Don't forget, I didn't see in the article a mention on Kennel cough...sometimes cold in dogs will cause this. i did a quick look over and maybe they referred to dogs cold with another term. But, i didn't want to leave that one out.

I also think just being basically low to the ground can cause our breed to have constant eye irritation, especially if you live in a dusty climate with lots of wind.
