04.12.2023 13:10
Pets can be more vulnerable to infections and various diseases when they are small and their immune systems are not as strong.
ADVICE.NEWS warns: If your puppy has allergies, you should understand this as soon as possible to ensure the safety of your pet.
Here are some signs that your puppy may be having allergic reactions.
Frequent itching and scratching
Allergies often manifest themselves as severe itching, causing the puppy to scratch a lot.
When our four-legged friends feel uncomfortable, they may scratch various parts of their body, including their ears, paws, face, and belly.
Constant scratching can lead to redness, irritation and even hair loss.
Skin problems
Allergic reactions can lead to skin problems such as rashes, hives, or inflamed patches.
You may notice redness, swelling, or bumps on your puppy's skin.
Their skin may appear dry, scaly, or even have sores due to excessive scratching.
Chronic ear infections
Allergies can contribute to recurring ear infections in puppies.
If you notice your puppy shaking his head, rubbing his ears against things, or having a foul odor coming from his ears, this could be a sign of an allergy-related ear infection.
Excessive sneezing and coughing
Just like people, puppies with allergies may experience sneezing or coughing fits.
If your puppy sneezes frequently, especially after exposure to certain environments or allergens, it may indicate an allergic reaction.
Watery or red eyes
Allergies can cause your puppy's eyes to become red, watery, or itchy.
You may notice that your puppy frequently rubs his eyes or face in an attempt to relieve discomfort.
Digestive problems
Allergies can also affect your puppy's digestive system.
They may experience diarrhea, vomiting, or frequent bouts of gastrointestinal upset, which may be accompanied by loss of appetite or changes in stool consistency.
