You need to have much more patience than this if you want him to recover from Potts spine. The treatment goes on for 18 months. Don’t expect any miracles in 15 days If his appetite has increased in 15 days then that’s a very good sign. Have patience. Absolute bed rest is advised for atleast 2 months
