Swiffer is doing well. Thank you for asking. He never gained back the use of his back legs. His pelvis was long ago crushed and although our vet said there is always hope.... Swiffer gets around just fine, pulling himself along. I never know where I'll find him! I do have to express his bladder for him but he can tell when he has to do the other and he'll get out of bed and sometimes he'll even make it to the papers (rarely but that's o.k.). The one problem we've encountered is that because Swiffer is handicapped, he doesn't play. When one of the others tries to play with him he whines or hollers (doesn't scream) and I come running to save him. Sometimes after I express him and run warm water over his belly I'll hold him on his back and he'll kick his back legs. He'll really get them going as he splatters water all over me. I think he does it on purpose. :-) I considered a cart for Swiffer's back end, but he is free roam and we have stairs so I thought it better not too. Swiffer doesn't try the stairs at all and just in case he does there is a ramp there too. Hugs to all. tle Troy Lynn Eckart Ferret Family Services http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~sprite/ffs.html http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Haven/5481/ Please sign up to support our charity http://www.iGive.com/html/ssi.cfm?cid=46&mid=58395 [Posted in FML issue 3053]
