The team at Alexander Animal Hospital can help you determine if your pet has allergies.
What should you do when your pet has allergies? Your pet pal can be allergic to several things, such as grass, pollen, flowering trees, and mold. Instead of respiratory symptoms, skin-related problems can also arise. The team at Alexander Animal Hospital can help you determine if your pet has allergies.
Look Out for These Allergic Symptoms
Since allergic dermatitis (skin inflammation) is the typical immune response to allergens, you should know that your pet can experience numerous of these symptoms:
- Head shaking
- Red skin or ears
- Patchy fur
- Unpleasant odor
- Occasional coughing, sneezing, or runny nose
- Extreme, non-stop itchiness
- Rubbing against furniture or carpet
Treating Pet Allergies
You can determine if your pet has allergies once you focus on managing symptoms. Because allergies are incurable, our staff can help your pet pal with a treatment plan to keep him as comfortable as possible. Before moving forward, it’s necessary to rule out other itching triggers like bacterial infections, parasites, potential thyroid issues, or food reactions.
When Your Pet Has Allergies
Moreover, observing your pet suffering from the symptoms can be disheartening. However, if you determine that your pet has allergies, please help your furry best friend by completing the following:
- Keep your best friend clean with a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo or rinse. This approach will help to wash away environmental pollen and soothe itchy skin.
- Don’t neglect to wash your pet’s paws every time they enter your house to minimize the spread of allergens on the furniture, floors, and bedding.
- Also, always vacuum and dust your home and filter or purify the air. Make sure to utilize pet-friendly cleaning products.
