My dog has eye allergies. Will it be a lifelong issue? Can she breed?

Question

I have a 3 year old bitch with a skin problem round her eyes which looked like Mange. A skin scrape revealed an allergy to grass trees and some weeds. After this I had a holistic report which suggested a similar diagnosis and she was put on a holistic remedy 2 drops on her tongue in a morning and in the evening, Ide like your opinion on this and if the problem is likely to be a lifetime issue and from a breeding point of view would this affect any of her litter, Images show gradual improvent.

If the allergic condition is improving, you should continue with the same protocol as prescribed by your veterinarian. You may also want to consider a food elimation trial because if Bonnie is allergic to environmental factors she may also have food allergies. If the condition recurs or worsens, medications such as steroids, Atopica or Cytopoint may be considered. As for breeding, allergic individuals are more likely to give birth to puppies who have the same ailment.
