Hey, Newcastle pet pals! We get it—pets can have allergies too, and they're not fun for anyone involved. At Elder St Vets in Lambton, we're here to demystify those sneezes, itches, and sniffles that might be bothering your furry friends. Let's dive into understanding and managing those common pet allergies to keep our pets healthy and happy!
Recognise the Symptoms:
Allergies in pets often manifest as itching, redness, sneezing, ear infections, or digestive issues. Keep an eye out for excessive scratching, paw licking, or red skin patches. If you notice any of these signs, it's time for a vet visit!
Managing Allergies:
Once we've identified the allergen—be it pollen, dust, or certain foods—we can take steps to manage it. This might involve dietary changes, hypoallergenic grooming products, or medication to alleviate symptoms. Our goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and itch-free!
Preventive Measures:
Prevention is the best cure! Regular grooming, a clean living environment, and a balanced diet can help reduce allergic reactions. If seasonal allergies are the culprit, wiping your pet's paws after outdoor adventures can minimize allergen exposure.
At Elder St Vets, we're your partners in keeping those allergies at bay. Whether it's identifying triggers or tailoring a treatment plan, our goal is to ensure your furry companion's well-being. If you suspect your pet might be suffering from allergies, swing by our Lambton clinic for some personalise care.
