Dog Allergies???

Ok. so I am a first time dog owner.....as an adult. Had dogs growing up. My dog is just 1 yr old. Around 7 months old, he developed something commonly called "puppy strangles" or the medical term" Juvenile Cellutis". The disease affected his eyes...terribly! After 3-4 months he was better. Now, all of a sudden, we have noticed in the morning his eyes are weepy...kind of wet, oozying. So, we were thinking....On No, he never got rid of puppy strangles....so we went to the vet. The vet believes it is allergies! Who would of thought!

We are now giving him meds called "Neopolydex Opthamic". And it seems to be doing the trick. I never knew that dogs can get allergies. I never allergies growing up as a kid, but I do know I have them now. So who knows...maybe dogs can get them!

Just wondering....anyone else out there with Dogs that have alleries?
