Hi Michael. My computer crashed and I finally just got it back - yours was the first email I read. I was devastated to learn about your little baby and I can just imagine how you must have been feeling! Alas, accidents do happen with even the best care! I'm so glad Truman is getting better so quickly - I just think he's a little doll! He's so good taking his medicine - and he's so lucky to have you!

Truman has been getting worse the last few days since I took him off the medication. He's been refusing to eat lately and been acting a bit strange. Apparently the previous dosage was wrong so I have to bring him to the vet today and get another week's worth for him. I'll let you know more details when I get back.

Aw poor little thing :(
I know somebody said it only takes two weeks to heal birdbones, but this is a hipfracture. He has to stand on his feet and use them in order to do anything. So I guess it might take longer for it to heal properly?
Sure hope the vet knows what to do.

Give Truman a big cuddle from Holland!
