It has helped him tremendously and last night he actually moved one leg when I pinch tested it. Not much, but that was a glimmer of hope. Regardless, if he lives through this, he has a forever home with us and I'm already researching adaptive set-ups for him. Meanwhile, he was so shocky last week, that I offered him some scalded milk formula with vitamin E, calcium tab, and ibuprofen. He has taken to that just fine and has really perked up. We've moved him to a small crate where he can recuperate without stress. So how long to I keep him on the ibuprofen? TIA for your help!
