11 days ago Mausi came home and she has been recovering well. Yesterday the ZDF team came by and filmed a short update on Mausi's recovery.
The changes in her behavior become more apparent every day. What can I say?...She is more and more "here". Since the OP she is able to look up (before she never did) and often she will put her forelegs up and stand on her hind legs. Mausi plays much more and actually follow Liane around the room. Before, in order for Mausi to get enough food, Liane would have to hand feed her with a syringe...now she eats on her own (mainly dry food, though. She doesn't seem to like can food much).
Slowly Mausi is getting her fur back and losing the orange tinge carried over from the operation.
Daily it is necessary for one of us to manually engage the pump unit implanted under Mausi's skin in order to prevent the tubing from becoming clogged or blocked.
All and all we are very pleased with the recovery so far.....and Mausi seems to be as well!
Wow! Thank you so much for telling your story! We have a little papillon pup that is a male, born July 3rd, 2009 that looks to be hydrocephalus. This gives me hope that he might have a good life too!
ReplyDeleteBTW, we wanted to wish Mausi the absolute best of luck in her recovery! Our prayers will be with you sweetie! Please update soon, we'd love to see more pictures!
