For many animals, medical management or changes in the diet are the main courses of therapy and can greatly
relieve allergy signs.
The most important part of
controlling allergy signs is to understand that allergies are an ongoing issue that will require lifelong management.
Your veterinarian can assist with the selection of the best diet to help eliminate
food allergy signs, but please do not add anything to those diets and that can invalidate the entire food trial.
Symptoms like a runny nose, rash and constant scratching as well as usual sneezing are examples
of allergy signs.
Classic allergy signs of sinus congestion, runny nose and sneezing, tearing and itchy eyes are caused by the activity of excess histamine.
Often removing the offending plant (if you can identify it) will resolve
contact allergy signs, but atopy is much more difficult to manage as the offending particles are airborne and may be from plants growing many metres from your property.
By only feeding these unique ingredients the pup should not have previously been sensitized and so any
food allergy signs should go away.
While your child may not be experiencing all of these symptoms at once, just having one of
the allergy signs is enough to set off some red flags.
In addition, allergy testing and immunotherapy (allergy shots) are often helpful in relieving your pet's
allergy signs; this therapy is also quite safe.
