Back and forth

TJ has definitely seemed to have a relapse since taking the antibiotics. He's not that yeasty or itchy, but he's definitely not himself. He's not eating his food at mealtimes, although he does seem to always finish it. It's 1pm now and he's just eating his breakfast. He's also not drinking much water, but he's taken to drinking out of the toilet, which he's never done before. Weird. We took a walk around the neighborhood yesterday, and he wanted to "jog" several times and seemed to have a lot of energy. But today he was very slow moving. Sometimes he's slow because he wants to sniff everything, but today he just moved like an old man. I've noticed that he trips over his front left paw quite a bit lately, and I'm not sure what that is all about. Erin and I talked yesterday about his quality of life. I know she's contemplating stopping the treatment because she feels as if he will go back to having energy and being playful, but he hasn't really been very energetic or playful since he had his surgery for his ACL in February.
