I&#8217;m afraid that I&#8217;m not a visual person so it was hard for me to evaluate how the brace affected Tundra. Gwen is very visual and much better at assessing movement. She definitely feels that the brace addresses several problems that concerned her, and that overall it is helping stabilize his legs and spine. The one new problem that we&#8217;re seeing is that now he seems to be turning in excessively at his left hock joint. Not a fault of the brace, but just if there is weakness and instability and then you support one area, there seems bound to be some compensatory movement elsewhere. I will try wrapping his hock joint in an Ace wrap and see if that helps at all. Since we were not expecting the brace to return Tundra to marathon-running condition, I will be very happy if it can provide some support for his hind end and thus avoid (or at least delay) more serious problems. Gwen&#8217;s assessment was that the brace is doing exactly that. So I will continue putting the brace on for short periods of time and we&#8217;ll see how he is doing over the next few weeks (keeping a close eye on that hock joint). I am starting to get a sense of what causes him to sit suddenly. You are correct that it is not the pressure on his spine. It is a bit hard to explain but I think when his left leg starts to give out a bit (which I think happens when he gets it in a bad position), he cannot recover and work against the brace to straighten up so he just ends up sitting down suddenly. He also doesn&#8217;t seem able or willing (can&#8217;t yet tell which) to get into a standing position from a sit. I will also monitor this to see if over time he works out how to do this; in the meantime, I just help him stand.\\ So I&#8217;ll keep trying stuff and will write in a few weeks to let you know how he is adjusting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div class='avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap'><div class='avia-arrow'><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Thanks again, Yvette<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class ='avia-testimonial-row'><div class='avia-testimonial av-20n9yz-9a2bb17f16d58aa79aa981250dfbca44 avia-testimonial-row-4 avia-first-testimonial flex_column no_margin av_one_full'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Hi Molly, just wanted to let you know that Rex&#8217;s knee brace (July) is working out really well.

I was really happy with that.<br \/>\nHere is what I noticed:<br \/>\nJaimie does not run when she sees the braces in the morning but she does have a hard time standing long enough for me to wrestle them on. My problem not hers. With practice I will become faster and more accurate so I don\u2019t have to adjust them after they are on;<br \/>\nShe puts more weight on her badder (injured about a month ago as opposed to a 2 years ago) and her good leg is more to the outside of her body. Without the brace her gooder foot is centered under her body and takes 90% of her weight;<br \/>\nAlthough she is slow walking with them, she walks much better, with less limp. I don\u2019t have to carry her as much;<br \/>\nIf the braces are not correctly adjusted, she sits or flops down as soon as she can. Sometimes she waits until after her pee or what ever; and<br \/>\nShe can walk down a few stairs, but has learned to cheat when she is in a hurry and her more recently injured leg sticks way out to the side. It\u2019s funny to watch, but I don\u2019t like to encourage bad posture.<br \/>\n\u0007At bed time she comes and rounds me up. I remove her braces and give he a fast and furious massage, (cuz that\u2019s what I do for a living) with emphasis on her knees (stifles). I check for any chaffing but so far so good. I am quite happy with her progress so far and the vet said Jaimie is walking much better and doesn\u2019t seem to mind the braces at all.<br \/>\nCheck out Molly\u2019s URL.

He has totally adjusted to his brace. It really didn&#8217;t take long, Newfie&#8217;s are so easy going. He walks so much easier now, he even wants to run. We stop him, of course, but it&#8217;s good to know that he is able. He is back to being a happy dog and full of life. He has been eating again on a regular basis, something he didn&#8217;t do when he couldn&#8217;t stand long enough. I&#8217;m so grateful for the brace. We couldn&#8217;t have managed him without it. We are hoping that it speeds the healing process and he can one day get along without it, but in the meantime, at least he is fully functional and light on his feet!<br \/>\nThank you so much.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div class='avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap'><div class='avia-arrow'><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Andrea Brownsett<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class ='avia-testimonial-row'><div class='avia-testimonial av-rbjor-d610c6d020b8051aafa4086ec068e44e avia-testimonial-row-5 avia-first-testimonial flex_column no_margin av_one_full'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Dear Molly:<\/p>\n<p>Just a quick note to let you know that your brace has worked really well<br \/>\nfor Tess.

