My 10 month old German Shepherd female has crusty eyes and blisters around her eyes. She rubs her face in her bed and in blankets and barks and growls. Is it allergies from melting snow? How do I help her?

Oh goodness. The skin around Sophie’s eyes looks infected and painful. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. She likely needs antibiotic therapy and maybe some topical medication to soothe it as well. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
