Hi guys.

Cheers, Mark.

Mark, I'm very happy Wilbur is well.
Star had the same thing happen.
One morning she couldn't use her hind legs.
I was in a remote area and it took over an hour to get to a vet.
I got there and the vet was closed.
But I noticed Star had some use of her legs.
She could walk but still couldn't jump into the van.
I gave it some time and hoped she would improve and after another hour or so she was back to normal.
No idea what caused it.

Mark, so glad to hear Wilbur is doing better!  Mystery illnesses in dogs are really distressing, in part because they can't tell you what's happening and you have to try to deduce symptoms as well as causes.

Glad to hear your pal is better.  Wilbur looks like a perfect name for him.

Your trackwork is coming along nicely as well.

Mark I'm so happy to hear that Wilbur is up and getting back to normal.
Diane and I being dog lovers can feel how sad you must have been.

Give Wilbur an pet for me.

Thank you very much, Rick, David, Jerry and Jeff.

Wilbur is doing well.  In fact, if we didn't know what had happened we wouldn't suspect anything.  We should hear from the vet today.  Michelle sent them a video of Wilbur walking yesterday.  Maybe they can shed some light on things, or at least a best guess.  Meanwhile, I bought a new, big non-slip mat to go in the conservatory to help stop slips (in case it was a sprained back) and we have cut back any growth coming through the slats into Wilbur's run (in case it was a moldy leaf or some such toxin).  Yes, David - if only we could ask Wilbur!

I did get a bit of modelling done yesterday.

Cheers, Mark.

Mark nice to hear Wilbur is doing much better. I know how "heart wrenching" it can be when a beloved pet suddenly has issues. Fingers crossed it was an isolated incident.
