What is going on with my Siberian husky?

[Guest]

I have taken her to the vet and the vet was not able to give me a clear answer to what is going on with my Siberian husky. She said it was not allergies, but it could be fleas. She said she seen two fleas on her but I’ve searched her and don’t see any fleas.

None of my other 3 huskies have any of these symptoms and they all eat the same food. I have her on some dog zinc chewables and fish oil.

I have her in a cone because she will scratch around her eyes.

Fleas can cause rashes as dogs can become allergic to the saliva. If she sees fleas they're probably just doing a very good job at hiding as they usually do. Try flea treatments on the dogs and flea carpet sprays to see if it improves.

Even wash all bedding.

Don't miss: I have a 1 year old husky x malamute.. got a limp

As a groomer I've seen flea dermatitis do this. But I will say the eye is a strange place. Make sure your dogs are on a flea preventative and then start ruling out allergies. Fleas are hard to find on a double coated dog, like huskies.

It's once I get they wet in the tub that they start to dance and be seen, the shampoo makes them come to the surface of the coat and be seen because it starts to suffocate them.

But allergies to food and grass/flora, and or an auto immune disease like "Cushing's" centers around the eyes/skin/ears.

Id get a blood panel done if flea preventation doesn't resolve this

See a doggie dermatologist. They also specialize in allergies.
