Raider Visits UW Vet Hospital

Raider spent a couple hours at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Hospital in Madison on Wed Sept 5th. He has been fighting a summer long issue with his eyes. The doctors determined he has low Schirmer Tear Test and mucopurulent accumulation in both eyes called "Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca" a fancy way of saying the eye is dry. He will be starting on the medication Tacrolimus ophthalmic ointment in a couple days along with daily eye rinsing and Opitixcare eye ointment. This treatment will probably continue daily for the rest of his life.
