How Is Max Doing Now?

Max has made excellent progress since first beginning rehab with our clinic.  Despite the fact that his owners were told he would never walk again, Max has been able to get up on all fours and walk around our rehab clinic! He is a very determined patient. While he still has some improving to do until he is not dragging his hind legs at all and is up walking 100% the time, he has come very far and we expect to see even greater improvements to come!
