It's really amazing what they can go through and survive.

Hang in there Spike, we're thinking of you!
Thanks for the info. Spike peed on his own this morning, although it wasn't alot, and ate a good breakfast. He's still walking very gingerly and pretty much stays in his bed. Kevin will administer his antibiotic this morning so hopefully that goes well. We're hoping each day shows improvement.
