Billy and Mr. Miyagi
I was asked by my local shelter if I could take Billy because he had an eye problem and by my former vet, who works at another shelter, if I could take Mr. Miyagi, an older male who was found abandoned in a field. Billy was treated with at least three types of medicine that did not resolve the eye problem. It is believed that he might have a blocked tear duct. Mr. Miyagi was very healthy but he ended up with a head tilt that he was given antibiotics the same night he went to the pet ER. He was totally normal again three days later.

UPDATE 5-22-08: Mr. Miyagi died suddenly. The cause of his death is unknown ... he was scheduled for an x-ray to check for a stone or tumor. His current cage mate is Lucky.

After he started barbering the males when they got older, he was placed with Billy. However, they never fought.
