It is nice to post good news in this forum. Wellington is much better, his voice is coming back and I actually heard him yowl tonight when he found the door handle locked! He does not yet talk to me all the time like usual, but at least he has a voice! He is limping very slightly but you have to look very closely to see it, and the gash on his leg is healing without inflammation. He is noticing Biscotte again, and they curled up my bed together very early this morning. So my boy is well back to his normal loving self and I am so happy. His expression is not fearful any more either, his eyes have lost the scared look they have had for days.
