Pet friends often ask questions about dog skin allergies in the group. Many pet friends use different methods or experiences, which can easily cause the questioner to fall into misunderstandings. For this reason, the editor specially recruited veterinarians to consult on this problem. Now, pet friends who need to know more about dog skin allergies are invited to take a look at the problem of dog skin allergies with the editor.

I really can’t tell what my dog’s allergen is. When my dog ​​had this problem, it was because he ate too much canned fish.

Let’s focus on the symptoms of skin allergies in dogs. Dogs may feel itchy, such as between their toes, nose, or inexplicable places on their body, and red spots may be visible on their belly. The dog will rub and lick randomly due to itchiness, breathe rapidly, and look very restless. This situation often occurs very suddenly without any warning. We think carefully about what the dog has eaten before. There may be some things that the dog usually does not eat, or there is reason to suspect that the dog has eaten something unusual. If this is the case, you can treat your dog according to the following methods.

Topical ointment: Any ointment used by humans to treat allergies will suffice. I usually use Dermatitis Ping. After applying it, the dog will feel cool and the itching symptoms will be relieved, and the dog's irritability will be significantly relieved. It is very effective for dogs with minor skin allergies. But the problem is that it cannot be applied near the dog’s eyes and nose, and it is not easy to apply it on hairy areas.

Anti-allergic drugs: Of course, it is best if you can go to the hospital to prescribe medicine for your dog, but if it is inconvenient to go to the pet hospital, you can also choose to give your dog some human anti-allergic drugs. If your dog is a golden retriever, For dogs with a relatively large weight, you can compare the dosage with children. If it is a puppy such as Teddy, then reduce it by half. If it is a Chihuahua, then reduce it by half again. In short, the amount of medication given to dogs must be conservative, which is safer.

Finally, if there is no obvious improvement after taking the medicine for 30 minutes, the possibility that the dog does not have skin allergies is very high, and it is best to take the dog to see a doctor as soon as possible.
