Nitro's second week in the underwater treadmill. He did pretty well today, walked for 17 minutes and did the equivalent of 2 miles! Not bad for a dog who's almost 14 years old. As you can see, the treadmill is a "2 man" operation. John gets into the tank with Nitro to keep his rear end centered so that his feet remain on the treadmill. If he doesn't do that, Nitro's rear end swings way out and he gets himself off balance. My husband Blayn, standing in the spot that I'm usually in, makes sure his head remains facing forward and speaks encouraging words to keep him moving. The water height is just underneath that middle bar. John did some raising and lowering of the water level to give Nitro a rest during the walk. We're only talking about a couple of inches here, but it makes a big difference to Nitro. As the water level rises, he becomes more bouyant, but the extra water in the tank gives him more resistance to work against. As the water level drops, it becomes somewhat easier for him to walk, but he looses the bouyancy, hence the stability. As the water level drops, his rear end swings out a lot more.

We had our first underwater treadmill/PT session today. You can see that Savannah is pretty unsure about the underwater treadmill. It was fascinating to watch her gait through the glass. She was trying to swim with her front legs and trot with her hind legs. Today was her introduction--only about 7 minutes in the treadmill--and the therapist says she has tricks to get Savannah to use her legs properly during future sessions. I decided on this one instead of the runner-up (below) because of that splash of water by her left front leg, even though I sort of preferred the panicked expression in the runner-up. Pretty much every photo had a slight variation of that panicked expression. What they do for us!
