Thank you Sukie. Koda was discovered to have insulinoma when he was
in the hospital, and is on 1/2cc of prednislone twice a day. I was
wondering if during this whole tramatic time, Koda could have had a
stroke and we weren't aware of it and that's why he can't really use
his legs.
I am borrowing a friends ferret flyer, but Koda can't use the upper
half of his body to pull himself along, he just hangs in the flyer
(he can't use his back end either). He freaks out when I put him in
water, except for when I have to clean his bottom, which is a couple
times a day. He does have feeling because I try to tickle him to get
a response and he jerks. If I scratch his neck, his hind leg will
try to scratch his neck, but it doesn't make contact. It's as if his
brain isn't sending any messages to his legs telling him to stand. I
will check out the pet diapers, we are going through alot of puppy
pads and having to clean him up several times a day. My son is so
good at taking care of Koda and cleaning him up while I'm a work.
I just want to see him dance again like he used to, but if he can't,
then we'll just work with what he can do.
Thanks again,
Melanie*
