Update:

It about 10 weeks later. Harry is getting around taking small, low steps with his hind legs, pausing to rest frequently. He makes a move for the door whenever it opens and can be remarkably fast.

He is out of the diaper finally - it has caused bladder infections. It was a difficult process with occasional accidents. But we're close to accident free now.

Thanks yet again for all of the positive energy coming his way!  :grouphug;

BTW - I have found a very nice cat litter, "Yesterday's News". It is very absorbent, keeps those lovely fragrances in check, and it stays in the box, even with Harry (early on) dragging the back half of his body through it and out onto the floor.

Dearest Alene,

My heart is with you my friend.  I had a cat that was a senior citizen and was suffering from a tumor in her belly.  We made the choice to have her put to sleep but it was very bad and the hardest decision to make.  I agree with the vet to look into his eyes and he will let you know what to do.  I feel your pain my friend.  Listen to your heart  is my only advice. 

love always,

Earlinda
