			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We, the people can in food allergies, pollution, dust and almost anything imaginable. Well, our wonderful family dog may be allergic to too much, and we May a certain amount of time to finally understand.<br />
The pets are that many people are allergic May zero to something, May sometimes that your pet, just stripes considerably at certain times of the year. It is possible that your dog how you can seasonal allergies. The dogs can be allergic reactions not only food but to pollen, grasses, trees, dust, chips, wool, tobacco smoke and does not believe other animals company.<br />
A dog can be an allergic reaction, just in contact with him regardless of the allergic substance is on (wool / Chip), by the inhalation of the substance (smoke / pollen), and nutrition.</p>
<p><span id="more-33"></span></p>
<p>Each dog, the bulk of his time to scratch, and where appropriate to chew on themselves for possible signs of allergy or at least a condition that causes a specific type of treatment. Constant scratching to chew and with the skin and in the longer term, the disturbance of bacterial infections. Most people believe that the constantly scrape a problem with the chips (may), but more than likely that it is an allergy inhaled.<br />
Another sign of a dog with a problem of allergies of the respiratory tract is a state of coughing, sneezing / breathing, nose or eyes of the river, and a third symptom of May in the digestive system, such as diarrhea or vomiting.<br />
There are certain breeds are vulnerable to allergies of the respiratory tract conditions than others, these dogs suffer as her husband when the air is filled with trees and grass pollen, dust, mold, grass in the small insects and molds. These breeds like schnauzers, Irish Red Setter, Boston terrier, Scottish terrier, Cairn Terrier, West Highland terrier and wire-hair wild Terriers are among the municipalities, the type of allergy air.<br />
Women for some reason are more affected than men and it usually occurs between the ages one to three years.<br />
As the dogs are tested for inhalation allergies?<br />
Diagnosis of allergies in a dog is not easy. Much is on a hit and miss basis. In addition, the thyroid is a condition could even in the picture. In order to find the perpetrators, and if the allergy is not sufficiently clear how the chips a problem or even a novel food or a dog must be quite a long and systematic diagnosis. There is no magic way to the problem.<br />
The last and most expensive, what can be done, the procedure is Hyposensibilisie specific antigen test use of injections. The price is very high, the age of the dog must be a new trial necessary May in the future and the success rate is around 50 percent, what about the success noted in the examination of the man.<br />
What kind of treatment can be to solve the problem?<br />
The dog May, omega-3 fatty acids, gamma-linoleic acid and / or of certain vitamins and minerals, natural anti-inflammatory. Natural anti-inflammatory and, with vitamins and omega-3-fatty acids is usually a good first attempt to help the symptoms.<br />
Antihistamines and other therapies, a job to do, but often the dog a bit groggy. Any kind of steroid drugs should be used only as a last resort. The use of steroids, as well as the additions and antihistamines control allergies, but is not a treatment of suffering and he is back.<br />
Corticosteroids by itching reduce the inflammation of reconciliation, but there are side effects, which can cause problems. Not only because of she Thirst Increased appetite and an increased need for urination and behavioral disorders, it can lead to diabetes, lack of resistance of the infection and a tendency to seizures. It should be used as a last resort and only for short periods.<br />
Shampoo for novel therapies that work, in some cases, such as bathing with hypo-allergenic shampoos were many dogs. It seems that certain allergens can be found on the skin and the frequency of Baden reduction of exposure.<br />
The dog swimming with Epsom salts or colloidal oatmeal also give a temporary relief and must so often. Be careful with ointments and sprays, are not recommended by your veterinarian, they contain substances.<br />
Antibiotics can be used if the dog was bite, scratching and chewing on the skin. The constant irritation creates opportunities for the bacteria to cause infection and antibiotics should be used around the controls.<br />
There are vaccines for dogs as for the people they work, but they are slow and can be expensive. It is said they work about 70 to 75 percent of the time.<br />
The environmental allergies can be treated, as well as possible, the air conditioning in your house can use the threat of allergens in the air outside conicity customs Dehumidifiers can mold problem. A clean air with a HEPA filter will reduce dust and pollen within the household.<br />
An important thing in mind, if you have a dog with severe allergies and drag it held, please do not do that. You have just in a situation to add is not just other dogs, a problem that the owners, which they love.<br />
How can you manage the problems of allergy?<br />
The chips are not breaking the soil problem that they were several years ago with the sky, the invention of the introduction of chips on the products have the headache to ban chips. We have the most going for our company pets and chips, is sufficient, with your veterinarian to see which product is best that you on your pet.<br />
The diet is an allergy to dogs, but do not believe it is only 10 to 20 percent problem. A food allergy is rarely fatal, but it can be boring. The constant itching can cause serious bacterial or fungal infection. If the allergy caused gastro-intestinal tract you to vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss.<br />
An allergy to food from your dog eats caused not two, there will be a problem cause itching, or a gastrointestinal problem. The biggest problem is the itch, which in turn means not only you and your dog miserable, it creates a very unpleasant search dog.<br />
Some breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Schnauzer and West Highland White Terriers are the thoughts of veterinarians, to a higher risk of food allergies, although this has not been formally.<br />
Protein is usually the fault of the biggest causes of food allergies among dogs. The main sources of protein, beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey and eggs. Since we all need proteins in the context of our daily diet, it is difficult to eliminate from your diet of the dog. A food allergy season lasts until her face to show ugly, unless it is a novel food, which recently added by the pet food.<br />
Determine what the food is the cause of the problem, especially if you&#8217;re like me, and offer a mix variety of foods for your pet, he needs time, patience and diligence. It is important that the dog to be a hypo-allergenic at least 4-6 weeks. Hypo-allergenic diet consists of proteins, which was predigested in very small pieces, so that the immune system does not recognize that it is there. These foods can not be bought with your veterinarian and is fairly expensive. Besides the special food, the whole family must be aware that the dog is not the food or other treats, while the 4-6 weeks in progress. Now we can really challenge for the research in these big brown eyes.<br />
Itching should gradually disappear, while the dog is on a diet if the itch is gone and the dog again. Then, what a challenge and requires patience, you restore the dog to their diet and see what happens. If itching starts again, it is back on the special diet until the itch came back, and then you start your dog in other foods, a.<br />
This means that regardless of your dog usually have to eat your food at once, and for a response. It several weeks for a response to the presentation and during this time you should not feed the dog totally different thing, but the food (not treated in the food or the table). If it does not cause a problem if it quite sure that the food is correct, then add another of your dog and the nutrients go through the same process. Your veterinarian can advise you on the best way to do this, it is also the food intake hypo-allergenic, too.<br />
Allergies in dogs can also be difficult because your dog can not only suffer from a food allergy, but also an allergy if inhaled. The secret here is to be found guilty, the cause of the problem for your dog and the long term, and hopefully it ever end. That is no problem that you alone can not solve the problems with allergies have with your veterinarian to ensure that from the first character for an itching, ask your veterinarian to be. Your dog will enjoy.</p>
