A week or so ago Miles had a seizure. My parents took him to the vet and they did all sorts of bloodwork and tests. Everything came back clear. They also checked his thyroids. Which also came back fine. The only thing they noticed was his white blood cell count was up. He's been on medication. He had to go to the vet again a few days after the seizure because he somehow hurt his bag leg. It got severely swollen and he just layed around all day crying. He's been fine for a few days, but once again he hurt one of his legs. This time, the front leg. My parents don't know how he is doing it. I'm at work all day so I don't have any clue as to what goes on at home.
They also found out that he is 15 pounds over weight. I'm pretty much disgusted by that. [He's not my dog, obviously]. So he's now on medication for an infection they found at the first vet visit and is now on weight loss food. My parents are FINALLY making the effort to get his weight down. [After I've been telling them for MONTHS that he needs to lose weight or problems will occur. ]
Anyway, better later than never I guess.
I do have a few pictures I took today of the little guy.

Anyway. Thought I'd fill everyone in. He's doing better and we're hoping for a full recovery soon.
The heavy panting in the pictures is due to his injury. Poor little guy is really stressed out about all that has happened to him.
