I wrote to Lesa telling her about the laser. Checked back after midnight and there she was on VetTv talking about laser procedures on dogs and cats. Actually showing videos of treatment and pet parents telling of how well their dog has responded to laser treatment. It's a great site : http://vettv.net This was a good weekend for Ob. He ate like a horse, went to the 150 acre dog park (on a harness and leash) twice each day and did not exhibit any signs of pain.
One big problem , the one that led me to seek help, is the problem of descending stairs. Sunday afternoon I took him to the golf course. At one end is a pavilion on a hill where folks can have picnics. It can be accessed by 20 concrete stairs or by going around, through the woods etc. We went around. Played in the little stream, then I let Ob to the top of the stairs not breaking stride. He didn't hesitate to go down. So.... why isn't he able to go down the stairs inside the house? The problem must be more psychological than physical.
Also all through this "event" I've been closely watching "how" Ob gets in and out of the car. There barely is a back seat. I disengage the passenger seatbelt and move the seat way forward. The first several trips to South Glastonbury he appeared to trip over his own legs getting in. He also appears to not be able to get into a comfortable position. He sits rather like a person front legs on the floor butt on the seat sideways. First several trips he fell getting out of the car. Sunday's park excursions Ob had no car issues. In and out like a pro.
