A question like that would be hard, if not imposable to answer without going back and fourth asking a whole series of different questions. I would recommend that you give Dr. Wright a call. She will be able to ask all the right questions and hopefully give you the answers you need. You can find her email address and phone number on the bottom of this page.

thank you for your thought and info, my guy seems to be fine, i watched him for several hours and i THINK he was trying to avoid the flys. it might sound stange but when he had his head hanging down to the ground his face was free of them. with our wet and sticky weather the flies are very bad. it is great that i can come to this board for some other input, thank you all.
