My dog has severe allergies, dry skin, swollen eye. What should I do?

Question

Oz has allergies and his body doesn’t fight against them it helps the allergens, he scratch’s and chews on himself all the Tim his skin is dry and flakes off. We feed him grain free food, it salmon, sweet potato and peas. He gets Zyrtec and we spray him down with an antibacterial spray multiple times a day, his eye is now swollen almost shut, what can I do?

Oz needs to see a veterinarian. He may have an eye ulcer now if his eyes are swollen shut. He also needs medication for allergies besides just Zyrtec. There are pills or an injection that your veterinarian can use to help. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
