Wilson update #2

Today I visited with Wilson and he is now eating on his own, up and moving around more, and enjoying all the attention. His fever has gone down in the last day and he is slowly healing but it will take a long time. The wound is very extensive and very deep. Because of where the location is, it is very hard to keep a bandage on it. Today, when I saw him, he had both the bandage on his leg and a sling over his body to keep the bandage in place. When his doctor determines that he has healed enough, we will proceed to the next step in his treatment. Right now he is only going outside, for a short potty break, with the staff at the veterinary hospital and enjoys visits with the volunteers who sit with him and spend time with him. He is being kept in a isolation room where he is away from other animals and he can see the staff during the day and they can observe him.
