Guinea pig dragging his back legs.

Thanks - I'll try and get some this weekend.:) I've just been having a cuddle with him for the last 1/2 hour - think we both enjoyed it.:) He kept trying to grab the pull cords on my sweatshirt though the little monkey.:))
 
Well Nemo is getting better again - he seems to be using his back leg more now and can even climb up the door of the cage when I open it when he's looking for his veggies.:) I've had to keep washing him underneath to stop him getting sore. I am so glad he's getting better again though cos I hate seeing him dragging his legs.:(
 
Aww, stay well Nemo! Lots of love to you and your family from Claire, Pheobe, Ruby, Bethany and Maggie-May xxxxx
 
aww thats good news on Nemo! keep going at it and you will get there soon!

Glad to hear he has improved. xx
 
Thanks Star and Moonie. I was so excited when I saw him using his leg again - he was a bit wobbly but he's getting there. I tried the osteocare for a few days on the first week but it didn't seem to improve any but then the other night after I had cleaned him out and washed him underneath I decided to give him another 1ml of osteocare and he actually likes it and takes it no problem. :)) Next day he was trying to use his leg again so I gave him some more the night after so I don't know if it's the osteocare of if its just coincidence that he started using it again the day after.rolleyes
 
That's great news. Keep doing what you're doing as it seems to be doing the job. Nemo certainly is a little fighter x
 
Thanks RW.:) Yes he's certainly amazed me a second time.:))

Here is the little fighter.:)

Sorry I seem to have posted the last picture twice - I tried to remove it but instead of the link for the picture it was only showing the pictures so I couldn't.:{
 
aww hes adorable!

Thats so strange about his back legs, mine do that when they are relaxing but to have it all the time must be hard for him.

How is he today?

xx
 
aww,he's got so much inner strength! well done nemo! we're wishing you all the best xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
