Doing Better on Prednisone

Ziggy's skin and ear issues have greatly improved by staying on a low dose of prednisone.  He takes a small 5 mg tablet every other day with lunch.  I really prefer natural remedies as opposed to pharmaceuticals but in this case, it keeps him stable, more happy and keeps my vet bills down.  So I will continue that for now and post more updates later.

Eye Issue

The grooming shop where I take Ziggy for grooming damaged his cornea with a flea treatment (that I'm not entirely sure he needed) so had to put him on a few eye ointments and some meds to clear that up.  He's doing much better now and the eye is healed up.
