Thank you all for you caring advice, booka is doing well, he is still on pain meds which are slowly being withdrawn, he is starting to explore a little each day, and he is starting to find his food and water on his own, he is still in the cone as he doesn’t vget the stitches out till next week, and we have ordered a halo for him. My partner had taken 6 months off work, mainly for self isolation and we had 3 month’s in Europe as well that has now gone down the tube, so booka will have plenty of company and love during his long re hab, I’ll up date as things progress, once again thank you all for your kind thoughts.......
