My dog coughed, got a ceftriaxone shot, then came home with swollen eyes, head shaking, ear scratching, lethargy, and vomiting yellow fluid. Is this an allergy?

Frequent ear scratching; examination shows red spots and papules in the ear canal and hair loss around the ear base, with a large amount of black earwax on a cotton swab
Based on your description, the red spots and papules in the canal, hair loss at the ear base, and heavy black earwax suggest ear mite infection. Ear mites cause dark discharge and intense itching with head shaking. For mites, clean the canal and apply mite medication until cured; antibiotic ear drops may be needed to prevent secondary infection.
If Your Cat Keeps Scratching Its Ears and Biting Its Tail, Does It Have Skin Disease?

At first a small bump at the ear base, I applied iodine, the rabbit kept scratching it, broke the skin, then scabbed; later a lot of fur fell off there, gave balance powder for days with no regrowth, looked dry but no dandruff; a few days ago found dandruff on the neck, after using a skin tonic the bald ear spot started getting dandruff too, worse than the photo. (Green circle is the neck dandruff spot.)
Hello, from the photo you uploaded, the rabbit's symptoms are very likely caused by a fungal infection. For this situation, shave the fur at the affected area clean, then clean and disinfect the site with iodine; after cleaning, use an antifungal medication such as bifonazole or ketoconazole cream. If the symptoms are severe, the rabbit may also need oral medication. During treatment, put a (homemade) Elizabethan collar on the rabbit to stop it from scratching the area and worsening the infection.
