(BIG - I was asked to fwd this to the FML for input/advice...Shari Gunter)
 
Highlights: 5/8/00 SPCA rescue - male, unknown age (probably 3 or 4), right
sided adrenal gland surgery completed 5/5/00 by SPCA vet before pick up
(yeah!).  Vet confirmed that he did not notice Charley's back left leg
dragging, but also, did not have the opportunity to see him walking around.
Recovery from surgery - great.  Charley has seen a local vet for follow up,
and he thinks it's nerve damage.

Charley can feel pain in his foot.  The problem that he is having is that
he dos not have soft touch feelings in his left foot.  Therefore he dos not
know to pick it up each time he takes a step.  Most of the time he drags
the foot behind him.  Charley will walk on the foot some times, and it has
started to shake some when he is sleeping.  I do believe that his foot is
getting a little better from when he first arrived at my home about 2 weeks
ago.
 
If you have any info/input on nerve damage, please email me privately -
