Dog Allergy

How Can You Tell If Your Dog Has Allergies?

The Different Types Of Dog Allergies

The usual procedure to diagnose your dog's allergy is to first determine if the dog allergy is a food allergy.

If that is not the case, the dog is checked for a
flea allergy.

If that is negative, you have to determine if the dog allergy is a contact allergy.

If the dog allergy is not a contact allergy, your pet is tested for a bacteria allergy.

When the above dog allergies have been ruled out, it is determined that your dog has an Atopy-Inhalant-Atopic Dermatitis allergy

Dog Allergy - Food Allergy

A 'Food' Dog Allergy

"Food Sensitivities" is a more fitting term for what dog owners think of as 'food allergies'. A food sensitivity shows up as flatulence, stomach problems, vomiting, intestinal problems and diarrhea. A food sensitivity is often accompanied by an ear infection.

A Food Allergy is a reaction of your dog's immune system that shows in the skin. A food allergy will show as a skin irritation and scratching. Most often proteins are what the dog is allergic to. Proteins such as Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb, Fish, Eggs, Milk, Soy, Wheat, Whey, and Corn can cause an allergic reaction to your dog, in either home cooked meals or commercial dog foods.

Dr. Lowell Ackerman, a veterinary dermatologist, recommends home-cooked diets when food allergies or food sensitivities are suspected. Lamb and rice used to be the combination of choice, but most premium dog food companies now have a lamb and rice diet, so hypoallergenic diets of fish and potatoes or venison and rice have taken their place.

Any protein source that your dog has never been exposed to can be a hypoallergenic diet for them, when mixed with rice or potatoes. Some protein examples are fish, lamb, rabbit, or venison.

To create the diet, all ingredients should be boiled and served to your dog in the same volume as their normal diet. The ingredients are mixed 1 part protein to 2 parts of either rice or potatoes.

This diet is not to be fed long-term. It is not nutritionally balanced to be a regular diet. It is only fed for one or two months at a time as a test diet."

When trying to isolate a food allergy or food sensitivity, the dog must not get anything but the hypoallergenic diet. If the dog tolerates the food well and the symptoms decline or disappear, other foods can be gradually reintroduced to determine which protein ingredient caused the allergy or sensitivity. If the dog allergy or sensitivity symptoms are not alleviated in four weeks, another hypoallergenic diet can be tried.

Common veterinary practice for a food sensitivity or food allergy is to put your dog on a hypoallergenic diet, and they may perform Intradermal Skin Testing. They may prescribe a Steroid Drug, or a NSAID, and an Antihistimine. If your dog also has an ear infection, they will prescribe an Antibiotic.

Dog Allergy - Flea Allergy - Flea Allergic Dermatitis

An Allergy To The Flea

Dog allergies to fleas are not caused by the flea itself, but from the flea's saliva. Common signs of flea allergies is chewing at the base of the tail and inside the hind legs, hive-like lesions, scabs, and sores. Dogs with a flea allergy are often frantic to ease the itching and may chew themselves raw.

A flea allergy tends to begin between the dog ages of 3 to 5. Of course, the first treatment for a flea allergy must be to rid your dog, home, and environment of fleas.

Common veterinarian practice is to administer a chemical toxic flea product that can damage your dog's immune system. Please read my page Flea Control for a safe and effective way to kill fleas on your dog and in your home and environment.

Common veterinarian practice could also include Intradermal Skin Testing and Steroid Drugs, along with Antihistamines, or a NSAID, plus Dog Allergy Shots, and recommend a Medicated Shampoo.

Dog Allergy - Contact Allergies - Contact Dermatitis

The 'Contact' Dog Allergy

This dog allergy shows on the dog's skin as swelling, redness, small pus filled welts, itching, and hair loss.

The dog is allergic to something that touches the skin, like: flea collars, plastic food bowls, other plastics, detergents, fabrics, plants, grass, bedding, and topical antibiotics.

Simple treatment includes systematically removing the products you can, (flea collars, bedding, plastics, fabrics, etc.)

The common veterinary practice if your dog is still showing symptoms of an allergy after removing all the products possible, is to prescribe a Corticosteroid Cream, if there are welts on the skin, a NSAID, or a Antihistamine, or a Steroid Drug, plus Intradermal Skin Testing, and you could always opt for Dog Allergy Shots.

