I have a male here that back in the spring would have mattered up nasty eyes every morning after hunting the night before even noticed a change in his hunting,his tracking etc his sense of smell.Tried allergie meds for pets from walmart,they help for the first week then didnt phase him.Was wondering if anyone else experinced this and what took care of the problem,thanks for reading.

My old male does the same thing spring and early summer. Best thing I found to help him was Visine Allergy eye drops from Wal-Mart. Not for pets just the regular kind like me and you use.

Give the dog a 24 hour Claritan tablet. I did this all last summer and it helps a lot. You can get the generic ones at Wal-Mart which are a lot cheaper.

I use Benadryl also on one of my dogs. Seems to help.

I hope you don't mind me jumping your thread, but, its along the same lines. The Black dogs have skin issues/allergies that seem to be worse with summer. Have you noticed the allergy meds helping with any skin issues?

Our male dog was the exact same way, a couple weeks ago. His eyes were matted almost shut with green slimy stuff, he couldn't bark very loudly, and everytime he ate, he would hack and gab. It kind of worried me and I took him to the vet. Vet said he had no fever, no worms, lungs and heart sound perfect. But he didn't like the looks of his eyes. He said he had allergies and a sinus infection. He gave him amoxicillin and said use a benadryl everyday. He is all cleared up. My husband gives him honey for his throat sometime to clear it up a bit, helps his bark. I've not tried clariton but I just might.

As for the rash, one of our dogs has that, but he is just young (7months) I wasnt sure what to give him either. I know a friend of ours his dog had it and they gave him pills but he can't remember what is was for.
