How is Gus doing now?

After spending nearly a month with our clinic and working hard in rehabilitation, Gus regained use of his once paralyzed limbs.  He was able to return back to Florida with his family walking on all four legs again!  Gus still visits our clinic when they are in town and he is still doing great!
