My dog has severe skin problems and eye discharge. What's happening?

Isabella needs to be examined by the veterinarian today. Signs like this are concerning for a scratch on the eye or something trapped in the eye. These conditions are not only very painful but they can also get worse quickly. She also needs to wear an elizabethan collar at all times to stop any rubbing. Have her examined quickly so she is out of pain and gets the correct treatment.

It sounds like there are a few things going on with Izzy. It sounds like she has a bad ear infection and may also have a skin infection. This cannot be treated at home, you have to take her into a vet asap.

This could be caused by a couple of different things, and unfortunately, it's not possible to tell exactly what it is from the picture. It could be an infection, glandular cyst, or a type of skin cancer. Given that Isabelle is a light-colored dog and is older, I would want to rule-out skin cancer as the cause, because this could get much worse if not treated promptly. In order to get an accurate diagnosis, a vet will need to examine this and do some testing. They can also give some medication to control infection and/or inflammation. This is not an emergency, but it would be good to take her to the vet within the next day or two. I hope that helps and Isabella gets better soon.

Izzy's eye is extremely bad and this is now a medical emergency. Without seeing her in person, I can't say what is causing this issue but she could go blind without immediate veterinary attention. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

Oh no poor Belinda! She could have a foreign body in her eye or a severe eye infection. Unfortunately I’m not sure what you mean by her “eye’s skin,” but I’m wondering if you are referrring to the outer layer of her eye. If that’s what you mean, she could have an ulcer in her eye. The symptoms you are describing are extremely severe and constitute a medical emergency. She has to see a vet now or she could risk losing vision in that eye forever. Please take her into a vet immediately.

The dry areas on Ivy's back could be from a skin infection, or it could be due to allergies. The discharge fro her eye could be due to an eye infection. Any eye infection has to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take her into a vet today.

Poor girl. If she is a young dog, I would be highly suspicious of demodex mites or scabies. You will have to get her seen by your vet for proper testing of her skin and then medication to help resolve not only the underlying issue, but the secondary skin infection she has. A short course of antibiotics will be needed no matter what, and that requires a prescription from your vet. I do hope that your furry friend Zoey is able to resolve her skin condition soon! Best wishes and take care.
