Spring Allergies and Hay Fever in Pets
Filed in archive Hay Fever by ruth on April 26, 2006

Veterinary Pet Insurance, a health insurance provider for pets, says conditions like otitis externa, an ear infection, and atopic dermatitis, a skin rash due to inhaled allergens, are relatively common in dogs. VPI based its report on an analysis of claims data from 2005.
According to insurance claims, here are the most common allergies dogs suffer from:
- Otitis externa, 14.2%
- Atopic Dermatitis, 14.1%
- Secondary pyroderma, 5.2%
Cats, although they suffer fewer allergies, also get asthma in addition to otitis externa and atopic dermatitis.
What I'm curious to know, however, but which the report did not mention, is whether there are medications specifically for our canine
and feline friends. Oh well, at any rate, they say it is never a good practice to share medications, anyway.Permalink: Spring Allergies and Hay Fever in Pets
