My dog’s eye area is red and crusted below – what’s wrong and what medicine should I buy?
Crusting around the eyes and nose needs cause-specific medicine. Dry cracked crusts may be mite skin disease - get a microscope exam, then deworm and use anti-mite injections. For allergy or bacterial crusts, clean with iodine and use a lysozyme or antibiotic spray 2-3 times daily. Use an Elizabethan collar, avoid grass, feed plain food, and deworm monthly.

Take it to a vet for a gut check; if mild, probiotics plus diet adjustment can recover.
