We're still waiting until he goes back to the vet next week. He is continuing to be alert and wants to be more active, but he isn't the most coordinated right now and has an unfortunate tendency to fall if he tries to climb too much. His appetite continues to be good and he is continuing to be sneeky about eating on his own so that he will get fed and loved on by Mary.

For the last 2 days Mary has only been giving Brodie his Ensure during the day. Despite her cutting back on his food, he is continuing to poop quite a lot (10-11 poos that she can count) so he is obviously eating during the night even tho he is sneeky about it. He is continuing to be alert and is keeping up on his grooming. We'll know more after he sees Dr Fronefeld tomorrow.

Brodie went to the vets today and we know a little bit more. He still has some gas so is still on his medication for that. He is also now on a calcium suppliment. In addition we discovered that Brodie is blind. His eyes work but his brain does not process what he is seeing. This means that he is dependant upon his other senses and could explain why he doesn't want to eat on his own. Because if he can't see or smell his food he doesn't realize it is there unless you place it in his mouth. Chances are this is permenant, for chances of his brain rewiring itself to give him sight again are very remote. Brodie has also had another blow to him. He is now alone at Mary's because he lost his buddy Ryan today. We are not sure what happened but a necropsy has been performed that will hopefully give us some answers as to why he crossed the bridge so suddenly and without warning. Please do not post here about Ryan, I will start a thread in Rainbow Memorials for him.
