His belly has broken out and is super red. He keeps licking in that area
I'm sorry to hear about your dog's skin issues. The redness, scabbing, and excessive itching on his underbelly could be due to several factors, such as allergies, a skin infection, or even parasites like fleas, despite being on prevention.
To help manage this at home, you might want to start by preventing your dog from licking the affected area, as this can exacerbate the irritation. An Elizabethan collar, or cone, can be quite effective in this regard. Additionally, gently clean the area with a mild, pet-safe antiseptic solution to help prevent infection, and ensure you dry it thoroughly afterward.
It's also important to monitor the skin for any changes, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, as these could indicate an infection. Reflect on any recent changes in your dog's diet or environment that might have triggered an allergic reaction. Sometimes, switching to a hypoallergenic diet can be beneficial.
Regarding the eye issues, make sure your dog's eyes are clear and free of discharge. If you notice redness or discharge, it may require veterinary attention.
If your dog's condition doesn't improve or worsens, I recommend consulting a veterinarian. They can conduct tests to determine the exact cause and provide the appropriate treatment. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
