I have noticed his eyes have been gooier lately and I'm hoping that the antihistamine will clear that up, too. Gonna bathe him in hibiclens in the am, too, just to be sure.
Glad he is doing better . I kinda feel like these issues will continue, though, and/or return until you figure out his allergies. If OTC antihists actually work on him, it's a wonderful option...it's just very rare that the OTC meds work well for allergy dogs. Otherwise, you're looking at Apoquel, Atopica, Temaril P, steroid, or allergy shots. My Marcel is on Atopica and it works very well.
