Signs of Pet Allergies
Pets experience allergies much like humans, with symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe distress. Common signs of allergies in pets include:
- Biting or chewing at the skin
- Excessive licking of feet, legs, or abdomen
- Frequent ear infections
- Hair loss or changes in coat texture
- Recurring skin infections
- Hives or red patches on the skin
- Chronic anal sac issues
Seasonal or Environmental Triggers
Notice these symptoms more in spring or fall? Pollen, mold, or dust might be the culprit. In-home irritants like scented sprays, cleaning products, or even smoke can also trigger allergic reactions in pets.
Diagnosing Pet Allergies
Diagnosing allergies requires careful evaluation and testing. Here’s what you can expect during your visit to Mill Creek Animal Clinic
- Physical Exam – A thorough check of your pet’s skin, ears, and overall health.
- Testing – Skin or hair samples may be collected to rule out infections or parasites.
- Allergy Testing – Your veterinarian may recommend additional diagnostic tests to pinpoint allergens.
Treatment Options for Pet Allergies
While allergies cannot be cured, they can be effectively managed. Our tailored treatment plans may include:
- Oral medications to alleviate itching and reduce inflammation.
- Topical therapies such as medicated shampoos or ointments.
- Injectable antigen therapy for long-term relief.
- Dietary changes if a food allergy is suspected.
Each pet’s treatment plan is customized based on their symptoms, triggers, and overall health. Early intervention can prevent complications like chronic infections or respiratory issues.
