Long post, my apologies. I think I figured out what's wrong with Victor. He's taking his meds and getting worse every day. Yesterday he had a seizure before breakfast, then couldn't walk right. Just standing there his back legs would slide out and he'd do the splits without even knowing it was happening. His feet would curl under and he didn't know. Last night his front feet got wonky too. I was pretty sure that when I said good night to him last night that I was saying goodbye. Crazy internet search through ugly tears yielded an idea so I went with it. Took his collar off, changed all bedding and rugs and gave him milk in his water so he would drink tons. This morning he pitched off the bed onto the floor, landing on his face and chest. Couldn't walk at all. Mr. V took him downstairs and gave him a super scrub with Dawn. He came back upstairs under his own steam and is walking around. Wobbly still, but walking. I'm making water super yummy to flush his little system out. His eyes are more responsive and no seizures today. The culprit: Seresto flea collar. I'm pretty freaking sure.....
Stopped using Seresto flea collars A few years ago. Marcie and my dear departed Weezie got open sores on their necks. I know they weren't to tight we wear our collars loose 4 fingers.

No, he's backtracking physically. Mr. V will wash him again, that did seem to help. No seizures today, but he's so darn wobbly. Poor little guy. I'm thinking that it might take quite awhile to rehab him if it's even possible. We're walking on rugs and blankets, trying to get strength and balance back. Tile and wood are a nope, he turns into a furry starfish. 
Pool arrived they sent the whole set, even though only the big one leaked. I'll let it set in the warm and set and fill tomorrow. Cleaned the area were it gets set up, still don't see anything that could have caused a leak.
Sounds good Drott. Told Mr. V I was trying to decide what to do with chicken for dinner. He said we are going out.
Good morning. No big plans today, woke up to Mr. V back out in his tree. Season opened yesterday. I'll stay in and deer watch from the house.
Good morning. Being lazy reading the paper and drinking coffee. Then off to the basment to set up the pool. GRrrrr...
I had a somewhat bright idea last night. My first boxer was allergic to freaking everything and had little rubber soled boots to go outside. For no known reason I kept his boots. Last night I put them on Victor's back feet and he is much more stable. This morning we both put our shoes on and he was all wiggly about it. I'll take the small wins where I can find them.
The milk test is over. 2% tastes like 2%, but not as fresh. For me that's a fail. So I'm not canning any more milk, will stick to freeze drying it.
