And now a bit more good news. Jack has had a lovely run with Ethel and Elsie this afternoon. He is using his left leg a lot more normally, and miraculously, seems to be using his right leg a little more.
I haven't weighed him for a day or two, mainly because work has got in the way, but also because he is now so active, I'm not sure he will sit in them for long enough! I will give it a shot over the next few days, but he is eating so well that I can see no reason why he should be losing weight any longer.
Here's hoping he continues to improve.

858g tonight!! Pooping, peeing, eating really well. Even starting to move his back legs more normally tonight. He had a bath this evening and stood on his hind legs almost normally, and was taking a lot more weight through those legs. Will wait to see if BamBam notices a difference when she comes to pick him up tomorrow. He is starting to look much more like a "normal" guinea pig now.
