Bigi Update

I am pleased to report that Himself is headed in a positive direction. After several months of misery and lameness, the drugs are kicking in and he has not been lame for two weeks now. He still has his disturbingly bloated belly, but is otherwise a lot more cheerfull. He is of course in quite poor physical condition having done pretty much nothing for 3 months.

For the last few weeks he has managed morning walks of about half an hour. Yesterday he survived a two hour walk, but today's long walk was a little too much. I ended up having to carry him most of the way. Not sure if he was really tired - he has always been a lazy bugger. Fortunately he is shoulder-sized so a piggy back is an option.

I'm hoping things continue to go well. He has started some light training, and in the next few weeks I can start backing off his medication to see what happens. Thanks to everyone for their positive thoughts during Bigi's illness - these were very much appreciated!
