I’m at a loss of what to do. Any advice? Moog is suffering hair loss around his eyes, his ears are red and puffy inside, his muzzle is red and hair is thinning there also. He is on cytopoint.. didn’t help infact looks worse. He tested negative for mites as well as all other parasites. Apoquel didn’t work. He’s on a special diet of hydrolyzed protein food and treats because everything makes him puke or poop blood (which we have a diagnosis for, esonophilic gastrointestinal disorder). He had a skin swab that showed 4 types of bacteria under his eyes, he ran a full course of antibiotics… looked better for a week then started to lose hair again. I have to put animax in his ears almost 3x every week to help the puffiness. I don’t know what to do to stop the redness and hair loss, anyone experience anything similar.

Hey yall! This is Moog, he is a Australian Cattle Dog, Staffordshire, American Pit Bull mix. He’s 1.5 years old. Poor Moog has been losing hair around his eyes since he was about 7 months old. He suffers from Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder and has lots of allergies. He is on a hydrolyzed protein diet (Royal Canin) because everything upsets his gut. It took a lot of testing to figure out how to treat the EGD but we are still struggling with hair loss and wondering if any other pitbull owners have any advice to treat the hair loss, dry skin, and redness. We did a skin swab and they found 4 types of bacteria which we treated with antibiotics, he’s been on cytopoint and apoquel (both he remains itchy during). I see lots of dry red skin around his mouth and eyes. Any input or tips would be helpful!! We just want our boy to be comfy.
