I took her off canned food containing beef, but I believe it is caused more by outside grasses and weeds. We live in a rural part of the Colorado mountains, and have a lot of tall natural grasses, etc. I have been shampooing her with a good Oatmeal product which helps. Her diet consists of both dry and wet Evo chicken food, and I cook chicken breasts and add peas and carrots to it. She receives very few treats, and those are pretty healthy also. I do not buy products with grains in them. Any suggestion you have will be appreciated. Thanks you, Nita |

Grass is a tough one, if that's the culprit - a real tough one. As for the food - just fyi, chicken is the most highly allergenic meats - of all meats. Not to say she's allergic - but it might be worth a shot to eliminate for about 6 weeks and see if there is a change, it'd be pretty easy to do. Instead, you could feed something (within Innova probably) w/ Lamb, Buffalo, Venison, Rabbit - something along those lines. And see if it makes a difference with her eyes.
Marcel has terrible problems with cooked chicken - but is fine w/ raw, organic chicken - which is not uncommon since cooked chicken is lacking its natural enzymes, whereas raw retains them. We do Natures Variety Raw Frozen Medallions - just incredible food.
Anyway, if you try this - and then the water issue as mentioned by the other poster (or, try the water first and then the food) - maybe it'll help.
