whelp, another round of antibiotics for mister. what did we do before antibiotics? biotics i guess. we introduced abiotics in the environment necessitating the use of antibiotics, which can't redress the imbalance and are a serial exercise in mitigation generally opening the possibility for more systemic breakdown, and suggesting the use of probiotics. but at least the vet agrees that water is quality of life and we can continue to swim as long as i get mister good and dry after.
by the way, the water is colder, but utterly blissful, we can affirm.
