     is the optimmune not working? have the teat ducts been checked?

    Try the artificial tears in ointment form -- they kinda "hang around" in the eye better.

    My holistic vet is trying a new supplement with Billy - Standard Process red currant oil (I hope I have that right -- I'll look in a bit).  He's been on it two weeks and it is making a marked improvement -- far less irritation.
