Ok, Obi is almost 6 months old and weighs in at 40lbs and was just neutered. The vet said I need to cut back on his food. I feed him Taste of the Wild (Pacific Stream) at the amount of 1 1/2 cups twice a day. So with the vets recommendation, I cut back to 1 cup twice a day and added a tablespoon of cottage cheese and some frozen mixed fruit (blueberries/strawberries/blackberries/raspberries) and vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans/peas). Obi also receives Sure Grow 100, NuVet Plus, and Grizzly Salmon Oil supplements After doing more research, I think I need to remove the corn from his diet. Just checking in to ensure I'm on the right page.
Obi's very healthy and the only problem that we're starting to have (since his surgery) are tear stains. I don't know why they started. There not too bad but he never had them before. They're very noticeable with his white face. I wipe his face with baby wipes multiple times a day and ensure they're dry. I started using Desitin today to see if it helps. The pollen is pretty bad right now where I live (MD) and we haven't had much rain to wash it away, so maybe that's causing the watery eyes (stains). The only other thing I do is put a little Vaseline on his to to help when it gets dry. So, I'm looking for a little help in this area as well.
I know, I have to update his picture. I'll work on that right now.
