Hello all,
I am feeling decidedly cheerier today. Rufus is still sluggish with his rear legs, and it is very clear that it is something neurological that we need to resolve, but he is to all intents and purposes a very happy, healthy puppy. He is eating well, putting on weight (judging by his paws he is going to be a stocky boy!), and he even met another couple of puppies last night and we proudly watched as he played nicely and enthusiastically.
It's interesting that we have now noticed he is a bit slow generally and we now wonder if it is all related., implying that it is something to do with his nervous system. Hopeful though that at no point will it stop him from leading a very long and comfortable life.
Once we have seen a specialist I will post an update, but for now I wanted to post something positive as he really is a little star!
