster as usual.  It was 250g raw kangaroo mince with some cooked brown rice mixed into it, followed by a cup of dry food. Afterwards, Kane went to do another wee but when he climbed back up the deck steps, he stumbled and fell back, so I carried him up.  Poor puppy.

It's good to see Kane up and walking around again.  The stronger medication must be more effective.  Unfortunately, it is only providing him with relief and his joints aren't actually regaining condition.
