He's not going to be as compliant now that he feels better and is thinking clearer. Does this make sense? I think dogs are so much like people maybe I'm wrong (or nuts). I'm so happy you're keeping us updated.
Well, I feel better that someone else is thinking the same way I am. I live on a quiet lane with 8 houses, one vacant. Someone just drove into a driveway up the lane and they were both barking. So of course I was in the basement and came running up because I thought someone was here. Gus was standing with his front feet on the sofa looking out the window. Then he gets mad at me for chastising him for being up there when he is not supposed to be bearing that much weight on that leg. I think you are right about him thinking much clearer because of not having the meds. My thought is that I have been putting a little canned food on their dry in the morning. Now he thinks I should put some on there at night too. I guess if he gets hungry enough he will eat it.
