</div>He’s having a good day today. Yesterday he was doing a lot of
scanning and wasn’t very chipper at all. I don’t know that the dizziness
is any better - he seems fine when he’s sitting still but when we set him on
his feet he runs in circles for a few seconds or a minute until he falls over
and you can see that his eyes are moving left to right. Well, he runs in
circles If his back legs are working that day. I’ve been putting him in a
harness to help balance him so he can get a few Minutes of walking and exercise
each day. He was able to walk around 3 weeks if I set him on his feet, but hes
been declining since then. But today he is pretty peppy. Maybe he hasn’t been
eating much for a week because his skin hurts. He’d eat the whole store’s worth
of parsley if I let him.

Speaking of … you guys know off hand low gas low calcium greens? I need to
watch him because he got a bladder stone last year. And he’s prone to gas.
Although the vets day bladder sludge/stones is more about hydration and
exercise than diet. So I have to jiggle his bladder every day to stir anything
in there up so they come out. I’m now feeding him dandelion greens and
cilantro and parsley. I actually had to stop giving him greens a couple
years ago except as a treat because the more I gave him the more often he’d get
GI stasis. When I stopped the greens he stopped getting stasis every week. And
Balin usually refuses greens anyway. I have weird bunnies for sure. But since
Frodos appetite is so low now and he won’t drink, I’m giving him wet greens
several times a day and sub q fluids daily. He’s on gut motility drugs anyway
so what the heck. Vet said up to 2 cups of greens a day. Some days we go
over that just to get him to eat something. He can’t believe his good fortune
as far as the greens go. As you can tell from the video.

Brenda! So adorable! It looks like he is getting better. Do
you think the dizziness is beginning to subside? Thanks for the
video. Keep fighting, Frodo!</span>

looks more pink, and not red, Brenda. You are doing a good job. I
am sorry the butt bath was an ordeal, and just want to mention that I held
Riley on a football hold on his back and let the tepid water only run on the
necessary area to be cleaned. I just mentioned it in case you have a mess
to clean that is difficult to do with wipes. </span>

</div>Here’s pic of his situation this morning.

You can see at the bottom of the photo near his foot where the fur
was wet. I don’t know if the diaper wasn’t on right or is too big or if it was
when he started peeing as I was taking it off. At least it was a different area
and the skin seemed okay

It’s better overall, you can’t see but I see a couple small
(like smaller than a pencil eraser) spots that are red and where the scabs or
whatever came off with the washcloth on Wednesday (I thought it was cornstarch
clumps but guess not). Also there is redness in the fur line along the
perimeter of the bald area. I put SDD ointment on but need to trim the fur
there somehow, comb it, clean it and more ointment later. Maybe my brand new
little eyebrow battery operated shaver would trim it. I d on’t want to do a
whole butt bath that was such an ordeal and I think made it worse and was so
hard to get the fur dry. and he’s not got poop in it since I started
diapers at night.

Thanks for letting us know Brenda. Oh Micah use to pull his
off. It was so hard keeping on because he had no back feet which was quite a
challenge.

I’ve only been using the SDD so far until the redness is
gone. Then I was doing to try Ad ointment no zinc formula.

His diaper fell off last night and when i checked on him kn
the middle of the night he was wet. I was so upset! His fur was wet but the
bedding wasn’t soaked so i don’t know how he got wet. So I took a towel and
lightly pressed against the bare skin areas, blotted the fur that was wet, then
rubbed some cornstarch into the wet fur and massaged it until it was fully dry.
I hope it didn’t get stuck in any remaining SDD ointment that may have got
rubbed into the fur. I didn’t feel like the fur was sticky so I’m hoping it’s
all good. Then I put a new diaper on him and it’s still on. I slept in late I
was so tired. Hoping he’s dry under his diaper. I’ll check it out soon and send
a pic and update to everyone. .
