Allergy Alert!

Many of our allergy patients are miserable right now. We typically think of allergy season as spring and fall, but August is a very bad allergy time. If your pet has begun scratching or licking more frequently please let us know. Especially, if your pet has already been diagnosed and treated for allergies.

Other signs to look for:

  • Pustules on the skin
  • Red and irritated feet
  • Flaky, dry skin
  • Red skin
  • Waxy and or red ears
  • Hair loss
What can you do to help your pet be more comfortable? Generally, we have to tweak their medication to help them get through the rough patch. Don't hesitate to call if your pet seems more symptomatic.
