Balance is a joy

to all who know him. He has taught us what it means to be cheerful amidst trials.

Despite his impeding e-collar (which was upsized due to his immense agility at reaching his bandage), which he has gotten used to for the past month, and the constant bandage on his left hind, and the regular trips to the vet to have it changed and his wound reviewed, plus regular medication/supplements, he has shown good cheer and put on weight with a good diet too.

The first skin flap done on his wound has not been entirely successful. The stitched-on skin did not integrate perfectly into the surrounding skin, being at a tricky angle where the leg can be flexed, causing a small open gap where we're hoping for new skin to grow over soon. A new treatment cream is now being used on Balance and we would know by next Monday how he is improving.



Good news for him is -- after all he has been through, his days on the streets, the painful car accident, his discomfort, Balance could possibly have secured his own forever home with his charming nature. We'll update when it has been confirmed.
