Dr. Bray gave me a call right around 8:15 this morning to give Boomer's update. She said that he is a bit more perky this morning and more and more himself. It's probably because he is coming off the meds and can think straight. Yesterday he did still look a little puppy-drunk, so hopefully today he's more himself. Dr. Bray was happy that he was eating more and moving himself toward his water bowl to drink. The more exciting news was that when they took him outside this morning and were working on his PT he was able to stand on all four paws for 30 seconds. Yesterday afternoon when we stood him up on all fours he was able to hold it for just a few seconds before he slumped down. So, for him to hold himself up that long, hopefully his legs are starting to realize that they're there. It's progress-- and good progress. Baby steps still, but baby steps in the right direction.
We'll visit him this afternoon and I have the hedgehog in tow. Hopefully that cheers him up and he gives us a nice big smile.
