I can't say it was the food, it was the only thing different, and it coincided so exactly with the eye condition that I've very suspicious. A real test would be to introduce the food again, but it took longer than a week for his eyes to completely dry up after the food was discontinued. While the brown gunky drainage went away within a couple of days, the tears continued 5 more days. I just can't make myself give it to him again, but this would be a more conclusive test. A real scientist would manipulate the food back and forth several times to see if there was any true correlation.

Here are the ingredients of Blue Wilderness: See if you notice anything. I know its not the carrots, flaxseed, or blueberries.
