i just got home from ralphie's check up at the vets and i have awesome news! his vet said he's recovered even more than she anticipated & that she does not recommend surgery for him at all right now
she said to start walking him more and more, little by little, for the next 6 weeks to build his strength back up in his back and legs.. and that she doesn't need to see him again unless there's a problem!
i am so thankful, you guys. i am so so thankful. surgery would've been hard on him, and i am so glad that right now he doesn't need it. having such a good outcome from this has left me feeling amazing..
