Can you see me?

Buster has had quite a month, the last few days we had wondered if he could see us. He would react to sounds, but seemed lost once outside and around the steps to the ground. We continue to pick him up and keep the boxes in the chairs.

A friend stopped by the market today asking how this all began. The vet said like a person, a dog can twist wrong. I had called the vet shortly after I gave the last dose of flea/tick repellent. Just after the 4th I called and gave her symptoms asking if it could be the repellent, a packet a step up from his weight. Was it to potent? I didn't notice in May, but it was so hot, both dogs were sluggish. The vet also mentioned that Buster was walking on the toes of his back feet, she asked if he was having problems pooping or lifting his leg which are all classic symptoms of back problems. He was poopin fine but did notice his squatting several times. My heart sunk. Is there a connection with flea/tick repellent? The vet said our next dose will be that of his weight.

He's had swelling in his back haunches, but noticed today that is better. He most likely hasn't slept well for 3 weeks because his favorite chair is not in his reach. We continue to get up in the night to check on him, tell him we love him, we'll see him in the morning and if he needs anything we are close by. Looking into his big brown eyes, we hope he continues to see us too, we pray over him and Carlee keeps an eye on him while we're at work. Buster is 9, a long life ahead of him in good health, that's our prayer. That's our prayer for all of us and all of you.
