We saw him yesterday and as always was very thorough and spent a considerable amount of time explaining treatment. etc. I don't know if it is the same elsewhere but here animal clinics have multiple vets on staff so when the emergency happens you are seen by the first available vet. It can be a very frustrating system to work with.

Max appears to be feeling better as each hour passes, he is determined to get out of his crate and go about the business of being a dog. I think it will take a constant vigil on our part to keep him confined for another two weeks. Next week he is off to the alternative medicine for rehab assessment and treatment. I'm sure he'll enjoy the water therapy and think himself quite special to have such treatment.
Just seeing your post and I'm happy to read Max is improving. I know he's in the very best care.
