Bianco's Update - June 23

Today we spent time with Bianco, out on the hospital flr where he can shift his upper body left and right.

From the video, we can also see distinctive wagging of the tail that was not so apparent the last few days.

There's still no improvement on his hind legs. We tried standing him up but his hind legs were just limp and touching the flr like a puppet on strings.

Concordia told us that Bianco is not drinking water from the bowl. We tried to get him to drink water from the bowl and he did. I think he was just being selective on whos feeding him. We left him on the flr to just explore his suroundings. However, he did not managed to move much. It was still the left and right movements that we usually get from him. But what we observed was that he was able to bend more side by side then he did previously.

We are still trying to encourage him to use his hind legs. We will always try to stand him up so that he can feel the flr using his hind legs and hopefully see some improvements overtime.
