My dog has an eye blister and allergies. Should I take her to the vet?

Question

Hi, my husband and I are pretty sure our dog has allergies. She scratches at her eyes a lot and sneezes very often. We didn’t really think much of it until today when we got home she had some sort of blister on her eye. She isn’t acting strange and she’s eating perfectly normal. Should we be concerned about this? Should we take her to the vet? Thank you in advance!

Poor Sophie! Yes, I recommend to have her examined. The veterinarian may prescribe an eye drop to put on that blister. While you are there, discuss treatments for allergies including antihistamines and omega 3 fatty acids. Go ahead and have Sophie wear an elizabethan collar to prevent her from rubbing the eye which may make it worse. make sure the gently wipe away and discharge with a moistened, clean cotton ball. Although allergies are the most common cause, the veterinarian will check her for other lesions which could indicate an autoimmune condition which causes similar lesions. Best of luck.
