after a few days of watching him decline, i started him on "protein shakes". hard boiled egg yolk, cat food, and electrolyte water blended into liquid form. he gets it 4 times a day. i also started doing "exercises" with him. helping him stand and move his legs. from what i can tell, it seems like one leg may be better and ok, but his other one acts like it is either paralyzed or atrophied to thepoint it won't work.
