Well, this is not an interesting post but I need some advices and suggestions, please.
Sing has an eye infection while we were on holiday (must be a good three weeks ago), he has been treated properly and I have given him the oilment as prescribed. Unfortunately he still have teary eye! The Vet has a closer look today and found a hair (eye lash!) growing inside his eye (the upper bit). The Vet suggested a laser treatment to remove the hair. I have never heard of this before and the laser treatment sounds "serious" to me. The Vet said this is an abnormal case, so could someone tell me is it ok to do the laser treatment or is there a better way to treat this? I did mentioned about pulling the hair out but the Vet said it could grows back again!!
Saturn has campylobacter a while ago and have been treated with three lots of antibioctic. This problem didn't clear up totally, it keeps coming back from time to time. I have changed his diet from Burns to James Wellbeloved, unfortunately it didn't clear up the bowel bacteria inside him!! He has been poorly (toilet wise) since last Sunday. He keeps passing blood and loose toilet for one whole week. We went to see the Vet again today and he has given him more antibioctic and pro-kaolin to temperary stop the diarrheoa and hopefully to stop him passing blood. He also took his blood sample, so it would be another 7-10 days wait for the result. For time being, I bought bag of Hills' Diet from the Vet as he recommended a reduced fat and highly digestible food for him. Could any bloogers recommend any food they know is HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE with possible reduced fat with high protein as well?

Oh poor Sing and Saturn! You are not having a very good time of it lately are you!? I hope things start looking better soon :-)
With regards to the tummy problems, get some natural live goats yoghurt and put about a desert spoonful on each meal. Goats yoghurt has smaller fat molecules that cows and is easier to digest and as it's live it will help encourage the friendly bacteria in the gut. I've found it works wonders.
Lian, I have sent you the contact details of Lynda via a pm on the sheltie forum. Her dog has this eye problem, so she can probably give you some useful information. Jeanette
