Yes I agree with Witchy, I would implore you to leave him there and do what you can to spend time with him. The clinic is the best place for him and as much as it pained me to leave Dino daily, it was far better for him to stay at the hospital. My last conversation with the Doctor was that I didn't want to take him home until they were out of clinical reasons to keep him there.

Anything you can do to give him some privacy will be helpful. A towel over a crate door, a piece of cardboard to hide behind or anything else you could use for a curtain. Not sure how much other noise is there, but that will also cut down on it a bit.

He always stays in his bed He never moves from there except for eating and pissing. Today He has spent the whole day turned to the wall and never turning back except when I go there and I turned him. Today I didn't pet him on his head but gently and very slowly with one finger in the middle of his forehead and He liked that he was almost sleeping but still growling and sometimes hissing above all when I stopped. But He spends the whole day alone in a room. I can see him only for one hour and a half everyday but for the rest He is alone in this room without seeing anyone only hearing the noises from outside. I brought him all his toys but He doesn't care about them. I'm afraid that he will stop eating for He is depressed. I tried to play with him but He doesn't want to.if I bring something to hide, He Will hide and maybe He Will bite his leg again and de will start all over again!

Hi Sol, sorry I didn't see this until now. Dino too spent his days behind a towel in a crate that was less than a cubic meter. The rest Alpha is getting is very important and until he shows some interest in his toys, this is the best place for him. Same went for Dooley when he was crated, and when they come home there are those first few days that seem like their health has gone backwards.

When Alpha starts tracking a feather wand with his eyes, or is ready to get up and chase something, that's when he is close to being ready to go home. Until then, just let him know each day you love and care for them, because when he returns to health your in store for the gift of a lifetime.

Alpha today is at home ! Monday the vet room away the two irons that he put in his leg and today I brought him home! He still wears the collar and need cures for his leg is still wounded and they're making close by itself so he need a medication one day yes and one no. Now I'm trying to make him feel at home again because he was not here for more than a month! I bought a camera to check his movimento and to avoid other complications. I hope that things will get better each day. I will keep you updated!

Alpha is back home since thursday night. When He arrived He was very anxious and He is still aggressive more than He was before he ran away. I Think He needs time to get used again here. I keep him close in a little bathroom as He has to wear the collar because the leg needs to be healed ad He has no skin on his knee. One day yes and one day no I bring him to the vet but He doesn't seem to be stressed by the situation. I hope that he will get more quiet and He can find again his equilibrium here like before of everything happened. I'm looking forward to take off the collar and I really hope that this will happen soon...
I will send you some pictures that I took today. Thanks to everybody for your nearness and your affection to Alpha and me. A big hug to all of you
