Remember Pumpkin? the paralyzed kitten? we thought you'd like to have an update on his progress since we first posted him as a kitten.
He's grown up now, but unfortunately despite regular accupuncture visits he did not regain mobility in his back legs. He has a lot of reflex and moves the tail and legs quite a bit but it's not brain connected.
Despite this, he's a very happy boy. Scooting around he is fast and agile. Of course a cat like this requires special care, they don't urinate on their own and have to be expressed several times a day. He doesn't use a litterbox, but with proper diet, he's having regular, firm stools that don't soil him or the surrounding.
He still visits his veterinarian monthly for additional treatment, but the prognosis is poor with regard to any change in his status.
Other than that, he's healthy and full of energy, definitely a life worth saving!
