bostons with eye bumps

19 15:26:01

Question
my 1 year old boston has developed 3 little bumps around left eye. they are almost clear in color ( little darker) and on the outside of his eye...the skin area...they dont seem to bother him but wonder what they are or what i should do. the vet changed his dog food about a month ago due to allergys that affected his ears. he is eating nutro for sensitive skin.........any help?

Answer
Hi Hallie.  Without actually seeing the bumps, I'm thinking that they can be in connection to his food allergies, or an allergic reaction to certain plants or pollen - this time of year, it is not uncommon for dogs (like people) to experience allergic reactions.  I would keep an eye on them, and check with my vet if they get worse, or if they seem to bother him, to insure it is not anything serious.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer your question, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.  Sincerely, Penny D.
