87GT Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I noticed last night my dog has puffy white skin around his eyes and his mouth. I have no clue why. We took him off innova puppy food and moved him to adult food a few days ago. Also last week we started him on Vector 3d (i think) flea and tick growth regulator. Same concept as front line. I gave him a little bit of Benadryl he had from a previous Rx last night and a little more today. The puffy went away from around his mouth. His eye is not as bad as the picture below. He doesn't seem to notice it. He isn't scratching or pawing or crying at all. Any ideas what this could be? http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/9228/dozer.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'm not big into pets, but it could be super aids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 is it puffy, or is he losing hair around the eye? If its puffy, it may be an infection. Its its hair-loss from rubbing, could be allergies.. talk to vet before changing anything up, or you may REALLY not know what caused the puffiess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99BlownYellowGT Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I bet it is the flea medication....go back to the vet.Or Other question...is the puppy and adult food the same formula? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 The ingredients are a little different. He has been on innova puppy since he was done feeding off his mom. He is on adult little bites now. http://www.innovapet.com/product_line.asp?id=1672 http://www.innovapet.com/product_line.asp?id=502 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The protien and carb sources are the same in both formulas. I really think its a reaction to the flea medicine. Is this the 1st topical flea treatment you have used?

It is weird it took a few days to bother him but weirder things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 The Dr. says it's probably just an allergy, give more benedryl over the weekend, and take it to the vet if it isn't better by monday. Benedryl = 1mg per 1 lb up to twice a day, or whatever you are comfortable with under that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 WOAH WOAH WOAH.. BEnedryl on in RECALL right now .. http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/page.jhtml?id=/include/news_july.inc&utm_campaign=TYLENOL%20EST%20Branded%202010&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=Mcneil%20Product%20Recall&utm_term=johnson%20and%20johnson%20recall http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100708/ap_on_bi_ge/us_johnson___johnson_recall_impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Our boxer had the exact same thing after we first got her. Never found out what caused it but the vet said it was definitely an allergy. Bendryl for two doses cured ours right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, that's good to go. As far as the flea prevention, did you use the oil drops onthe back? I cannot stand that shit nor do I ever suggest using it. It's been proven to cause many problems with many animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never researched it, and as my dogs have gotten older, i notice that my one dog has consistant dermatitas after a doseage of it, but i dont want fleas.. and it works.. so i am conflicted.

Then use sentinal heaetworm and flea preventative pill combo. Ask your vet about it. And my fiancée was doubtful it was from the flea product because that isn't a common reaction and especially since there were positive results from benedryl (And yes, we got engaged last weekends ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
