    Re: Tang's in trouble

    This day just keeps getting better. Tang was out cruising!
    Still has some spasms but not as many and not as bad.

    Re: Tang's in trouble

    I started a new phase of Tang's rehab. I call it real-world rehab. I spent an hour out with him as he cruised around the foundation ot the house. He spent sometime over at one of the shelter areas I built. I kept him moving and he did great. I only had to help him a few time as the bend in him couldn't get through a tight spot. I could see he was actively looking for food so I threw a couple of worms in front of him. He eat both of them without hesitation. I will continue this regiment and see how he's doing. I still put his split on him at night to keep him stabilized and his spine in a more natural position. His enclosure time seems to be difficult at times. I wish I had more time to spend with him outside but duty(being Dad) calls.

    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.

    Re: Tang's in trouble

    Tang is getting so used to his therapy. No musking or biting. When he's in the warm water I think he falls asleep while I do all the work. I'm beginning to understand this isn't going to be a short road to recovery. Tang seem up for it and I'm not going anywhere. It will be nice when I can get him out for the fun of it.
    He's a great radix with a never give up attitude. He's worth all the time, money and effort.

    Re: Tang's in trouble

    He basically had a huge chunk of flesh ripped from his side. I didn't expect he'd be doing marathons anytime soon. But it is good he's doing better now.

    Re: Tang's in trouble

    Not a lot to report. Tang is still on a daily schedule of therapy. Today I added something special for him since it was a rainy, cool day here. He got to nap on the livingroom floor on a heating pad. Lucky little radix.

    Re: Tang's in trouble

    I think he's got the best care money can buy!

    I notice he seems to have that bend right above his wound that seems to be there in every pic. Is that from him having trouble moving that area?
