48 hours!!! woo hoo! and now hoping for another day, so i can relax. he's never been on depakote or dilantin, they metabolize pretty fast in dogs and need 3-4 daily doses in dogs to get to a theraputic level. if i didn't have to work, that might be possible, but that dang J_O_B thing gets in the way sooo often ya know,,, . and no you're not ignorant lobodeb, i learned all this stuff the hard way. thanks for the support.
