Pet Allergies and Dermatology

cat scratching ears at the vet in Port Charlotte FL

Allergy-induced skin conditions are some of the most common reasons for bringing a pet to Charlotte Animal Hospital. Do you think your pet is having an allergic reaction? Itching, scratching and hot spots are all good indications of allergies. Pet allergies in Port Charlotte, Florida, are very common and treatable, but can fester and become serious health conditions if left untreated. For this reason, it is especially important for you to get your pet checked if you suspect they are suffering from allergies.

Types of Pet Allergies in Port Charlotte, Florida

  • Flea or parasitical allergy: The bite of a flea or other parasite on your dog or cat may cause an intense allergic reaction, resulting in itchy skin.

  • Food allergy: Pet foods often contain many ingredients, including preservatives and fillers. Your pet may be allergic to a particular ingredient in their diet triggering reactions such as itchy skin, diarrhea or other gastrointestinal problems.

  • Skin allergy or Atopic Dermatitis: Pets may inhale or absorb through the skin, allergens or foreign substances which can cause itching and extreme irritation. If left untreated, these irritations may lead to skin infections or injuries from excessive scratching.

Dog & Cat Allergy Symptoms:

• Itchy, red skin

• Hives

• Itchy skin

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Ear infections

• Noticeable increase in scratching

• Constant chewing or licking of paws

Common Causes of Pet Allergies:

• Tree Pollen

• Dust Mites

• Fleas

• Grasses

• Mold

• Cockroaches

• Cleaning Products

• Perfumes

• Household materials and fabrics

Allergens are present everywhere and affect pets much the same way they affect humans. They may suffer from seasonal allergies in the spring and summer or they have an allergy to chemicals or products used in your home.

Pet Allergy & Itch Treatment

Once the allergens have been identified, we develop a program to eliminate the source of the allergen in your pet’s environment.

Other options for itch relief include:

• Antihistamines combined with essential fatty acids

• Anti-itch conditioners

• Topical steroid sprays

• Oral steroids

• Anti-itch prescriptions

• Oral or injectable immunotherapy

• Evaluation by a board certified veterinary dermatologist

If you think your pet is suffering from allergies, whether environmental or diet-related, contact our staff at Charlotte Animal Hospital for questions or to schedule a consultation. Port Charlotte, Florida and the surrounding areas have especially high allergen and pollen counts in the spring and summer so do not hesitate to give us a call!
