Hello, Aya has 5 months, she has problem with the eyes, redness around the eye and brown spots above the nose. Her mood is good as always, she is playful and she eats and drinks regularly. Can you please tell me what should this be? Is this some skin problem? Thank you very much in advance

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m having a hard time seeing the issue with the nose. The redness in the corner of her eyes could be from allergies, allergic reaction or irritation from excessive discharge. I would have your Vet check her out. She just may need a course of antihistamines and/or steroids. Hopefully this is a one time thing. If it reoccurs then she may have environmental or food allergies. I hope this helps and I wish you and Aya the best!
