Tashi has begun his hydrotherapy, which will hopefully help him continue to strengthen his back and legs. At this point, most of the time in the tank is spent getting him used to the water, but by the second time he's already calming down and getting used to it. Cats definitely hate water... but it might be just the thing to help little Tashi learn to walk!

lol, i guess the drive to get out of water would make him use his back legs xD

The 't-shirt technique" is what I used on a feral kitten who couldn't use it's back legs.
He, apparently, suffered a broken back. I cut the bottom out of a large t-shirt and slung it under his hips/tummy. I'd walked him around like a marionette. After time, he could finally 'walk'. He had nerve damage to one leg and would fall over all the time. But, Oliver Twisted loved life and rarely met an animal he didn't like.

Thank you for helping and saving cats' lives! I love cats and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This video make me cry, not in a sad way but in a very touching way. Thank you very very very much for helping Tashi to be able to walk. If Tashi can speak our language, I'm sure his first thing is to say thank you to you!!! :)

It sucks to think of what would happen if he didn't have such a caring person helping him and what not, I mean, imagine if some a**hole was doing it, probably would make him try to swim alone and w/out help.. which means he'd probably drown.. :(.. I hate negative thoughts. DX
