Thanks for the advice, Pam. I will definately talk to my vet about the ears because something really has to be done. It has been a constant battle for 4 years now. I really hope his eye condition isn't from diabetes. I don't think it is though because he doesn't have any of the other symptoms (increased thirst, urination, etc). I *think* I would recognize the symptoms since I have diabetes myself, but maybe I did overlook something. I just can't wait to get his blood taken so I can find out if anything else is going on or not................. *nervous*
