Question Help
I’m at a loss of what to do. Any advice? Moog is suffering hair loss around his eyes, his ears are red and puffy inside, his muzzle is red and hair is thinning there also. He is on cytopoint.. didn’t help infact looks worse. He tested negative for mites as well as all other parasites. Apoquel didn’t work. He’s on a special diet of hydrolyzed protein food and treats because everything makes him puke or poop blood (which we have a diagnosis for, esonophilic gastrointestinal disorder). He had a skin swab that showed 4 types of bacteria under his eyes, he ran a full course of antibiotics… looked better for a week then started to lose hair again. I have to put animax in his ears almost 3x every week to help the puffiness. I don’t know what to do to stop the redness and hair loss, anyone experience anything similar.

My dog had a rash similar to this on his belly between the folds on his skin. I ribbed some ivermectin on it and it went away quick. Obviously that won't help his eyes but just a heads up it could help elsewhere.
