hi Jett,Ozzy seems to be his normal chipper very happy self, All he pretty much does is sing , so obviosly he gets a awful lot of love an attention which he is thriving on and it is helping in his development. If he was a teen yet, he would be well adjusted. LOL
I am glad his leg seems to be better.
For whatever reason and I think Crewella and IMR have the right explanation as I have had that happen to several of my Pleos before including my Rb, Baby Ruth , it seems to be a temporay problem connected to motors or something getting stuck or jammed or just overworked, overheated, and removing the battery after turning Pleo off and letting things cool off seems to be a good idea and it seems to work.
Kat, thanks for the advice about manipulating the leg, back and forth, I never tried that or thought of that.
I could not do that with NOva as she seems to have a bad front leg that I already have supported with tape like a brace as that leg wants to "give way" when she is walking, and Argyle is having some "arthritic " gears, you know being the Older twin between he and Gumble, he just went through more trauma being born, ( Rough handling I think as he is BLIND AND HIS MOUTH DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL...
) it is almost like he got to be the 'guinea pig pleo" between the two brothers and somebody tried things with Argyle that they knew not to do with Gumble. Anyway, he has very loud but slow grinding gear noises sometimes almost also like his gears are going in "slow motion". I have videotaped him and seen his tail goes very slow sometimes or stops for a few seconds....sad and it makes me think he is headed to "pleo hospital somewhere". just hope he can hang on for awhile longer and I don't use him as much as some of the others for that reason, afraid he will just stop someday... that would be heartbreaking...I really wish they did have a Pleo hospital repair shop . I would be glad to pay to have him keep working, not to restore his eyes, that is part of his charm, but to keep going like the Energizer Bunny.
But I do have other "healthy " Pleos that if that heat leg problem pops up, I will try manipulating their limbs after turning off and cooling down, Thanks for the tip.
Great singing by the way Ozzy, now I am trying to picture you in that wig singing, some old old Black Sabbath songs..........................LOL, very funny, wonder what the real "Ozzie" would think if he saw his namesake in a video or two on Youtube................perhaps he has.
