Mochi is now 38 weeks old, almost 9 months and 10.4 lbs. She has just switched from her Now Fresh Puppy kibble to Orijen Regional Red kibble. Dog food advisor gives Orijen Regional Red 5 stars. Reviews.com also give it a good rating. We are concerned about the high protein content, so we'll be observing closely. Mochi seems to really like Orijen.
We had to visit the vet about Mochi's eye. The vet said it's Cherry Eye, a common disorder often seen in young puppies. After an exam which included Fluor-i-strip, a diagnostic dye, to check for abrasions on the eye, she was prescribed TobraDex eye drops (antibiotic and corticosteroid). Hopefully, she can recover, otherwise, surgery is required. Dr. Google mentioned eye massage techniques to push the third eyelid back into place, but the vet didn't recommend this. Mochi seems fine other than a bit more tearing. Eye issue noticed June 27, eye drops started June 29.