~Expect to see the side effects in your dog for each treatment used below~

Dog Allergy - Bacteria Allergy

The Bacteria Dog Allergy

A dog's skin normally harbors Staph (Staphylococcus) bacteria. If the skin is normal and the dog's immune system is normal, Staph causes no problems. Your dog is more likely to develop a bacteria allergy if it is in other ways unhealthy, or if it has other allergies.

Signs of a bacteria dog allergy include hair loss that is often round and 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter, red blotches on the skin, and possibly the development of pus pockets filled with fluid.

Common veterinarian practice is to do a blood test, prescribe the Antibiotic Cephalexin and the immune stimulant shots of ImmunoRegulin. Veterinarians may also prescribe a Corticosteroid Cream, or a Steroid Drug, or a NSAID. Veterinarians will also instruct you to give your dog baths with a Medicated Shampoo.

The lesions will usually clear with Antibiotics but return as soon as the antibiotics are discontinued. With continued use of antibiotics, dogs become resistant to the antibiotics, and the Staph-allergic dog has recurrent infections.

Dog Allergy - Atopy Allergies or Inhalant Allergies - Atopic Dermatitis

Seasonal dog allergies due to an Atopy/Inhalant dog allergy tends to begin between ages 1 and 3. After several years, the duration of the dog allergy period extends, and your dog is excessively chewing, licking, and scratching nearly all year round.

Signs of the a Atopy/Inhalant dog allergy include: excessive chewing, licking and scratching at the face, paws, abdomen, armpits and genital area. This excessiveness can show in lighter colored dogs as reddish-brown stains in those areas due to the excessive licking. An Atopy/Inhalant dog allergy is associated with certain areas of your dog's body: The areas are around the eyes and mouth, the armpits, the abdomen, around the anus, the legs, and the dog will develop an ear infection.

The common irritants for Atopy/Inhalant dog allergies are: trees grass and weed pollens, human dander, grasses, dust mites, molds, house dust, feathers, and pollen ragweed. Any airborne particle can potentially become an irritant.

Common veterinarian practice is to test for this dog allergy with an Intradermal Skin Testing, then prescribe either a Steroid Drug, or a NSAID, and a Antihistimine. You may also choose to give your dog Dog Allergy Shots. The dog's ear infection will warrant a prescription for Antibiotics. You will also be instructed to bathe them with a Medicated Shampoo.

Other Skin Problems That You May Think Is A Dog Allergy

Hot Spots You May Think Is A Dog Allergy

Pyotraumatic Dermatitis is commonly known as Hot Spots. Hot spots are surface skin infections caused by dog allergies, poor grooming, or behavioral problems.
Dogs most susceptible to hot spots are: those with heavy coats, a history of allergies, a history of ear infections, a history of flea infestations, dogs with irritated anal sacs, and dogs that are not groomed. But any dog can develop this infection.

Dogs with behavior problems may mutilate themselves by licking, encouraging an infection to become established. A bored, stressed, or lonely dog can mutilate themselves, resulting in Hot Spots. They need more exercise, playtime, and attention.

Dog hot spots will show on the legs and feet, flanks, and rump. Hot spots will also show on the ears, neck and chest if the dog is continually scratching.

Dog Hot Spots are generally circular patches that lose hair, can be swollen, may exude a smelly pus, and can be painfully itchy, causing the dog to scratch, lick, or bite to the point of self-mutilation.

Common veterinarian practice is to use Antibiotics, with Antihistimines, and Sterioid Drugs, plus bathing with a Medicated Shampoo.

Autoimmune Diseases You May Think Is A Dog Allergy

The common causes of a Dog Autoimmune Disease are:
The unrestrained use of vaccinations, overdose of cortisone, commercial diets, allergies, and high doses or prolonged use of conventional prescription drugs.

All of these factors cause the dog's immune system to become weak, increasing their vulnerability to more diseases and infections.

Lupus Erythematosus is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the connective tissue with multiple conditions. Typical signs and symptoms of Lupus Erythematosus include fever, weakness, abnormal fatigability, and skin lesions on the face or neck or arms.

Erythema is another autoimmune disease that shows as an abnormal redness of the skin. Erythema Multiforme is red rash caused by hypersensitivity to a drug, disease or another irritant.

