It was great to have Bianco home finally....

We went to see Dr Tan at 10.30am to speak to him and at the same time have Bianco discharged.

Bianco's temperature was back to normal but there was no session for hydrotherapy just to be safe and keep his temprature at check. When speaking to Dr Tan, he told us that he has spoken to a Neuro Surgeon who treats humans and he told him that it'll take about 2-6mths to see any improvements. In the meanwhile, he feels that Bianco, coming back home to us, with lots of TLC, would recover faster. We too hope so that he would as we will try to get him back on his feet ASAP (of course allowing him to take him time to do so too).

Dr Tan told us to come back a week later for a review and he will speak to us on the possibility of starting accupuncture for Bianco.

Bianco can eat normal food and recommended would be a mix of proteins, carbohydrates and vegs........and of course with his dosage of medication including all the vitamins, liver pills and anti-biotics.

We have to also incorporate the flexing of his muscles and joints from time to time as he can't use his hind legs as yet. So looks like we have to go trigger happy on his joints and muscles....

On our way back home, we had to get meat, fish, carrots and broccoli for him so that we can cook for him the next couple of days.

The moment Tequila saw Bianco, he can't wait to be let out of the kitchen. We settled Bianco on his new mattress and he was just feeling so tired.

It sure wasn't easy looking after him. There were a lot of washings to be done on the towels, a lot of changing of the pee pads from time to time so that his skin would be always kept dry.... and also a lot of cleaning him up after each pee.

As he is drinking a lot of water since he got back, directly from the bowl, he has been peeing quite a lot. Each time when he pees, we would have to stand him out to help him express out any urine that might still in his bladder. Otherwise it will cause bladder infection. However, he has not pass any motion yet.

His appetite is still good.. so for that we are not concerned about it.

A day's of taking care of him really left me dead tired at the end of the day. He slept in our room on the flr and I heard from Davion that he has been whining quite a lot during the night. But I guess I was so tired that I didn't hear any of it, considering that I was a light sleeper.

Looking at the amount of care he needs, its is definitely going to be trying and challenging.. but with the help of my love ones.. I'm sure that we can rough it out with Bianco......
