Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | 2 years and 11 months old | 88 lbs

Hi Dr., I have a Labrador Retriever, Netherland Bloodline. and now he is almost 3 years. Since last 2-3 months noticed some redness around his eyes and mouth and testicles, I met a vet and shown him. That doctor treated for Rash by 3-time injection course with 10 days of gaps. the 1st course reduced a bit, but he tried with same treatment again. Testicle redness, around the mouth and around eye redness was reduced, but not perfectly done. would it possible to advise us what we can do?

Poor Kane! If the injections didn't work, it may be time to try a different medication through your vet (as you didn't mention what injection was given), as well as a possible diet change to rule out allergies to a particular food ingredient. Blood work or an allergy test may also be useful in finding out what is triggering the underlying cause such as an illness, autoimmune disease or allergy. As environmental allergens can also play a part, wiping down Kane's fur and paws when he comes in from outside may also help give some relief.
