Why does my dog have a mouth rash, red ears, and an eyelid rolling in?

Question

My dog has some sort of rash on his mouth below his nose, he gets this weird thing where his bottom eyelid will flip inward and it is watery and gooey (clear). He will also often have red ears on the inside. He does not seem to be bothered by any of these although he does blink or try to shut his eye that does the inward flip on the bottom eyelid. Most of these symptoms come and go but the eyelid one happens almost every morning. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 60 lbs

It sounds like poor Koa may have some degree of skin irritation or allergies. The eyelid rolling in is call entropion and can cause significant irritation to the eye itself if the hair is rubbing the surface of the eye. I would have Koa's skin and ocular changes addressed by a veterinarian. If his eyelid rolling in becomes a chronic issue, you may need to lubricate his eye regularly or have surgery performed to roll the eyelid outward.
