My Yorkie has itchy skin, swollen eyes, discharge. Is she sick?

Question

Hi. My dog is 8 year old purebred Yorkie. She is having few symptoms: swollen/puffy eyes, itchy/dry skin, and black around vaginal area with a bit white puss. Also I have noticed slightly darker skin in mostly itchy areas. I'm not sure what's happening to her and would like to know if she is just getting old, or if she is starting to get sick. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 8 years and 7 months old | 5 lbs

Poor Lillie, those eyes look very uncomfortable. It is possible there may be mites, a bacterial or yeast infection causing such signs and your vet may wish to do some tests to identify any underlying factors such as hormonal disease. I recommend you full check up as soon as possible
