Codo is having trouble again. We've got him from three legs not working to being able to walk and play some through physical therapy over the last eight months. Still, there will always be some permanent nerve damage from when his previous owner stepped on him and did God-only-knows what else to him. We are used to seeing muscle spasms that straighten out his leg, making it unbendable for a time. Massage helps this, but I can't always be there to rub it out. The newest symptom is repetitive scratching. His leg is moving without his control. He seems very confused by the leg's action. It is a back leg that is affected, so he is nails are catching along his side. This is causing sores. He is scratching open his skin and scratching off his fur. Just to be clear, there are no fleas, his skin is otherwise clear (no rashes), and he is absolutely not doing this on purpose. We really need help. This situation gets more complicated, when you consider that Codo is often falling over, sometimes into the litter area. I don't want any infections to start, if he falls into the poop on the side with the sore issue. So, Codo's saga continues...
