Treating Pet Allergies - Dermatology at BluePearl

Your dog is scratching, scooting, and shaking her head. Is it just an itch or is it an allergy? Itchy or infected skin are common problems that BluePearl dermatologists treat. Finding the cause of your pet's allergy is the tricky part while food allergies and environmental allergies need to be isolated to determine the cause of the allergic reaction. Once diagnosed, a vaccine is created - unique to each pet's needs.
Ear infections are commonly associated with allergies as well. While an ear infection can be treated, a repetitive infection is most likely due to an underlying cause such as an allergic reaction, endocrine disease or autoimmune disease.
Unfortunately, there is no "silver bullet" when it comes to pet allergies. Treatment is more focused on managing the allergens your dog or cat is exposed to. Once the allergies are under control, your pet can finally stop itching as much and get back to being your snuggle buddy.
