Phil splinted little Storm's front legs this afternoon with pieces of cardboard from a paper towel roll. I removed the splints this evening and I'm thrilled to report that he's almost completely normal now! He was immediately better with the splints and started walking more than we'd seen him walk up to then, and he even started hopping around with his brothers a little bit (in a very stiff-legged manner!). He had a hard time laying down though and was uncomfortable with his legs stuck out all the time, so I removed them for bedtime and from his improvement in just a few hours' time I'm thinking we probably won't have to splint them again in the morning like I thought we would. Yay Storm!! He has beautiful, long legs now that they're straight!
