Because allergy symptoms can affect your life. This is the story of a Labrador Retriever allergies also very happy with the competitors. It is based on an interview with Kremer met Nell.
Dog Food Eukanuba
Scrape Relief
Dog Food Eukanuba
Labby Demi is a friendly, always happy and cheerful ... or at least they used to summer at the age of 15 months. Then, just started biting and scratching. As if the itching leads mad, was rubbing and licking iterally away from their skin. Bothbeautiful chocolate-colored Labrador retrievers have lost their luster.
Dog Food Eukanuba
Demonstrated in the armpits and bare patches under his tail and self-mutilation on her face. Scratches to relieve allergy symptoms do a lot of energy.
At first it seemed as if they have a bad habit, and owners on the first try, have exaggerated scratching was something like that maybe they had really developed only after careful adolescence. Demi, she is the submissive dog obeyed and servedScratch, until it was because of his human family. But once they leave the room, they would rack up the lost time and push like crazy. Even if you woke up and his blood rushing through their veins, seemed to increase the itching.
Switch to hypoallergenic dog food
And it happened, was taken to the vet (well, not the first time of course). Showed self-mutilation and practically around the eyesno hair had survived the intense scratching. The vet checked for parasites and dental problems (and their jaws scraping), but found no problems in this area. It is therefore advisable to change their dog food by high energy prices Eukanuba Lamb & Rice, to rule out a dog food allergy. Lamb and Rice is a combination that is often prescribed as a low-allergen dog food and the reasons behind it that dogs are notbefore eating. But today, Lamb & Rice dog food not as an exotic ... more and in this case that the choice was not so happy for Demi.
Demi has a very loving owner who would sleep on the couch, while the serious consequences, just in time to reassure her. No scolding or shouting to stop getting hurt, but try to remain calm and quiet it would be prudent for the transfer (how to give Reiki, a dog). The owneritchy spots on his hands, Demi gave some relief to go. This was to avoid being maimed half of self-injury can become infected and progress (the so-called hot spots).
But they do not disappear, and she was taken to the vet again. He received a medication to relieve itching, and I thank God that was so you can sleep again. Demi poor man had had a good night's rest for a while 'and this was one of his duties, andChange their behavior and makes them more nervous. He also received antibiotics and a skin sample was taken for further research. No parasites or scabies was detected.
Allergy blood tests
The standard treatment is the desire to change the dog food for about 3-4 months and give your dog, dog food, no sweets, no snacks, no food scraps, anything. If symptoms persist, then displays a blood test. Half and, of course,qualified for the next phase. Finally, everything was clear. Check out the results below.
Half showed evidence of allergy allergies following:
* Food Allergies: rice, wheat, lamb, soy, nuts and carrots with the highest score for rice and wheat.
* Contact allergies: dust mites and flea bite allergies different
* Respiratory allergies: wheat (again), barley, corn, oats, nettle, plantain.
Half suffered from multiple allergies, such asGrass allergies, which explains the increase in allergy symptoms during the summer (like the first episode), but also a very high score, to a lesser extent, rice and lamb, as well as the main ingredients of its cd dog food hypoallergenic. That was a bad choice! With this knowledge, was immediately taken by Lamb & Rice and Duck & Potato Diet (Tovets DPD).
Allergy desensitization injections
To address theRespiratory allergies and contact for cereals and grasses, has been shown that immunotherapy. And 'to "cure" dog food allergies easier (the remedy is to simply delete the ingredients on the menu), compared to heal environmental allergies. It is often impossible to keep a dog away from the offending allergens, so an alternative to removal is necessary. It is based on the results of allergy testing is a special blend created in the laboratory desensitization Halfidentified the culprits.
Because it is weekly injections of owners have had to learn Demi injection under the skin with these fluids. This type of therapy therefore requires a particular dog owners and can be difficult, your pet (well, this is my personal experience) to be injected. The owner has received three types of fluids (red, green and blue plugs) and the amount has been fixed for a period of 6 months of treatment. There is a small risk of anaphylaxis, but it is the safestLong-term treatment. About 70% of treated dogs respond well to immunotherapy, and others show at least some relief of symptoms.
Learning to live with dog allergies
Demi is now four years and above is a happy dog. There are allergy shots (maintenance dose), it is likely that for the rest of their lives. To download the itching, that here is a bit of Nell, who works for Demi: tea tree dilutedOil in water and spray on areas imposed. It disinfects the reliefs the itching, the skin and helps the healing process of the hot spots.
What has allergies, they can occasionally ruin it again (if ever the dog biscuits or other type of treatment, wheat, like most dental sticks contains). Fortunately, Demi loves fruit and cheese, eat for sure! It can be really happy half pineapple, mango, strawberries, cucumbers, applesand pears. But she also likes a bit 'of bread, even if you are allergic to the ingredients.
Passersby on the street sometimes want to offer a dog biscuit that fur happy woman, but, of course, is strictly prohibited. And since everyone would be tired to explain, to understand the pros and cons of this decision, some people do not know why that Labrador is not allowed to enjoy a tasty treat. To eat bread for the ducks on the grass on the left is a risk for Demi. Mainlywhen walking in the dark, is not always easy to intervene in time for the owner.
If episodes of allergies worse again, then it is an official agent of prednisone injections. Antihistamines, but may benefit people with allergies to inconsistent results in dogs. This leaves us with a steroid treatment. Against the effects of prednisone can cause damage to organs and as such can reduce the life span. Well, if all else fails, you as the owner of Demi said: "BetterWell for a few years ago, when a very long period of discomfort and discontent. "
But first, it seems prednisone as a last resort, there are good results with a holistic approach in similar cases are reserved. This is a non-traditional veterinary medicine to explore the areas of complementary and alternative health care. We hope that new therapies and treatments are discovered for the prevention and treatment of our beloved pets.
What can we learn from this storyAllergy:
* Required Lamb & Rice dog food, dog food allergies induced to exclude is not a good choice in all cases.
* Dog food-induced allergies, respiratory allergies and contact allergies can occur at the same time make a clear diagnosis very difficult.
* If your dog suddenly scratching a lot, to examine the coat of fleas or other parasites, and take him to the vet if your study was negative.
* IfYour dog is suffering from an attack is relentless itching and scratching for the relief, try resting for transfer to your dog. Diluted tea tree oil can provide some relief.
* If you are a person who seems to walk a dog, as a sort of contagious disease must be fair, not fair to assume that scabies and treat them as outcasts. You can simply ask. If the other dog is suffering from allergy symptoms you should not worry. Let the dogs of dogs, ifYou want to play together. There is nothing more contagious allergies.
* Allergies cause serious problems for both dog and owner, and it makes sense to try to identify the allergens, making them as quickly as possible.
Holistic Veterinary Medicine * may shed new light on this problem when conventional therapies fail.