The collar was too high and tight putting pressure on her throat so she couldn&#8217;t put her head down and she had a hard time laying down or getting up. Now it is down on her chest instead and she can move more<br \/>\nfreely. She had it on all day yesterday from 8 a.m. until about 11:00 p.m.<br \/>\nlast night with no complaints or problems.

Quincy is a really mellow dog. He is our couch potato of the dogs. Alfie is the reaper. So inside the house I alternate having the brace on for a few hours then off. When we are outside he usually has it on&#8211;except for quick trips before bed and in the am. He is really doing well the majority of the time. He has started this past week on standing on the bad leg to urinate. before he was just standing on the surgical leg. We see the vet on thursday. I think I&#8217;ll continue what I&#8217;m doing with the brace on both legs, as it does help him. And I&#8217;d hate him to wreck his good leg. He hasn&#8217;t hunched up for at least a good 6 days. When his back does hunch it usually is only for that day. So I&#8217;ll keep my eye on it and see what the vet says.<br \/>\nThanks again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div class='avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap'><div class='avia-arrow'><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Kim<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class ='avia-testimonial-row'><div class='avia-testimonial av-a6owb-bb44bf532c4bddfdd245468394be5f2c avia-testimonial-row-8 avia-first-testimonial flex_column no_margin av_one_full'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Dear Molly:<\/p>\n<p>In November, my almost 13 year old Golden Retriever, Jazz ruptured his cruciate ligament rolling in the grass.\u00a0 This kind and gentle giant had been a Therapy Dog for a little over 10 years and was going to retire on November 28th.\u00a0 The hospital where he worked had planned a retirement tea for him (and me) and now it appeared that he would not be able to attend.<\/p>\n<p>My vet. explained the options for treatment to me.\u00a0 First was surgery, but at 12+ years he would be a risk for that and the long period of inactivity afterwards would be very difficult.\u00a0 The second was just to keep him as inactive as possible in his crate for about 6 weeks and hope that some scar tissue would form and he would be able to get in and out with help to go to the bathroom.\u00a0 For such and active, social dog, either option seemed very sad and I seriously considered having him euthanized.\u00a0&#8221; We could try putting him in knee braces,&#8221; The vet said, he had only had one other dog treated in\u00a0this way.\u00a0 I was willing to try anything, so\u00a0Jazz was measured and we ordered him a knee brace from you.\u00a0 When it arrived and I put it on him the first time, I must admit, I had my doubts.\u00a0 I took him into the vet&#8217;s office and they trimmed and fitted it to him.\u00a0 He seemed to understand at some level that it was a little safer to walk and he gingerly touched the toes of his injured foot to the floor. Success!!!!\u00a0 He left the vet&#8217;s office, walking, although very awkwardly.\u00a0Each day, he got a little bit more confident.\u00a0 I borrowed a wagon from a friend and we practiced riding in it with his braces on.\u00a0 By the time the 28th of November rolled around he was wagon savvy and able to walk short distances thanks to the braces.\u00a0 He attended his tea in the wagon,\u00a0and was so happy to be\u00a0out doing his job with all the people that he had known for all those years.\u00a0 He had touched so many lives, I had no idea, and they came from every facet of hospital life. He received many gifts and I will never have to buy him another dog treat for the rest of his life. They also had collected a sizeable amount of money to help pay for his medical bills.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to his brace, he is getting stronger each and every day and is going on brief walks with me\u00a0each day now. I hope more people will become aware of this option when treating older dogs.\u00a0 It has worked very well for Jazz and has given his life back to him.\u00a0 He can now enjoy his retirement.\u00a0 Thank you so much for letting me keep my dear friend for at least a little while longer.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div
