Snap out of it already!

So, Jax is still lethargic a full 48 hrs after the mitaban treatment. This is almost certainly a sign that the chemicals were too much for him. He has shown some improvement. That is, he will now follow me around the house, and he seems to have his coordination back. But still, he's shown no interest in playing, only sleeping and eating. I count us fortunate that he doesn't have vomiting or diarrhea as additional symptoms.

Unfortunately, he has been a grumpy dog. Last night we took him to a cookout, mostly just to keep an eye on him. I figured he would sleep in a corner. In fact he found a little more initiative to move around. Unfortunately, while he felt well enough to cruise around the crowd, he was still not at all playful. He growled at a couple of other dogs (very unusual) and then repeatedly tried to steal food from the tables, despite repeated correction (again, unusual). He even turned and nipped at me once when I pushed him off of the table. That was a first. He got a pop on the nose for it, but I'm hoping it was just the drugs.

In truth, we are a little worried. We almost took him to the emergency clinic today because the conventional wisdom is that if lethargy persists he should see a doc. I'm giving him until tomorrow morning simply because he has shown some improvement. But if he's not 90% or better tomorrow, it's back to the white coats.