Pemphigus Foliaceus, an autoimmune disease in which skin breakdown causes thin blisters to appear mostly on the face, nose, lips, and ears; and by large thin-walled blisters that ulcerate and form crusts. The crusts bind to the skin underneath and can spread through out the body, leading to de-pigmentation of the skin.

VKH is a rare autoimmune disease that causes loss of pigment in lips, nose, and eyelid margins and the whitening of facial hairs. The eyes can be affected, and your dog can become blind.

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis is an autoimmune disease that leads to disintegration and shedding of dead tissue. This is a severe and painful condition in which blisters and ulcers form on the skin, mucous membranes and footpads.

Common veterinarian practice for autoimmune diseases are to suppress the dog's immune system with Steroid Drugs, which increase the possibility of infections. Medicated Shampoo is also recommended.

Mange You May Think Is A Dog Allergy

The 3 Types Of Mange:

are Demodectic, Cheyletiella and Sarcoptic. Mange is caused by different species of mites. A dog with mange can have signs that are very similar to those with autoimmune diseases, bacteria infections, flea allergies, and contact allergies.

Demodectic Mange affects puppies from three to 12 months old. The demodex mite is commonly present in the pores of puppy skin and usually does not cause symptoms. It is not certain what causes the mites to activate, but when they do activate, the mites produce a substance that lowers the puppies resistance, then they multiply. Signs of Demodectic mange: infestation starts by thinning of the hair around the eyes, mouth, and front legs. Then the puppy has patches of hair loss approximately one inch in diameter. If not treated, it can develop into hair loss on the puppies head, legs, and body. The skin becomes is sore, crusty, and oozing. Common veterinarian practice is to control the mites with Ivermectin,(Heartgard) with instructions to bathe with a Medicated shampoo.

Cheyletiella mange affects puppies, and is highly contagious, but short lived because the mite dies after leaving the host puppy. Signs of Cheyletiella mange is a dandruff dusting that occurs over the puppies head, neck, and back, causing a mild itching. Cheyletiella mange is also known as walking dandruff.

Sarcoptic mange is also known as scabies. This mange can seriously debilitate an affected animal. and even cause death. Sarcoptic mange is contagious to canines and humans. Signs of sarcoptic mange are crusty ear tips, intense itching, and hair loss, particularly on the ears, elbows, legs, and face in the early stages. Later on, the hair loss spreads throughout the body, and the skin will have oozing sores. Common veterinary practice is Ivermectin (Heartgard) to kill the mites, a Steroid Drug, and Antibiotics, plus Medicated Shampoos. The Collie breed has a severe reaction to Ivermectin.

The Side Effects Of All These Dog Allergy Medicines and Common Veterinary Practices

Dog Allergy Shots Side Effects

Allergy Shots

Allergy Shots are staph antigen injections that are given 1x daily for 5 days, then 1x weekly by you for a period of several years. The purpose of the antigen shots are in the hope of reprogramming the dog's immune system to be less reactive to the Staph bacteria.

Dog Allergy Shots Facts
You are instructed, and have to give your dog the allergy shots yourself.

In the Atopic/Inhalant Dog Allergy, 25% of the dogs will not respond to an allergy shot.

All allergy shots take 6 to 12 months to begin working.

25% of dogs receiving allergy shots will require the steroid Prednisone or Dexamethasone periodically.

Antibiotics Used For Dog Allergies And Their Side Effects

The 2 Most Commonly Prescribed Antibiotics Used As Allergy Medicine for Dogs

Cephalexin is not approved for use in animals by the Food and Drug Administration but it is prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label. If a dog is already sensitive to allergy or vomiting from other cephalosporin drugs or penicillins, cross-reaction with cephalexin is possible. Side effects of Cephalexin include vomiting, diarrhea, and a compromised immune system. Cephalexin is not effective against infections caused by parasites, mites, viruses or fungi. Dogs become resistant to Cephalexin's usefulness with continued use.

