Most of these medications may cause drowsiness and should only be administered per the advice of your veterinarian.
How to Alleviate Dog Allergies
Food, insects, airborne particles and contact allergens can all cause allergic reactions in dogs. Food allergy symptoms are ear infections and paw licking and may develop suddenly. A flea allergy is a response to flea saliva and is the most common of all canine allergies. It is characterized by itchy, red bumps on your dog's bottom, the base of his tail, his belly and groin areas. Airborne allergens include pollen, mold and grass. Symptoms are usually seasonal and include face rubbing, ear scratching or infection, and paw and belly licking. Contact allergies may begin suddenly affecting the feet, belly and head.
