How allergies manifest in dogs: these signs are a reason to be wary
Veterinarians regularly have to treat dogs suffering from allergies.
You can tell that your pet needs to be shown to a doctor by the following signs: the animal has red spots on its skin, it is experiencing severe itching, ulcers have appeared, there is an unpleasant odor coming from the fur and skin, and the eyes are red and there is discharge.
In addition, allergy symptoms also include diarrhea, vomiting and localized hair loss.
An alarming sign is if the dog shows hyperactivity or, conversely, is too lethargic.
What can cause an allergic reaction in a pet?
The first group of allergens includes parasite bites. Even if your dog does not have fleas, a parasite that accidentally jumped from a neighbor's dog can "cause a stir." If a flea manages to bite a dog, the saliva that gets into the body can cause irritation.
In addition, allergies to certain types of food are quite common.
Finally, allergens can lurk in the environment. These include pollen, mold, medications, cleaning products, and even the host.
