My dog is itching and has white eye discharge. Is it allergies?

Question

My dog is constantly itching and now has white ooze coming from her left eye only. She is a 3 year old lab mix. She has been an itchy dog since she was about 1 year old. I feed her Rachel Ray dog food & add olive oil to it sometimes. I give her baths with oatmeal shampoo twice a month or so. No fleas in sight. Petco groomers say that her skin is not dry. But every time I look over at her she's either itching or licking. Never same spot. Now left eye only is oozing white gunk. Help! Thanks! :).

It sounds like she has allergies and needs medications to control her itching. Have your vet take a look at her to determine the best medication for her. She may need an antihistamine, corticosteroid, or a new medication called Apoquel to help relieve the itch. She may also need eye medications to treat the discharge that she is having.
