Chance update

Chance saw Dr. White yesterday and he put the splint back on. He felt some curvature of the bone this time with the splint being off several days. We're going to do this for a few weeks and see how he does. He doesn't have full support in the splint but enough to allow him to use it more than he could with the full splint. His leg may be as good as it is going to get at this point. I just hope it doesn't revert back to the way it was to begin with. It did develop a little bit more of a curve while the splint was off but he still walked on it like he is supposed to. He gained 0.4 pounds since last week and is up to 2.6 pounds now.

He did pretty well at the vet this time. He still gets scared but this time he walked around on the table and sniffed everything and even played with the tech some! Usually he acts pretty spooked the whole time so I'm glad he seemed a bit mroe relaxed this time. The techs were fighting over who got to call him back! I am glad they like him there and shower him with love and attention.

He continues to act like he feels good and is pretty active these days so hopefully whatever was wrong was just a virus or something that made him so lethargic several weeks ago.
