It sounds like Ryder is having a problem with allergies. This could be related to the environment, food or contact allergy. The redness could also be the result of an infection. I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian to begin determining the cause and treat an allergies. Sometimes an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for pets will help. Changing all bowls to metal or ceramic, as well as cleaning all bowls and toys on a weekly basis may also help. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
