He seems like quite the terrorier LOL When Buster had his LP surgery he was ready to run much sooner than the Vet orders so I got an xpen so he had some freedom but was prevented from running and jumping. I hope he has a great time with his water therapy.

Very glad to hear that he is improving. Know how you must feel. We live near Chicago and there are only a few Neurologists in the entire state. Do you live in Victoria, BC? We were there on Thursday. It is beautiful. Went to Buchert (SP) Gardens and I even had Tea there! Hoping he continues to return to 100% normal

Initialy and in the next day follow-up we saw two different vets neither of which was our vet. He was on holidays although he did come in to read the xrays and check on the initial treatment plan. 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.

Just seeing your post and I'm happy to read Max is improving. I know he's in the very best care.
