red bumps around eye that was also by her nose, consistent itching, paw biting, leg biting, bleeding
These symptoms could indicate a few potential issues.
One possibility is an allergic reaction, which might be triggered by environmental factors such as pollen, dust mites, or even certain foods. Another potential cause could be a parasitic infection, like fleas or mites, despite her being on flea and tick prevention. Additionally, skin infections, whether bacterial or fungal, could also be contributing to her discomfort.
First, give her a bath using a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo specifically designed for dogs. And Applying a soothing ointment or cream, such as those containing aloe vera or hydrocortisone, can help reduce itching and inflammation. Be sure to avoid her eyes when applying any topical treatments.
Even though she's on prevention, it's a good idea to thoroughly check her for any signs of fleas or ticks. Sometimes, these pests can still cause issues.
Ensure her bedding and living areas are clean and free from dust and other potential allergens. Regular vacuuming and washing her bedding can help.
Given that her symptoms have been ongoing for several months and seem to be causing significant discomfort, I recommend that you take Ruby to the vet and have her examined to determine the exact cause. They can perform tests to determine the exact cause of her symptoms and provide more targeted treatment.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
