Our poll has now closed and Huntly was the name you choose for little kitten :)
Last week he went home from the hospital with one of his rescuers so that he can recover. He has gained good bladder function and is starting to use his legs but it will still be a slow path to recovery.
for An update from Huntly's rescuer turner carer:
Considering his predicament, he's affectionate and responsive. He loves mealtime & lying on his hottie. When kitten gets a bit of exercise out of the cage he zooms around the room dragging his legs. It's amazing how fast he can move. Sometimes he moves his back legs like he's trying to use them to walk, but it's very early days yet. He still needs weeks of cage rest.
It's great that he has bladder and bowel function. I didn't fancy having to catheterize him. I'm not sure what kitten makes of the resident German Shepherd that keeps going into his room and staring at him!
