1st Picture: Bianco's fur plucked from his ears and cotton buds showing how dirty his ears are
Video: Bianco using his right hind leg to scratch his ear
Have been trying to upload a video on Bianco walking with his 2 front paws but to no avail. Been trying for the whole day. Will see if I can convert it to AVI format before trying to upload again :)
It has been more than a mth since Bianco's accident and it has been longer since his ears were cleaned. With all the hydrotherapy and showers... his ears smelled a little foul. So I decided to powder the inside of his ears and pluck his fur out. Look at all the 'treasures' found in Picture 1 :) hahhahaa.......to end it off, a liquid antiseptic was used to ensure that it helps to ease off any infections.
Bianco has been trying to walk on his own. However, he is just as happy walking on two legs as it gives him freedom to move. Will try to take another video of him walking on his two front and load it up sooner. Perhaps its the file that is too big for upload.
Holding his hinds and walking with him have been also tiring as we have to bend our backs and follow him from behind. Sometimes, he gets excited and starts running. Looking at this, there is definitely no doubt of some improvements on his motor skills.
At night while he was resting on the bed, he was trying to entertain himself and his right ear itch.... he lifted up his right hind leg to reach his ear and luckily, the camera was just next to the bed.. I managed to take a shot of the video...
He's due for another accupuncture this Wednesday. Will have to see how much accupuncture can help him and hopefully it does.
Right now, am trying to get him to pee on the newspapers (every 2-3hrs and of course with our help to hold his hind) in the kitchen. At least it is something familiar to him and at the same time.. it can help to slightly reduce the use of pee pads. It is also more hygienic this way as the pee will not be in contact with his stomach.
