So that video is of today's progress: Romeo has started flop-walking (as I've dubbed it). Flop-walking = Romeo stands himself up, takes a few steps, and falls over. And repeat. It's progress, that's for darn sure. :)
He started flop-walking out of excitement when I got home. I took him out in the yard to go potty and thought he should spend some time outside since the weather was nice so I started gardening. You can't keep Romeo in one place if he doesn't want to be there. So, he got bored and started dragging/flop-walking around, barking at people passing by, etc. We came in for a bath and to do some aquacising for his legs. He rights his back toes in the water, but outside the water he still usually knuckles them (instead of putting his feet pads flat on the floor). It's very odd. Anyway, he did very well in the tub and, as you can see, did a good length flop-walk. I'll give him a much needed leg massage later.
Romeo has his first acupuncture appointment next week and a check-up with his regular vet, Dr. Sexsmith.
One problem we have, and this has been an issue pre-all this, is Romeo is very, very finicky about eating kibble. Now that he's had over 2 weeks of canned food, you can imagine how much harder it is now. We switched him to a kibble that we thought he might prefer, but he doesn't seem interested in it. We soak the kibble for awhile to make it softer, but that doesn't always get him to finish his whole meal (or eat any of it, for that matter). Any suggestions on how to encourage kibble eating would be greatly appreciated!
