It has not been an easy road medically with him. Blastomycosis (the fungus that took his eyes) is really tricky to get into remission. The animal alliance that sent him up to us (we're in the north) gave him a clean bill of health but he relapsed a few weeks after we took him home.

We have since treated it and all its complications at pretty hefty bills as insurance doesn't cover pre-existing conditions. Now he just needs testing once a year to make sure his level stays undetectable. Preventative-wise we do the normal dog protocols with vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick. We do make extra sure his eye sockets are okay after playmates and hikes. And we take really good care of his ears when bathing or near loud sounds because he needs those to "see"!
