My dog’s lower eyelid has been red, swollen, and peeling for days; cheek and arm also red with a scabbed wound and hair loss

At home keep the area dry, clean discharge, use a Wood's lamp to rule out fungus, feed hypoallergenic food, avoid salty oily food, and apply iodine and erythromycin eye ointment, plus fish oil or lecithin for coat recovery.

Common: 1) unbalanced diet (too oily/salty/fatty) → low-salt hypoallergenic prescription food, more water, vitamins. 2) blocked nasolacrimal duct → hospital test, surgery to open (recurs). 3) viral disease (calicivirus, herpes) or chlamydia/mycoplasma/Bordetella → respiratory panel + treatment. 4) foreign irritation (dust, ingrown lashes) → eye specialist.
What medicine is best for a dog’s inflamed ear?
The right ear medicine depends on the pathogen. Bacterial infection alone: anti-inflammatory ear drops (e.g., EarClean, Epi-Otic alternatives, EarCare). Fungal (often Malassezia) causing odor: use a gentle ear cleanser (e.g., Epi-Otic, boric acid drops) to flush debris (no cotton swabs; use cotton/gauze), then antifungal drops (e.g., Aurizon); often secondary bacteria—combine with EarClean. If unsure, get otoscopy at a vet. Keep the collar on during treatment; feed light, hypoallergenic food to reduce oil buildup.
