A most interesting talk by Dr Budgie Perchman was held in Pennington last Sunday. The topic was Allergies in Dogs – the Itchy Dog.
Allergens can affect the body through four ways: via the respiratory system through inhalation (lungs); via the digestion system through food/eating; via the skin; via the circulatory system.
Please be aware, whichever manner the allergen comes into contact with your animal, the symptoms do vary from itching, sneezing, coughing, hives, rash, swollen areas, hot spots, oily skin, difficulty breathing or swallowing, even vomiting and diarrhoea.
The most severe reaction is anaphylaxis which can be fatal. If your dog is suffering from any of the above, please contact your local vet urgently. Dr. Perchman pointed out that sadly, many allergic conditions are forever; there is no actual cure, but there are many ways to control and or minimise the problem.
