Sebastian, is something
wrong with your leg? Because your paw is not
bending how it should. Let's take a closer look at that foot. Oh no, it looks like it's all swollen. That must really hurt. So we're gonna get you
walking straight again. The vet says you probably injured your leg when you were still a baby,
and it didn't heal properly. Poor thing. The good news is they
think they can fix it, but they gotta use something kinda weird: electricity! Don't worry, it's not scary.
It's called acuscop
e therapy. They'll send tiny jolts of
electricity through your muscles. It'll feel a little strange,
but we promise it won't hurt. In fact, it'll make your
injured leg hurt less. You got this, kitty. Good news, Sebastian: We're all done with the acuscope therapy, but you're still limping. Even though the electricity
healed your muscles, you're still too nervous to use that leg. The splint is helping a little, but we'll need to do more... like this! A special custom-fitted bootie
made of super-st
rong plastic to give your leg lots of extra support. It looks like it's helping. You're limping a lot less, but you're not totally better yet. Your leg muscles are still too weak, and the only way to get them stronger is by doing something
cats don't normally do. "We're gonna do water
sessions in the pool." That's right. You're going swimming! Nervous? Don't worry. We know you can do it, but
since this is your first time, we're gonna give you a life jacket. Is that water cold? Just try to relax.
All you need to do is paddle. "Move those paws, baby!" "Good job!" "Good job, baby, you're swimming!" Sebastian, you're making this look easy. Have you been secretly practicing? "Go, baby." Looks like you've mastered the pool, but are you ready for the
toughest challenge yet? Swimming without your life jacket! "Good job, my little diver." Wow, Sebastian! Who knew we had a pool pro on our hands? Is this kitty...doggy paddling? And after weeks of swimming like a champ, your leg is stronger than e
ver,
which is why your foster mom just received some major
news from your therapist. "She just declared Sebastian
officially graduated from physical therapy." Congratulations, graduate! It took seven months of hard work, but now you can run around in
style and in no pain at all. "Who's my good boy?" From electric currents to water currents, you powered through every
challenge, Sebastian. We can't believe how far you've come, and we're so glad you're
feeling all better.
