This is jack and jill, they are both very sweet and lovable. Jill is healthy, Jack on the other hand has a spinal injury and has a great deal of difficulty controlling his hind legs. He is partialy paralyzed and though he has not changed neurologically he has good muscle memory and is getting along, he's a real trooper. Currently he is taking prednisone to help with the swelling so his spinal cord does not turn to mush and he doesn't become completely paralyzed, if this happens before i get him his surgery he will have to go into a wheelchair. I will update you as we go on his condition. All comments are welcome, i just ask that you not tell me to put him down. Thanks Mary
