I have a cat and have allergy problems partly related to this. I've discussed it with my doctor and there was no permanent 'cure' that he could recommend. But taking Allegra or Claritin for general allergy problems will work for pet Allergies as well. In a severe case you can keep your pet outside, thus limiting your exposure and preventing pet dander and hair from becoming a household problem.
I am severly allergic to all animals including my 2 dogs, my horses, and everything else you can think of. I take Clariton every day which helps ALOT! I also bought Allerpet from my vet. I rub this on my dogs coat once a week and I can pick her up and hold her and I won't start sneezing. It's really great stuff for people who are allergic to their pets. It comes in two different kinds, one for dog allergies and one for cat allergies.
I have severe allergies to most animals with fur basically. I did go through the desensitization for cats and it worked. I used to break out in hives all over my body, the throat would swell up I would have Asthma attacks and have what felt like extreme hay-fever. No tablets helped with this but the round of injections that went for a year or so did help and I no longer have the allergies. I have been allergy free for cats for 12 years now. It doesn't work for everyone though!
We started our yellow lab, Fargo, on desesitization shots about a year ago. I am very frustrated. He used to lick his paws until they were sore and he would limp. Also, his ears were frequently infected. Steroids worked like a miracle but since they're not recommended long term, we decided on desentization. Well, it seems like, instead of being very miserable in the spring and fall, he is now somewhat miserable all year long. I'm not sure whether to continue or not. When they tested him, they found him to be allergic to all kinds of plants, trees, as well as cats, wool, etc. I don't believe these shots work well and they are very expensive and you have to give the dog a shot every 3 weeks. I should have known because I've always heard that people who get tested for allergies are allergic to almost everything...what's the point???
yes and no.It depends if it has any main allergies to rose hip.It is possible to gain any allergies no matter what you are.
Immunotherapy, also known as desensitization or allergy shots, alters the balance of antibody types in the body.
A Saluki Dog is a good choice for people with allergies. This breed of dog does suffer from allergies themselves.
The first treatment is to remove the allergen, if possible. If it can't be removed, there are topical shampoos and antihistimines available to treat dog allergies.
Yes, the American Eskimo Dog is prone to skin allergies
yes A dog can catch a cough just like you and me and it possible for a dog to have variety of respiratory issues too and if hes coughing for the later week you my want to take him/her to a vet.
Yes a dog can have seizures from allergies
You can get a dog that is not bad for alergies.
It's perfectly possible. Allergies can extremely specific, and range from dogs to cats to even electricity (believe me there was such a case in Boulder, Colorado)
"Desensitization" typically refers to the process of reducing sensitivity or responsiveness to a stimulus over time. This can occur in various contexts, such as behavioral therapy to treat phobias or allergies.
Yes, it is certainly possible. My brother used to have terrible allergies as a child. Now that he is an adult, he rarely gets allergies to anything.
There is actually no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. Poodles do not shed, and this helps with allergies. It is still possible to be allergic to poodles, though. If the poodle is mixed with a shedding dog, the dog may shed. It just depends on what dog the poodle is bred with.
