Reggie update

He is walking, trotting, sitting and laying much better these days. He seems to be a little depressed but I think it is due to him being constrained.
I took Reggie in on Wednesday and we received good and bad news. Good news, he is out of his full cast and is in a splint in less than a week. The doctor thinks this might be more comfortable for him and he seems to be doing much better. His leg is still wrapped like a cast but there is only half in there. Bad news, he got an infection on his paw and it is nasty looking. I left the bag cover (which was to be worn outside in the wet, not 24/7 per the doctor) on and moisture got in and now has an infection on his paw. This is another reason why we have the half cast on. He not only has an infection but he was eating his cast on the top part so the doctor is making him wear this ridiculous lamp shade that he HATES. I’m not sure who hates it more, him or Grandma Charlotte, since Grandpa Marshall and her decided to take it off him and sit with him in their front yard and watch him the entire time so he didn’t have to wear it. He isn’t spoiled. Here is a picture of his 3rd cast, now a pink/red with green clover on it.
We go back to the doctor on Friday to get another follow-up, especially on the paw. I wonder what color we will get next...
