    No not "just" mix, it has to be properly mixed according to milligram.
    What is the milligram of the pred you have?
    Meds are dosed by body weight, do you have a weight on your baby?

    Have not seen you back on since above posting and it's important that you see this
    and understand that meds have to be diluted and broken down to treat these babies by
    their weight for their systems so as not to overdose.
    I also want to add when treating paralysis with prednisone the sooner one starts the
    treatment the better the results are going to be if it's going to work.

    Yes! I talked to a few other posters and I am well aware of the fact that his meds have to be diluted and to distribute it by weight.

    Wondering how your little one is doing. Have you been able to learn more about the extent of his injury(ies)? Dare I hope there was even some improvement since yesterday? Has he told you his name yet?

    Oh! Of course! He is doing great! I have been doing water therapy for his legs and it's going good! He can now move his legs much more freely than he was! He even flexes his toes every now and again when I rub the right spot haha. He has really perked up! He can stand on all 4 legs for a short period of time so I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing and hopefully he can make a full recovery!

    Still no use of his tail besides flicking the base of it, but i'm thinking he will be alright!

    Wow, that's great! I wonder how much is due to prednisone. He's on that too? Water therapy

    So glad to read he's on the mend. If you can, videos would be lovely! I think most people put them on YouTube and post the link here.

    I figured warm water would help with the circulation in his legs! Since I wasn't sure what was initially broken, I thought water therapy would be a good start. His toes were starting to lose a bit of color but now they're just fine! I will surely post some videos !
    Between the meds and water therapy I honestly don't have a clue. But they seem to work great together!
