2. Allergies
Dogs have external deworming and allergies, which can also cause skin itching, and may also cause symptoms such as redness, irritability, and tears. It is recommended that the owner pay attention to observation. If the dog finds the above symptoms, he or she needs to stop the deworming medicine he or she is using immediately and take the dog to the pet hospital for desensitization injections.

Therefore, the owner can check whether the dosage of deworming the dog is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, he or she needs to consult a pet doctor in time and choose the appropriate dosage to deworm the dog again
