Hey guys....Ozzy has some porph. around his one eye.  It's just up top, above the eye. Everything else concerning the eye looks fine.  He's sneezing but he has sneezed since the day we brought him home.  Everything else is good too, like behaviour and appetite.  And with Zero's broke back and my daughter's asthma, I need to be VERY VERY sure if the vet is needed.  Or if this is a situation I can watch closely.  Thanks.

Has he cleaned it off yet? Did you notice it just after he woke up? If there are no other symptoms I would just keep an eye on him.
