Angry Allergy or something else: Confused

I don't know that from what type of disease(allergy), my dog Clinton is suffering. The symptoms he is showing from last 3-4 days are -
1. Hardening of skin around the joints in front legs.
2. Redness between paws(all four legs) & joints of back legs.
3. Conjunctivitis(searched the exact name on internet).
4, Redness around his lips.

The vet had given him medicine but no their is no progress in his condition.
The only +ve sign at the moment is that he is taking his food properly & his digestive system is also good.

Tomorrow, I am going to take him to another vet. Hopping, he will get well soon.

One more thing I would like to tell here is that it is not the first time that he is suffering from this disease. It had been for around 4-5 months that he is suffering from these symptoms.

I had taken him to 3 different vets in last four months. Every time, the vet gave him some shots & sprays. When everything seems to be all right & it appears that he had recovered from the disease, the symptoms appears again. This had happened at least 4 times(that,s why I changed 3 vets).

I am really not understanding what type of disease it is??

Looking forward for some help !

I have no idea as to your Clinton's problem, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along with some suggestions for you. Hope that your boy finds some relief soon.

Do you know what drugs have been used in trying to treat this?

It really sounds like it could be something in the environment causing it. I hope your dog will get rid of it soon!

Yesterday, I took Clinton to another vet & he said that he is suffering from fungal infection. He gave him 2 shots & tablets. He also give him a syrup ( Multistar Pet).
Hope he will get well soon.
