Yearly examinations and vaccines are important for your dogs health. This summer during vacation we thought Jake had injured his eye with a twig while chasing squirrels. Picture below shows Jake did not catch the squirrel. Upon our return it was Jake's yearly vet appointment. I had the Dr. look at his eye for you could see it had not settled down yet. He was diagnosed with SUPERFICIAL KERATITIS a common eye problem with German Shepherds. He was given medication MAXIDEX and sent home with a follow up in two weeks time. Update on Jake's eye condition to follow. You can read more about Superficial Keratitis or PANNUS as it is also know as. A dog's undying devotion to you is for all their life. They do not ask much in return. So please be responsible dog owners and make sure you do not skip your dogs yearly check up.
