    it occured to me that I havent been here in a long time, so you guys dont know about Rustys history lol, figered perhaps I ought to outline it, as my concerns and non concerns may be confusing without context lol

    -he has a heart murmur and arrhythmia
    -he has seizures that come and go, as many as 2 a month, but the vet doesnt want him on Pheno yet because he also sometimes goes for several months without any.
    -before I switched back to all/mostly Raw, he was collapsing at random..his legs would just go out from under him and not function at all for a few minutes, and his energy would go through extremes..going from no issue with 4-6 hours of exersize a day to inability to walk 15 minutes.
    -he periodiclly drinks heavily and pee's it all out..litterally, he will drink for upwards of 6 minutes straight and proceed to pee pure water
    -he regularly stops drinking entirly for days at a time..checking his hydration is a daily occurence.
    -he has difficulting swallowing dry food, he chews it up, then it just sticks in the back of his throat and builds up till he turns blue and I have to rescue him..thought it was a fluke the first time, till it happened again, I have since learned that if I need to give him dry food, I have to drown it in water first.
    -before the switch back to mostly raw, he was in and out of the vets practicly weekly with constant bloody diarrhea.

    ok, vet finally opened so we called them, she is going to prepare Rusty some cephalxin instead and we can just drop by and pick it up today and she said to give him 24 hours before starting it to clear any more of the clavamox out of his system
