He's slowly on the mend! After much pain meds, force-feeding, injections, and other medications plus near constant syringe-feedings, I think Luggy is finally figuring out an important lesson:

"If I eat lettuce and hay, then Mommy and Daddy will stop shoving nasty goop in my mouth!"

He's putting a lot of fight into the force-feedings, but will still let me give him water in a dropper. He's eaten half of a large Romaine leaf, which is about 1/6 his usual daily intake, and I've seen him nibbling at his hay a few times.

Still not out of the woods yet, but he's making slow progress. Keep prayers going! Thank you to anyone sending good vibes out way! <3
