Quite a sad day for me today. Tommy had another check up with the vet this morning. Things have got slightly worse with his leg/foot and the vet said it is now partially paralysed. He now dangles it alot while resting and is reluctant to use it. He also hasn't eaten for 4 days, which is unusal since he has been taking his meds. He has been eating every day since the meds started, although he was never a big eater before his illness. He also sits with his chin resting on the branch too and looks rather sad at times. He's not too keen on coming out of his viv anymore either. It's sad not to hear him knocking on his door to come out - but he does still come out occasionally and always crawls up my front and wedges himself right up under my chin. He really is such a precious little man.
The vet had another good feel around his neck and said that although Tommy's xrays didn't show a tumour in his neck, that's not to say that there isn't one somewhere - it was hard to see much behind the bone structure of the casque on the xray. So, Tommy was given a Cortisone injection and we have to return on Saturday afternoon for yet another check up. It was awful when he injected Tommy - it made a sickening 'popping' sound as the needle went in.
