Hi,
We recently bought a 4-year old pure-bred EB that had been a Dam in a breeding program.
She was sold to us in "good health" upon my next day vet visit I found she had in infection in her eye, dry eye (that had been going on for some time and had not been treated consistently...if at all), and possible entropian issues.
She's been on antibiotics, tear medicine, and Optimune (sp) for about a week...her eye has cleared up considerably but it's still cloudy and a little red.
Anyone have experience in this...have you had this happen and the eye cleared up or did it always stay cloudy even with daily care.
Also...she has some scabs on the top of her head that are quite awful...not sure what they are from but she had them the day she came...I've been putting Neosporin on them and it seems to be helping them heal but I think she has some skin issues...she's got some other dry and itchy scabs that are smaller.
She's on Nature's Domain Salmon and Sweet Potato (what she came with)...we use Pinnacle and Blue Buffalo for our dogs and have had great success with it...but this is our first EB..we've had OEB's until now. Though our first OEB had skin and allergy issues and that's why we did Pinnacle...she had super soft coat.
Also...her coat is not very soft...it's quite coarse...is that just typical of some EB's...
TIA!
