I agree that it sounds like allergies. When she comes in from playing in the yard clean her feet with soap and water, this will rinse the pollen off and help if that's the problem (which it most likely is).
If that doesn't help then you should switch to a special diet (1 carb 1 protien) she could also have a food allergy.

it sort of looks like an hypersensitive reaction. i ought to propose seeing if there are any adjustments as pronounced above. it may additionally be a nutrients hypersensitive reaction. opposite to modern perception corn isn't probable the main organic nutrients hypersensitive reaction, it somewhat is pork. additionally environmental allergic reactions are extra organic than nutrients allergic reactions. i ought to propose taking her to the vet to be sure if it is in many cases a nutrients hypersensitive reaction or an environmental hypersensitive reaction. If it is on your place, i ought to propose hypersensitive reaction photos. If it is her nutrients place her on a constrained component nutrition. Meat allergic reactions are extra organic than grain allergic reactions. yet another ingredient it may be is separation nervousness. there's a ton of information on separation nervousness around the cyber web. indicators incorporate icing of paws, destroying concerns on an identical time as you're away, an in the different case potty cautioned puppy messing in the residence, and over exuberant reactions on an identical time as you come back living house.

It sounds like an allergy. I would advise seeing if there are any changes as mentioned above. It could also be a food allergy. Contrary to popular belief corn is not the most common food allergy, that is beef. Also environmental allergies are more common than food allergies. I would advise taking her to the vet to see if it is a food allergy or an environmental allergy. If it is in your home, I would advise allergy shots. If it is her food place her on a limited ingredient diet. Meat allergies are more common than grain allergies.
Another thing it could be is separation anxiety. There is a ton of information on separation anxiety across the web. Symptoms include icing of paws, destroying things while you are away, an otherwise potty trained dog messing in the house, and over exuberant reactions when you come home.

She is having an allergic reaction to something in your home, or something you are feeding her..so you will have to backtrack and figure out what has changed right before her allergic reaction started happening and change whatever that is.

Sounds like your dog is having an allergic reaction to something.
Most allergies are environment related. Have you changed laundry detergent, used anything new on the carpet/furniture, etc? It could also be pollens or something on the lawn.
Have you changed her food? Many dogs are allergic to corn and most of the cheaper dog foods either have corn and other grains in them or are based on corn.
Try to eliminate any possible allergens and see if she gets better. Do her ears or paw pads smell like beer? If so she probably has a yeast infection and might need to go to the vet.

Take the dog to the vet, sounds like mange. They're little parasite type things, the vet will test for it and give you antibiotics.
