It is hard to say - keep taking him as long as you see improvement. I don't want to discourage you but I had a female that did just as you have described yours and I finally gave her away. I took me a long time to make up my mind because she was like the song by Jerry Reed ("When You're Hot You're Hot! .........."). Good Luck!
