Man, I would have loved to have done that! Babbitty and I would have rocked that class (I've already taught him to go through tunnels quick 
) but it sounds like Gus went through like a pro! That poor bun that was in there for 2 minutes must of just liked teasing her person, it sounds like something some of ours would do!
I actually haven't heard of Benazepril, maybe I should ask my vet about it. If it gets their water consumption normal, that would be a major help for the both of us. He has a huge water bottle and a smallish dog bowl (That's still pretty big compared to him, I could set him in it and probably have all four feet comfortably inside), I fill it to the brim and within a few hours it's gone, so you can imagine how much urine there is. Luckily we've worked a bit of something out so he's not wet all the time but it's still not ideal. I actually have all his hay in the litter box now because it's the only part of his cage that stays dry. Go figure. I need to make him a hay rack or something and make that into some kind of bed, but I think he would probably end up soaking it anyways.
Ty himself is doing good, although I suspect he's beginning to slowly lose mobility in his rear end. He's hopping a bit differently like he's kinda dragging his back feet and bit more and while he still enjoys hopping, his one foot is still sort of dragging over jumps and he's not tucking his feet up like he used to, it is the leg the vet pointed out he might be partially paralyzed from his stroke, and it's been gradually getting worse.
I'm thinking he doesn't have much control over his bladder anymore either. We went to an event at the beginning of the month and I let him out to hop around the course in between competitions and he literally peed while hopping for 10 feet, not spraying or dribbling, a long, steady stream of urine and he did this twice within an hour. This is definitely not normal for him, before he never even peed outside his cage and now he's constantly leaving puddles everywhere, generally as he's moving almost like he doesn't notice it.
Ty is still happy though and popcorns all over the place, not to mention is still the major snugglebug he always was, it's like he doesn't realise whats even happening to him...
