Im totally not a dog expert, and i dont know anything about dog care. But there was this little white dog (i dont know the specie sorry, but i think it looked like a little poodle). we just met a friend and the dog. It had something red around its eyes and it sneezed and itched itself. Does this sound like and allergy or some parasites. Again i dont know anything about dogs but if this is a sign of anything like a disorder or anything i would love to know so i can informe the owners about it :veryhappy:

Sometimes white dogs can have "tear stains" around their eyes, like this

. I can't remember what it's from, but it may be something about the pigment in their tears/when they blink? Idk for sure.

The itching and sneezing could be normal, or a sign of fleas or something, how much did the dog do it?

Hmm, I would just kindly inform the owners, say something like, "Hey, I noticed your dog (who is super cute by the way!) has a little bit of red around their eyes, and was itching for a slightly longer amount than normal! I just wanted to let you know in case it was something serious :) "

I'm sure the owners are likely aware, but if you are concerned, you can just mention the symptoms you saw. "I don't know if this is normal, but I noticed Mitzy was sneezing and seemed a bit itchy. I just wanted you to be aware in case it's outside of her normal behavior"

 

Dogs rarely sneeze from allergies, it's more likely to just be nasal irritation, but some infections or other things could cause it too. Itching can be any number of issues, from just having an itch to parasites like fleas or mange, or yes, allergies. The red eye might be something called cherry eye, a congenital condition that requires a surgical fix and which the owners are likely aware of.

thanks. I was just a bit worried if it could be something serious, but i will inform them. Also i was just worried cause they´re from Ukraine and countries like those (poland especially) tend to have very bad pet care and poland also sells a lot of sick dogs with many diseases (sadly) but thanks for the help :-)

Both options are possible. You need to give the dog for examination. It's just that you won't be able to find anything specific for your situation on the Internet. When my dog had some strange behavior, I didn't immediately pay attention. Because of my negligence, she had a minor stroke and developed a nervous tic. The doctor advised me to buy CBD oil for her at denverdispensaries.net to calm this tic. Also, in addition to this, he prescribed a large number of medications. I still blame myself that I ignored her oddities earlier she stopped living a whole life.

I think it's still an allergy. My dog had a similar one.

Bro, if this dog has owners, then they probably know about it and if there really is some kind of infection or allergy, then they are already treating it. In fact, the reasons may be different, absolutely different. Dogs rarely show signs of allergies, they rarely sneeze, because of the fur, redness on the skin is not visible. Perhaps it's irritation of the nasal mucosa, or as you said, a reaction to parasites. In general, dogs have such a reaction to various stimuli, for example, fleas. Here https://happiestdog.com/paws-and-snout-premium you can see a balm that helps to cope with such problems. Advise its owners if you want.
