My Morkie has a sore on her face near her eye. Could it be allergies?

She could have an allergy, skin infection, or mites. If she is that itchy than she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can do a skin scrape, cytology, and/or culture, if needed, to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to treat. She may need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, corticosteroid, or other medications, depending on the diagnosis. Hope she feels better soon!

Poor guy. Yes this does seem to be a localized reaction and it could be to just about anything that has been newly introduced or even something Mork got into that he is having an allergic reaction to. I wouldn’t suspect this is caused by brushing his teeth too hard because this is his lip area that looks irritated. It’s best to visit your vet for some medication to help combat this reaction, especially if this area is bothering him and not improving on its own within a few days. I hope that Morks skin clears up soon! Best wishes and take care.

This is most likely a skin infection from the skin being moist all the time and unable to dry out. I would try using some medicated wipes twice a day in that area. I like dechra's miconahex wipes. This will help to dry the area out and get rid of the bacteria. If it isn't improving, I would have your vet take a look at him. He may need some oral antibiotics and a low dose of steroids to help clear it up. I hope this helps!

Without pictures it is difficult to say for sure what this could be. This may be due to allergies, a skin infection (fungal or bacterial), etc. I would recommend using the below products to start. These can all be found online quite easily or at your local pet store. If there is no improvement, I would recommend having Gracie examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Douxo PS Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 2. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent 4. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area twice daily until resolved 5. Welactin omega 3 fatty acid capsules for dogs.

That looks like it could be an infection, skin mites or perhaps ringworm (which humans can get). I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian if the lesion does not start getting better on it's own within the next few days. May sure he cannot rub the area and don't put anything on the area since it's so close to his eye. You can also have him examined sooner and not wait. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

It could be caused by an infection, ringworm, flea allergy, or mites. She really should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and best way to treat. Your vet can do a skin scrape or culture to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to clear it up. She may need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, or corticosteroid to help treat.

It could be allergies, and although allergies occur more frequently when dogs are a little older, some younger dogs can be affected too. Since the lesions are itchy parasites (such as demodex, etc.) and infection ( bacterial, fungal) need to ruled out as well. Since your guy is uncomfortable the best plan is to see you vet to test for the above so that the correct treatment is prescribed. If the lesions resolve and recur work up for allergy will likely be recommended. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
