    Back to the vet - it sounds now like s spinal injury or nerve damage. Is there a teaching hospital or clinic near you that might be able to see him? It is obviously NOT his foot, which the first vet said it was - you need some other vet to look at him. Foot injuries do not travel from one paw to another, or affect bowel movements. He needs help, sooner rather than later!

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Yes, please get a second opinion. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

    IMOM.org may be able to help. Please contact them and let them know where you are located. They may be able to find a vet in your area that charges less.
    And if you fill out an application, and are accepted, they may be able to help raise the funds for the surgery.

    Not having a bowel movement all week, can't be a good thing. He must be so uncomfortable. Did the vet have any suggestions on how to help him?
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.
