No. I've been thinking of taking him because his eyes are tearing so bad and he gets the reddish stain. I treat his ears with ente derm and that helps the tearing but doesn't stop it. He doesn't scratch excessively and has NO red spots or patches anywhere. Just these stupid specks every now and then. I think I'll have to take him to ask about his eyes and ears and mention the specks. Our vet is a 36.00 office call and I'm on a tight budget, so I'll have to wait til next week. I was hoping that because he is acting fine and has no sores, that I could gather more information before I take him in.
