Charlie’s Health

Charlie is in great health overall for his age. He will be 12 years old in September. However, he has just recently begun to develop some health problems. The main problem right now is dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis sicca. He is on artificial tears, Optiimmune and, Neomycin/Polymyxin for this condition. He also has developed a few skin anomalies but these are no big deal.

Overall, he is the same old dog I’ve always loved. He gets on top of me as I lay on the couch and it does not take long for him to fall asleep. He follows me everywhere. He licks water off my feet when I get out of the shower—do all doxies do this?

He likes to take walks though isn’t quite as strong or as fast as he use to be. I’ve recently shortened his walks. His muzzle is getting more white.

While on the computer, he is often behind me laying and/or napping on his blanket on the floor.
