He doesn't look bad for such a long treatment. Is he able to keep his weight up? Poor fella
He is in a great place for the best care. Good luck with him. So hope he recovers soon.

* He lost almost ten pounds, however has gained it back since his initial diagnoses and treatment began. We are very optimistic for a full recovery. Thank you.
What a little trooper! You must be taking very good care of him!

Ya, does that mean he's all better now, or is there still meds or specail care needed?

* He is still having some issues, however he is eating and seems to be functioning very well. After the vet visit we should have better directions. This is a big improvement because he stopped eating and could not defecate or urinate for several months.
No more feeding tube!
Greg why did he have to be tubed? I read through the tuff thread, and either missed it or didnt see it. Was he not doing well?

* This is not Tuff, this is one of our five year olds named Hopi that for some reason could not defecate or urinate. He was tubed for medication and nutrition delivery. It was in about six weeks. He is now doing good, just has some issues with walking.

YAAAA, lets all do,the HAPPY DANCE FOR HIM. Must feel good to,have that gone.
Okay, now on a different point. Why, Sir Greg, do we never get to see this group of 5 year olds? Huh, huh, holding out on us? What other groups do you have tucked away that your not sharing? Huh, huh,
I guess the happy dance got me going
