Tang's in trouble

[guidofatherof5]

very resourceful, while less than cosmetic I am sure you might be on to something should you be able to make the brace for functional.

This was just a quick fix. Design #2 will be more thought out. It will be lighter, and not involve so many layers. I've got the design in my head but it's time for some sleep. I will update tomorrow.

Took Tang in for a check-up this morning. Dr. B is impressed with how the wound has healed. Tang shed 2 days ago. That's 2 sheds in a 2 week period. My concerns are still with the spasms.
Tang decided he's had enough and made a bolt for the floor, moving much like an uninjured snake. Dr. B. said that his physical therapy should be moved outside. Tang is to be given as much time as possible outside to help the nerves that were cut relearn what they need to do. He feels the recovery is going great.


I still hope that he is going to make a good recovery since he is such a good looking young male. That orange dorsal is a knockout.

Awesome! I'm so glad he's doing better!

Glad to hear the little guy is doing okay. I also like the bright green color on his sides.

Tang went out for some physical therapy this morning. He likes the sun and heat. As long as he keeps moving he seems to be able to work through the spasms. If he's sitting still they seem to overpower him and he goes into those terrible looking rolls.

I think this outside time is very good for him. He's much more active and engaged outside. Less rolling. I like that and I bet he does too.

Sorry, gotta go take my radix for a walk.

I know what you're saying, Greg.
This little guy and me are really getting close. He's getting a lot of rehab time but it's worth it. Orange stripe or not. He's a fighter and working hard also.

Tang just finished a 45 minute physical therapy session. I've learned not to put him in the grass, he immediately buries himself in the cool undergrowth and we get nothing done. I keep him in a open dirt or rocky area. This forces him to move and find cover.
After that it was off to the Hydrotherapy Tub(bird bath) Per the Vet's instructions I was to bend and stretch the injury area. He's very stiff in that location but seems to be handling the manipulations. The water started off cool but quickly got warm. I think he liked that warm water.
After this it was into the house for some well deserved rest. Tang layed on the livingroom floor for 30 minutes and not a single spasm. This is the longest I've ever seen him go without one.
For the first time I'm optimistic about his recovery. I do think there's a lot of work ahead for him but feel he is now making progress.

*GREAT NEWS*

Tang has started eating again. He took 1 big nightcrawler. I will sleep better tonight. He probably will too.

Got to be impressed with the amount of work you're putting into this guy, Steve. Kudos.
