Can you give your dog your allergy medicine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You should only do this on the instructions of the vet. They need to tell you the proper dose for your dog. Dosage must be calculated using formulas for each medicine that is based dog size, such as on milligrams per kilogram of dog weight. Don't try to do this yourself, overdoses of allergy medicines can be serious. Contact your vet first.

You will also need your vet to examine the dog to be sure the problem is allergies and not something else that needs different treatment. Other problems can cause the same or similar symptoms, such as bordetella (kennel cough), distemper is another, etc..

Can you make yourself allergic to bees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bee sting allergies occur in people who have an abnormally high sensitivity to bee stings, which cause a physical reaction. Allergic reactions to bee stings can be life threatening.

Anyone can suffer allergic reactions to bee stings. Although more people die from severe allergic reactions to bee stings each year than from snake bites, only a small number of people with bee sting allergies suffer these types of fatal reactions. Also, There are many ways you can help prevent bee stings. Don't use flowery colognes, soaps, or lotions, or wear brightly colored clothing, which attract bees. If a bee is near you, move away.

No, there is not, despite some less-than-reputable breeders advertising kittens as so. People aren't allergic to the cat themselves, but the cat's saliva, which is licked all over the cat after grooming.

Is chihuahua a good dog for a kid with allergies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Chihuahua poodles.. hmm that's a different one! I bet they are cute. I think that if your child has allergies, to dogs, you might rethink getting one at all.

Normally allergies are to the dander produced, not so much the animal.

So this breed might be better than some others. Poodles normally don't shed much, but chihuahua's do tend to leave hair behind. If you already have the dog, you might try a weekly washing routine to help in reducing dander and shedding.

What is the best shampoo for a dog with allergies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many, many brands out there. If your dog has a real problem with fleas, it may be he is getting them from your yard. When treating your pet for fleas, if you expect to keep him from getting them again any time soon, you must treat your house and yard (where he plays and goes potty). Treating the bedding is a must as well. If your dog travels in your car, guess what, this area should be treated as well. If your dog bites at himself trying to scratch a flea, he may ingest it. This can cause tape worms to grow in your dogs stomach. These are the little white "rice like" wiggly things in your dogs fresh feces. So I would suggest you apply a monthly flea preventive such as Frontline or Advantage so your dog has a better chance of not getting any kind of internal parasite. I also suggest your contact your vet.

People who are allergic to dogs are allergic to two aspects of the dog: their dander, and their saliva.

If you are allergic to cats will you be allergic to rabbits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you're allergic to rabbits you'll probably react to other furry pets as well. Typical symptoms include red, itchy, runny eyes, nose running, coughing. However this can also be caused by an allergy to the straw bedding that's commonly used for rabbits. If you think this could be the case, switch to newspaper or paper bedding.
