Thanks Dottie! Yes, we thought so too.

Today (knocking on wood) my daughter started to cry when we visited. Otto moved his tail and when she put pressure on his foot he whipped his head around to look. He moved his leg. He also voluntarily sat up just for the briefest moment and then went down again.
.


We scratched him lightly on his hind area and he totally relaxed and closed his eyes.

They are teaching us how to express his bladder. We had him on the floor and the vet was showing us how to do it. He heard someone in the hall and started roo-roo-rooing and spun around and started to drag himself across the floor!

They may send him home on Saturday, but not sure. Their rehab facility won't be in operation next week, weird...because of the Christmas break at the university. And of course on release will teach the exercises and massages he's undergoing now. Then after Christmas I think he goes back for more therapy.
