My dog has red, pus-filled, bleeding, itchy skin around its eyes — what is it?
Pus and bleeding around a dog's eyes may be pyoderma from bacterial infection, or fungal or parasite infection.

Before applying medicine, clean the pus around the area, disinfect with diluted hydrogen peroxide or iodine, then apply the appropriate ointment or oral medication.

Based on the photos and description, the symptoms are mainly considered a secondary mixed bacterial infection after mite infestation.

If mites and bacteria are confirmed, medicated baths plus topical or oral medication are generally recommended.
