We took Leo to Alvarado Veterinary Clinic this morning for a checkup for his injury. He's a little afraid to step down to the ground. From his vantage point, I'm sure the ground looks like it's a 10 foot drop. He finally did a flying leap.

Leo's wound is getting better every day. Dr. Beam is pointing to one of the four skin grafts he did several weeks ago. They have begun to grow into the void area. The pink border around the wound is new skin. It's unbelievable how well he's healing. The black area below Dr. Beam's hands has skin and hair where there was nothing but bone 2 months ago. (the area is black because we've been putting antibiotic cream into his wound and as soon as we finish, he tries to rub it off and then rolls in the dirt so there's a sticky mess of dirt all over his face. It's been too cold and wet to wash him off.)
