On the cowshe (as they call it on CuteOverload).
Note tucked toes ...
and tongue out.
He is doing ok. He feels pretty good, and his brain is clearly ticking along, same as always.
That left rear leg is just not up to snuff. It still bears his weight when it's in position, which is getting more rare. It tends to slide to the middle, and then he tips over onto his left hip. When that left rear foot is out where it belongs (or farther out, even), he does better. Sometimes he has trouble getting back up on his pins after tipping over. [unhappy sigh]
He definitely does better when he goes faster than he does when he's just strolling.
I continue to believe he's better if he fetches up a toy on the slippery kitchen floor for 4 or 5 minutes every day. Why that combination seems to work for him, I don't know, but I believe it does.
As for the leukemia and the kidney disease, no sign of leukemia (though he hasn't had a blood test since I discontinued his leukeran), and his kidney disease is better (my sense of things; no blood test) on kidney food (Hills K/D) and kidney-support nutriceuticals.
