Bob's status
Jul. 17th, 2015 02:31 pmBobs is still very "lost". He didn't have much vision before, but the way he's moving now it's like he's fully blind, pausing for very long periods before moving around, especially at the changes in level inside the house - the bathroom/laundry/toilet are slightly higher than elsewhere. To help with that I've put some boards on either side, so that the gap (barely a few centimeters) is slightly less and more visible. I've also put a ramp on the back door step, though he seems to be able to get up via the front door steps OK.
He's still shaking a lot, and lifting him the wrong way brings a whimper, but much less than before. I've let him outside several times today to do pees/poos, and he has a much better appetite as well (including hunting down cat food). But he takes so long to move around, as if he doesn't know where he is, exactly, and he's also hunched. I phoned that Vet back to tell them how he was and they wanted me to take him back in, but it's freezing outside and at $200 a consultation I can't afford that, but I will take him into to see the regular vet on Monday.
