Dog Keeps Itching Eye. One of the symptoms of this is a hot, red, itchy skin rash. The affected eye or eyes should be washed immediately with cold water or saline and your dog should be taken to your vet.
Itchy eyes or allergies can also have the dog continuously pawing and scratching their eyes which can cause a corneal laceration. Among the most common causes for compulsive dog licking, chewing, or scratching behaviors are fleas, ticks, and mites. A recurring itch, certainly one outside of pollen season, should be viewed as a symptom of an inflamed dog, an immune system in overdrive, heating up.