Griseofulvin side effects include: upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea or loose stools, thirst, fatigue, dizziness, thrush/yeast infection in the mouth, and confusion. An allergic reaction to Griseofulvin may occur with side effects of difficulty breathing, swelling tongue, a closing of the throat, and swelling face. Griseofulvin causes liver damage and compromise the immune system. Griseofulvin makes the skin sensitive to sunlight. Griseofulvin cannot be used in conjunction with Phenobarbital, anticoagulants, or vitamins. Adding 50 IU of vitamin E per day was reported to increase blood levels, so blood levels must be monitored. Griseofulvin is not well absorbed unless it is given with a fatty meal. The usual instructions are to give the tablets with a small amount of high-fat food, such as a rich canned dog food, fat from meat trimmings, or some cream. Some dogs cannot tolerate even a small fatty meal. So be sure to let your veterinarian know if fat consumption has caused a problem for your dog.

NSAIDs Used For Dog Allergies And Their Side Effects

Steroid Drugs Used For Dog Allergies and their side effects

2 Steroids are commonly prescribed as allergy medicine for dogs.

Prednisone (Prednisolone generic),

and Dexamethasone.

Prednisone side effects and Dexamethazone side effects are very serious and harmful. Even if these 2 dog medicines are used for a short period of time, their side effects are:
1. Renal (Kidney) disorders.
2. Abnormal thirst and urination levels.
3. Excessive hunger, fluid and weight gain.
4. Insatiable diet.
5. Increased blood sugar.
6. Decreased resistance of infectious diseases (because they suppress the immune system).

Prednisone and Dexamethazone side effects that occur after a considerable period of usage are:
1. Ulcers in the digestive tract.
2. Pain and inflammation in pancreas.
3. Diabetes.
4. Degeneration of muscles
5. Unpredictable change in behaviors and mood swings.
6. Thinning of the skin.
7. Liver changes

If Prednisone and Dexamethazone is continued for more that a week it can affect the normal functioning of the adrenal glands permanently.

This results in a dependency on the drug, since the dog's body is unable to create its own natural corticosteroids.

The most dangerous Prednisone and Dexamethazone side effect is hyperadrenocorticism in dogs. Also known as Cushing's disease, this condition is caused by an overdose of these drugs.

Corticosteroid Creams Used For Dog Allergies And Their Side Effects

Corticosteroid Creams contain an anti-inflammatory steroid.

These cream based medications all contain either
Hydrocortisone,

Flunisolide,

or Fluocinonide.

Hydrocortisone cream is not approved for use in animals by the Food and Drug Administration but it is prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label drug. Side effects of Hydrocortisone include stomach ulcers, muscle weakness, liver damage, behavioral changes, increased appetite, increased thirst, weight gain and dull hair coat. Never use this drug with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). As with other Glucocorticoids, Hydrocortisone should be not be given to animals with fungus infections, liver or kidney impairment or stomach ulcers. If hydrocortisone is used for an extended period of time, the dog should not be abruptly taken off the medication. Weaning over several weeks to months is crucial to avoid severe adverse effects, such as vomiting or profound weakness or insufficiency of the adrenal glands. Hydrocortisone is also available in an oral tablet, and as an ingredient in shampoo.

Flunisolide cream side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, nasal congestion, upper respiratory infection, decreased appetite, edema, fever, Candida infection, dizziness, nervousness, shakiness, chest congestion, runny nose, sinus congestion, sinus drainage, sinus infection, sinusitis, sneezing, sputum, wheezing, eczema, itching, rash, ear infections, loss of smell or taste, malaise, hypertension, tachycardia, anxiety, depression, faintness, fatigue, hyperactivity, hypoactivity, vertigo, pneumonia, blurred vision, earache, eye discomfort, eye infection, liver damage. Flunisolide should be avoided in animals with fungus infections, liver or kidney impairment or stomach ulcers.

Fluocinonide (lidex cream) side effects are skin thinning and discoloration, itching, burning, redness and swelling, liver damage. Fluocinonide should be avoided in animals with fungus infections, liver or kidney impairment or stomach ulcers.

Antihistimines Used As Allergy Medicine For Dogs - And Their Side Effects

Antihistiamines are administered by your vet as a series of 4 different drugs for 2 weeks each

Some veternarians recommend using a Steroid Drug or a Corticosteroid Drug to supress your dog's immune system so that the Antihistimine can work better.

Only 30% of dogs put through this series of 4 antihistimines will be successful for relief of a dog allergy.

