How are Winston and Jack coming along? How about a short update?

Hi Carolyn,

Jut got home from the Vet's with Winston - he had his bandages changed and
they said all looked OK.

I must say thought that I am having serious problems trying to stop him from
walking - unless he can see physically see me he just stands up and cries
for me to come and let him inside.
He slept on the couch last night - the first good night's sleep I have had
since his accident. Tonight I will put a big sheet on the couch and he can
sleep there again - anything for a decent number of hours.

Over the weekend he decided that he had had enough of being couped up and
decided to leap the barriers I set in place and go for a wee in the backyard
on his own - much to my anguish when I saw him outside. Even went down steps
to do so but couldn't get back up on his own. Needless to say, he was
brought inside immediately so I could keep an eye on him.
His friend, Indy, just wants to mother him all the time.

He has to go back next week for another bandage change and when I told the
Vet what he had been doing she just rolled her eyes and said I thought you
would have trouble.

Thank you for asking.

Best wishes,
Di

Hehehehe... Just like our cats! Cornflake disposed of his first (soft)
plaster withing five minutes of getting home, and his first hard cast
within 24 hours! Winston is a lot bigger than a cat... You get sympathy!

It's probably a good sign in a way. He's not scared and probably not in pain
if he's trying to get around on his own. Good luck keeping him quiet.

HI All,
Thanks for asking about Jack. He's doing fine. No sign of any pain,
but today is the first day off the steroids and he'll receive them
tomorrow and that will go on until the end of the week.
This is the point last time that the pain returned, so I'll be holding
my breath. If the pain returns this time, we'll need to do the MRI to
see exactly what we're up against.
Thanks for all your all wishes and prayers.
I'm glad to hear that winston is doing well!!!!
