Miley is reluctant to use her tightrope leg while walking. She toe-touches with towel assist (a towel cradled under her pelvic region and used like a harness to relieve the weight bearing in her back end while she walks - good for stairs in arthritic dogs also). When we drop the towel, she avoids use of the tightrope leg and instead prefers to hop on her other hind leg (which also underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove damaged stifle structures that were causing pain and degeneration).