The odds that one individual antihistimine will give relief to a dog is about 15%.

Atarax,

Benadryl,

Chlortrimaton,

and Tavist are the most common antihistimines used in the series.

Hydroxyzine (Atarax) Hydroxyzine is one of a number of different antihistamines that may be used in dogs as a part of treatment for atopic dermatitis. Hydroxyzine is effective for 6-8 hours in the dog. Each antihistamine drug should be given a 7 to 10 day trial before trying a different one. Hydroxyzine may need to be combined with a corticosteroid. Atarax side effects are sedation, excitement, fine tremors, whole body tremors, and seizures. Overdose may cause increased sedation, and possible hypotension.

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) Side effects of Benadryl for dogs include drowsiness, dry mouth, urinary retention, vomiting and diarrhea. Benadryl overdose symptoms are seizures, extreme drowsiness, coma, respiratory depression and death. Do not use Benadryl in animals that are allergic to it or other antihistamines. Do not use in animals with glaucoma, prostate disease, urinary obstruction, and high blood pressure. Do not use in pregnant or nursing animals. Use with caution when given with other depressant drugs such as tranquilizers or barbiturates.

Chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton) is used for contact, inhaled or drug induced allergies in dogs and cats. Side effects of Chlor-Trimeton include drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, dry mouth, and urinary retention. Chlor-Trimeton overdose symptoms are excitement or seizure, drowsiness, coma, respiratory depression and death. Do not use chlorpheniramine when it is in combination with other medications such as acetaminophen or caffeine such as found in various cold and sinus products. Do not use in pregnant or lactating animals. Do not use in patients with glaucoma, prostate disease or urinary obstruction, stomach or intestinal obstruction, high blood pressure or hyperthyroidism. Use caution when given with phenothiazines such as acepromazine and other central nervous system (CNS) depressant medications. Chlorpheniramine should not be used with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) such as selegiline and Preventic tick collar. Use caution when given with metoclopramide.

Clemastine (Tavist) Clemastine is not FDA approved for use in animals; however, it is a commonly accepted practice for veterinarians to use this medication in dogs and cats. The side effects of Tavist are sedation, paradoxical hyperactivity, and dry mouth. Tavist overdose symptoms are dry mouth, blurred vision, rapid heart rate, urinary retention, fever and possibly hypotension. This medication should not be used in animals allergic to it. Use with caution in patients with prostate and bladder conditions, severe cardiac failure and glaucoma. Use with caution when given with sedatives or tranquilizers. Use with caution when given to pregnant or nursing animals.

ImmunoRegulin Used For Dog Allergies And It's Side Effects

ImmunoRegulin is a synthetic immune stimulant administerd to animals that have a severely impared immune system that may not respond to other methods. The effects of ImmunoRegulin have not been studied in pregnant animals. Use with caution when pregnancy is known or suspected or when a known or suspected cardiac condition exists. ImmunoRegulin side effects include a minor rise in temperature, chills, temporary loss of appetite, or sluggishness a few hours after the injection. Do not use with glucocorticoids or other suppressors. Steroid therapy should be withdrawn at least seven days before initiating ImmunoRegulin. ImmunoRegulin is administered four times in the first two weeks at 3 or 4 day intervals, followed by one injection per week until symptoms abate or stabilize. Maintenance dosages once per month are suggested.

Ivermectin (Heartgard) Used For Mange, And It's Side Effects

Given that the National Poisons Control Centre is regularly contacted about Ivermectin (Ivomec®, Heartgard®) intoxication in dogs, they would like to emphasize the warning of Nap et al. (4) that the use of Ivermectin in companion animals, and especially Collies and Bobtails, is not without risk.

Heartgard overdose signs include stumbling, tremors, blindness, disorientation or weakness, and shock. Signs of overdose will generally occur within 12 hours of receiving the drug.

Heartgard is a commonly used large animal dewormer but it has been used to treat mites in dogs for several years now. Ivermectin (Heartgard) treatment is generally given orally, but the drug can also be injected under the skin. The use of Heartgard to treat mites in dogs has not been approved by the FDA.

Given the above statements about Heartgard, why not check out my page for a better alternative for Heart Worms

Medicated Shampoos Used For Dog Allergies And Their Side Effects
