Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to an allergic reaction or it could even be an actual on going allergy to something like fleas, food or an allergen in the environment. Allergic reactions are usually treated with anti-histamine medications such as Benadryl and steroids. Cameron should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They could start therapy for this to see if it improves. In most cases it does improve and resolve and if no further exposures to the antigen occur, then this would not recur. Hopefully he does great! He is adorable! Good luck!

    Hello! It is quite possible that George is having an allergic reaction causing the bumps on the skin and swollen eye. Dogs sometimes react to insect bites (such as spider bites) or bee stings, and can develop symptoms like this.
    The diarrhea might not be related, but stil a concern!
    I would suggest taking George in to see his vet. They will likely be able to give some injections, or medications, to help him out with his symptoms!
