Pet seasonal allergies are one of the many conditions treated here at Trinity Pet Hospital in Laguna Hills, CA. These allergies can lead to uncomfortable symptoms and even asthma attacks if left untreated. If your pet is suffering from the effects of seasonal allergies or asthma, our veterinarian can determine the cause of its symptoms and provide effective relief. We are here to tell you about the causes and symptoms of seasonal allergies and asthma and how our veterinarian can treat them.
The causes of seasonal allergies in pets often mirror those seen in humans. Allergens like pollen, mold, and grass can trigger allergy symptoms in your pet. Fleas and ticks are another frequent cause of allergy symptoms in pets. Asthma attacks can also occur due to seasonal allergens like pollen and mold. Other frequent causes of asthma in pets include:
• Dust
• Household cleaners
• Aerosol sprays
• Cigarette smoke
• Perfumes
• Other fragrant materials
Unlike humans, pets often experience allergy symptoms in their skin. Pets dealing with seasonal allergies will typically show signs of skin irritation and excessively scratch or lick their paws, ears, and behind the tail. Severe seasonal allergies may result in hair loss, ear infections, and respiratory issues like sneezing, coughing, or wheezing.
Although seasonal allergies and asthma can present similar symptoms, asthma attacks often result in breathing and respiratory issues rather than skin problems. Your pet may experience shortness of breath, persistent coughing or wheezing, and panting when having an asthma attack. Severe asthma can result in a lack of energy and bluish gums.
Your veterinarian will conduct a pet examination to determine the cause of your pet’s allergies and asthma. They can perform a blood test or use skin samples to identify the allergen causing your pet’s symptoms. Treatment for allergies often includes a topical cream or spray to alleviate skin reactions or an antihistamine for respiratory symptoms. Your veterinarian can treat asthma with an inhaler or steroid medications to keep your pet’s airways open. They may also recommend ways to limit your pet’s exposure to allergens.
