Today his leg is stronger and he is putting more weight on it. He hurts,
but I have some meds to ease the pain. No acupuncture for a couple of weeks
so we can see how this progresses. The pain is mostly due to the fact that
he is walking more on his left hip which is the arthritic hip - I was wrong
and thought it was the right hip. Which leads me to think that he has had
issues with that foot in the past because I have seen him limp on it. The
foot is plenty warm now, as toasty as the others. And he has more sensation
in the lower foot. I can tickle his pads and he pulls back.
So he's doing much much better. Let's hope it continues the trend.

This sounds very promising. Purrs for the trend to continue. Let us
know! As a slave with an owner who has off-and-on paw issues, I
know that limp. Rhett's paws have been fine for a while now, but
every time I see him laying down on his side and licking one, I
start thinking he's got a problem that will escalate to another
infection. I now regularly sniff his paws when he does that. LOL
