Why Dogs Scratch Their Eyes Constantly
Constant eye-scratching usually means irritation—ingrown lashes, inflammation, a foreign body, or periorbital skin disease. Find the cause at a vet and always use an Elizabethan collar to stop the scratching.

Red skin around a puppy's eyes can come from periorbital dermatitis, allergies, or irritants. Identify the cause—skin scrape, allergy testing, or eye wash—and always use an Elizabethan collar if the puppy scratches.

Red eyes, swollen face noticed 2-3 days; no food change, still playful, just early sleep; remote county no vet until weekend; what medicine

Skin disease needs type-specific treatment, not a one-size cure. Parasitic causes need deworming plus sprays; bacterial needs antibacterial agents and an Elizabethan collar; fungal needs antifungals like metronidazole or itraconazole.
Why Is Your Dog Scooting (Dragging Its Bottom) on the Floor?
A dog dragging its bottom usually means anal itching or pain — most often impacted or infected anal glands, intestinal parasites (tapeworms), perianal skin infection, or allergies. Signs like frequent licking, straining to defecate, or a red swollen anus point to anal-gland disease (express and apply an antibiotic ointment). White rice-like segments mean tapeworms (use a praziquantel dewormer). Rule out health causes before blaming boredom or anxiety.
Why Is My Cat’s Skin Red and Swollen?
Red, swollen, itchy, or balding patches that your cat keeps scratching are often a sign of skin disease, and some types can spread to people, so take it seriously. Common causes include allergies, which usually appear symmetrically with intense itch from food, pollen, dust mites, or contact with irritants; infections that enter through small scratches, such as bacteria causing hot, painful, pus-filled spots, fungi causing round hairless red rings that may glow green under a Wood's lamp and can infect humans, or parasites like mange and ear mites; and rare autoimmune issues like pemphigus or lupus that bring symmetric blisters and general signs. Before seeing a vet, put on an Elizabethan collar to stop scratching, switch to a single-protein hypoallergenic diet, remove suspected allergens, and check with a Wood's lamp in the dark: green glow suggests fungus, treat with ketoconazole ointment, while no glow allows antibacterial ointments like zinc oxide, erythromycin, or mupirocin after clipping, rinsing with saline, and disinfecting with iodine. For severe itch, chlorpheniramine can help. If it worsens or brings other symptoms, see a vet for tests, and add B vitamins and fish oil for skin immunity.
Dog Skin Redness and Hives: A Recovery Case
After a day outdoors, a dog came home with a large red, itchy rash on its belly—likely bacterial eczema or allergic dermatitis/hives. Left unchecked, such redness spreads fast and itches intensely. With an antimicrobial skin spray, zinc oxide ointment, and an oral antihistamine, the redness faded within a few applications. Catch it early and see a vet if it spreads.
