Here is the vast improvement this week! Cena propped up and eating. He is discovering more movement this week. His back left leg is showing more mobility, catching up with his right side. Cena puts his right back leg under him, trying to get up, but his back left leg isn't quite ready to help. But he's getting there!
Cena can now stretch to lick himself. His left front leg will help to hold himself in place, but he still can't move it. His right front and back leg he can move to lick, scratch, and try to get up. Once his left side catches up and he regains strength in those limbs, he will be so much closer to walking again!
Here's picture of his left leg and how it just hangs there. He can't control the leg or the paw. If he could start holding the paw out of the way, he might be able to get around better. But he is using it to hold himself in place if he is sitting up, licking, or scratching. He is itching where they shaved him. He loves to be rubbed!
Here's what he tends to do most days, just lie around and sleep. After trying to move around, he gets really tired. Pictured is my cat Sassy and Foxy the Pomeranian/ Spitz mixed. They enjoy laying around watching Cena recuperate. The chihuahua Milo brought the ice cube in and left it to melt. I am so thankful for Cena's great strides this week. Hoping next week shows more improvement on his left side and maybe even sitting up on his own!
