Guest Anonymous Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I have a 3 month old presa canario. his lower eyelids get very red--not the eye, just the lower lid. the vet said it is conjunctiva and gave me drops. the drops help--but only a little. he also said i could try 12.5mg of benadryl, but it makes him sick to his stomach. he doesnt itch his eyes, and the dont seem to bother him, but I want to "nip this in the bud" if you know what I mean. i think the allergies are atopic--stuff in the air (like pollen, grass, etc.). I feed him raw and have so for a while, and the allergies only popped up recently, so its not the food. his eyelids look like the description of ectropy, but the vet said it wasnt that. I bathe him about once every 7-10 days. does anyone have any suggestions? Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
