Latest Health Update

The doctor at Banfield put Ziggy on fluconazole for the skin infections.  It helps a lot but after it's done, the infections usually come back. 

He got an eye infection this past week (the blue eye) and the brown eye is not making enough tears.  So we're doing artificial tears in the brown eye and some ointment in the blue eye - Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Ointment USP (I swear that's the name of it!).

I decided to remove the corn from his diet because it's a grain and also any corn that is not organic is GMO which can aggravate (and cause) allergies so we don't need any of that.  I've also switched from turkey back to chicken and added some new veggies (see the new chicken diet page).
