Sunny: "Don't count me out yet!"

Sunny has been showing slow, but steady, improvement consistently over the last 5 days or so. Every morning after we feed him, we've been placing him on a towel on the floor (outside the protective confines of his box) just to see how he would do without something to rest against. At first, he could sit for about a minute before falling over... then he started sitting comfortably, but not daring to move. On Friday, he started balancing on 3 feet and licking and cleaning his paw.

This morning, I sat Sunny on his towel, and as soon as his feet were on the ground, he was taking a couple of short steps. Surprising both of us, he stopped, looked at me, and then took off across the living room! Granted, he was weaving and moving slow and unbalanced, but he managed to thump the floor once he made it across the room.

He thumped three times, and looked at us, almost as if to say "stop feeding me that food and get me out of that box!". Well... he is no longer in the box, but he'll be getting fed twice a day for the next week or so until he starts eating on his own a little better, and he will be taking his medicine for probably the rest of his life.

We wanted to put a few pictures up now that he is a little bit better, so you can see how he is doing. He has a long way to go (he is still pretty tilted), but he has clearly turned the tide.

Thanks for all of your well wishes--Sunny is firmly in recovery!
