Well...I just got back from the vets...and had to share. Though Bears bladder nerves still don't work and he's not walking...yet. Yet, is the word. I wanted my vets opinion, before I said anything, but I thought Bear has feeling again. My vet agrees...it looks like almost complete feeling is back in his legs, feet, tail and lower back. For quite some time, I've been noticed that I get a lot of kicking while washing his behind when the water is a little cooler than his liking. He also has been fighting having his toe nails clipped. We are going to talk to a surgeon again too. There might reason to have his back worked on. Since the nerves are working there is some very strong hope that it could be successful. I'll keep everyone updated on this....but I'm awfully excited about Big Bear walking again. We will be giving him a lot of water therapy also..trying to get those muscles strong again. For those who don't have any idea of what I'm talking about, Big Bear is a ferret that was brought into us about a year and half ago that was paralyzed, due to an accident. His whole story is on are site if you would like see it.
