Pet Allergies and Vet Care from Our Veterinarian on Our Veterinary Team
Pet allergies cause discomfort to pets and can even cause other health problems if untreated. We at Unleashed Pet Care, serving Livonia, MI, and Westland, MI, can help treat various types of pet allergies.
Types of Pet Allergies
Pets can be susceptible to different types of allergies. Contact allergies occur when a pet's skin is exposed to allergens such as grasses, pollen, and cleaning agents. Inhalant allergies are caused by breathing in environmental allergen particles from different sources, including dust, mold, or mildew. Flea allergies are triggered by fleas. Food allergies arise when pets have an abnormal reaction to certain types of food in their diet.
Symptoms of Pet Allergies
Symptoms of pet allergies vary depending on the type of allergy. Common symptoms associated with contact allergies include itching, redness, or skin inflammation. Inhalant allergies cause respiratory problems, including coughing, wheezing, and sneezing. Food allergies present with digestive issues like vomiting and diarrhea.
Treatment of Pet Allergies
We at Unleashed Pet Care can provide pet care and treatment for pet allergies. Treatment options vary and may include antihistamines and trying to avoid contact with the allergen whenever possible. Treatment procedures might depend on the severity of the symptoms and the pet's overall health status. Our team will help recommend the most effective and appropriate treatment procedure based on a personalized approach.
Prevention of Pet Allergies
Pet allergies might be unavoidable, but pet owners can help reduce the risks of allergies in several ways. One way is by maintaining a clean environment-regular cleaning the pet's bedding, grooming, and vacuuming. Pet owners can also choose to feed their pets with allergy-free food. Flea prevention measures should be taken, including flea treatments, especially during flea season. Lastly, pet owners can get regular check-up appointments for their pets to help detect any underlying health conditions early or allergy symptoms they might not be noticing.
