Hi Daryl,

It’s definitely important to try and figure out the cause and elimination trials are the best way. If you had no problems keeping her out of the water, that would likely point to something in there causing the allergies. I would not be sold on an eye discharge being connected to a chicken allergy given her ears and skin are fine. It would be prudent to make sure there are no other eye problems with your veterinarian and that the chicken is just coincidental. If it is diagnosed to be allergies, there is an article entitled ‘Dealing With Your Pet’s Allergies’ I would encourage you to check out. Allergies can be a challenging problem so best of luck.
