Treatments
Day 730

Notes:  Maverick is doing well on a combination of desmopressin eye drops and Concentrated Ophiopogon Formula from Jing Tang. We have definitely forgotten the eye drops for 3 days straight and his symptoms are controlled for about 48 hours. His hip dysplasia is completely managed with acupuncture. He was on a home cooked diet for about a year, which helped too, but I have had a human baby and he is back on a dry kibble (Purina JM) because I can barely manage to feed myself.

Diet is largely canned or kibble

Acupuncture points were stimulated
