Yes Christi, I have seen people on too much antipsychotics or were "allergic" (not a true allergy per say) and they were fairly lucid off of them. He needs a "med holiday" where they strip down all meds and start from scratch.

There are many other antipsychotic drugs out there, some with less side effects. He should be re-evaluated by a shrink. Yes they can cause nasty symptoms . Yes, if it's the wrong drug, yes. If the drug used to work and doesn't work anymore, he may have become immune to it and needs to try another one. Hope he gets some help. In jail there should have been a doc available to make sure he gets his meds. Hope this helps.

The spupples are doing really well and are very, exceedingly fat. I'm thinking of asking dak if pups can be too fat!

These little guys have fat rolls on their fat rolls!

Their eyes just started opening yesterday, and they are doing little push-ups instead of just crawling around. Means they can inch worm around a lot faster!

Maggie feeds them and cleans them, but still doesn't take a lot of notice when they cry in distress. Fat Boy crawled out over my mattress and out onto the tile floor and was crying and barking away when I got out of the shower. Maggie was curled up on the mattress and just kind of looked at me like what????

So I think a foot high barrier will be going up, shortly. Maybe I can get John to rip a piece of plywood.

I'll take some pics and get them up today. Fat Boy probably weighs a couple of pounds!

It's probably Ok for now as long as they get get their legs underneath them. Don 't let it go on to long or they will be prone to OCD (osteochondritis dessicans) or the various dysplasias. Kiddee pools are good in the exercise pen. Keeps pups in for awhile and easy to disinfect. I put done newspaper then those washable acrylic lambskins.

They are on blankets and wooly pads (our name for the lambskins) so the surface has plenty of traction. They are starting to try to get their legs under them, but mostly totter for a second and fall over. Nobody is a swimmer. We can't find those pools right now 'cause of the season, and mine is only 3' across and isn't really big enough. It won't be a problem to put up a low plywood barrier.

eta when do pups generally starts walking?

Thank you everyone, for your support through this. We are taking one day at a time right now. In my heart, I believe getting the meds out of his system will be good for him. Then perhaps, we can figure out the best way to go forward. We have watched football together this weekend and had real conversations. He asked about his Uncle and where he is. (stationed in Iraq) and what has happened in the past few years over there. He was shocked when he found out he has been stationed overseas for the past 6 months. He was actually interested in something beyond himself or the gangster crap in his head. He teased me- I almost cried on the spot. My son used to tease me all the time, but he had disappeared into this stranger that seems so angry all the time.

It seems to vary a lot depending on size and breed. If they're already standing, that's great. Let the chaos begin.

Another word of warning. I know it sounds like doom and gloom, and I know your dogs AREN'T pits, but once those guys get mobile the male pits tend to chomp them on the head. Especially once they get teeth and go looking for any available teat. I've seeing the unfortunate results too often.

Absolutely YES. The wrong meds can have the completely opposite effect, especially if mis-diagnosed. Especially in the mental-health area of medicine.

Withchristi - that is fantastic!!
See you DID do the right thing!!

Finding the right balance of the right meds at the correct dose is always tough, and it is great to get a meds holiday.
