Camou News Update

Camou seems to be making some progress. I am beginning to think it has as much to do psychologically as it has to do physically that he cannot walk. I do not know too much about doggie psychology but it seems to me that Camou does have the ability to walk but 'opts' to move around using his front paws. I just worry about the wear and tear that such a method of mobility might have on his posterior. Doggie behinds were never made to be dragged across the ground.

He does seem to use his hind legs more over the last few days. He seems to be favouring his left hind leg a bit and does not seem to be exerting much pressure on it. Maybe the nerve damage to his left hind is more pronounced that to the other hind.

In terms of eating,Camou seems to be well, although he is still painfully thin. The Caesar's food Paula bought him seems to be causing him diarrhoea. This together with his current mode of movement leaves poo streaks across the floor as he moves and defecates all in one movement. Not that we hold it against him. He has little choice in the matter.

At least there is some light at the end of the tunnel for all of us who hold Camou in our prayers with his current progress...
