Ive posted on here before about Avia's issue and it's been a rollercoaster. She has had on and off swelling since last December under her eye. My vet originally took an X-ray and did a tooth probe and couldn't find anything but she thought she might have had a bone injury. She was put on antibiotics and the swelling went down but never totally away. Vet said this swelling may never totally go down. She was doing well but then she had a couple more issues with it swelling more and was given more antibiotics which seemed to work. About two weeks ago it really swelled up. The vet put her on the strongest antibiotic they have and then decided she wanted to sedate her again and check her teeth and do another X-ray. She also wanted to open the wound clean it out and see if she could spot anything. While waiting to get her into surgery the wound burst and started draining. She went in two days ago for her surgery and again the vet could see noting but a lot of swollen tissue inside where the wound burst and nothing showed on the x-ray for her teeth. She also tried irrigating teeth, again everything looked fine. Avia has never had a fever through all this and has been playful and eats great.. The vet wondered if she somehow got something up under the gum that has disintegrated and is now gone. This is so baffling, I just hope that after putting her through all this she can finally heal and we can be done with this but I'm so nervous it will come back again or her infection will come back. Has anyone ever had an issue like this? Picture is of the lump before it burst and started draining.

I'm really trying here, and no my phone is not a potato. I took a close up and it does not look blurry on my end. And no I am not messing with anyone I just wanted an answer to how this flooring should hold up with the method of placing it that they used and what are peoples thoughts on how the pattern was placed?

I did not install my own flooring, I had a company do it two years ago. I had never looked into how it was supposed to be done, I figured installers would know the best way. I had never even heard of staggering flooring until I just read another post yesterday. They used the stairstep method in my kitchen which from what I'm reading is not good. I had already had the first flooring that was installed by someone else torn out as I didn't like it, it was laminate and chipping after two weeks. I have two large dogs and wanted something that would hold up. This is vinyl flooring, it looked lighter in the store but looks much darker when the light isn't hitting it.. Does the pattern look to be too much? Will this floor start buckling because of the way it was installed? I can't afford to make any more changes unfortunately but would like to get some other options.

New photo, hopefully doesn't come out as blurry as the last one, I apologize I do have an old camera. It always looks good on my phone but never good when I send pics sometimes.

I purchased a box and brought it home before install to check the color and never saw the variation in color in the planks for some reason. It looks much darker when the light isn't hitting it..
