Zacchie is finally starting to act like himself. He is still not using the leg, and I figured out he had a really bad muscle spasm in it. After working the muscle gently, he can stretch it out properly. So I've been doing sort of physical therapy with him. He swam a bit yesterday, and I tried binding up the other leg to force him to use the bad one, but it's too soon. We'll give him a bit longer before we resort to those measures. He has lost quite a bit of muscle mass in his bad leg, so it might be a while before he can use it normally. He goes to get his stitches out on Friday morning.
