A part from treating with effective and appropriate prescription medications, some supplement based on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and vitamins could be beneficial. Coatex could be a good product.

Hello. Honestly, I recommend either Nordic Naturals or Bayer Free Form Snip Tips. Both of these are highly recommended by veterinary dermatologists, too. You will need to call other veterinarians to see who carries Cytopoint. It is an excellent product & most of my clients love the convenience of only needing a simple injection once ever 6-8 weeks to control their pet's allergies. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It sounds like you may need a prescription strength medicine to help your dog become more comfortable. Your vet will need to examine your dog to ensure they are otherwise healthy (and to start a valid client/ patient/ vet relationship to legally dispense medicine) and then will decide which medicine would work best. There are newer products such as Apoquel and Cytopoint which may be appropriate. Your vet may also suggest an eye ointment to apply. You are welcome to request a consultation with one of the Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach veterinarians to prepare for your vet visit.

It looks like it could be a contact allergy of some kind. You can try the following: 1. This topical steroid/antibiotic spray. Apply three times daily until the skin is back to normal. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=135244 2. Chlorpheniramine tablets (antihistamine). He can have 1-2 tablets by mouth every 8-12 hours. Will help with an allergic reaction. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=113389 Both are prescription items but I am happy to authorize them for you if you purchase them through the above think. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I would recommend the following to see if you get improvement without having to get these allergy shots. These can be quite beneficial and I've seen many dogs on these alone for allergy relief. 1. Douxo Calm PS shampoo 2. Essential 6 spot on by dermoscent 3. Krillex krill chews 4. Redonyl ultra soft chews I hope this helps! You can also use an antihistamine such as Benadryl along with all of these if the symptoms are still bad. ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ )
