Allergies

Yes awesome pets they are very friendly and live up to ten years I have 2 weiner dogs but they do get back problems.

Signs or symptoms of allrgies to wasps can include an intense itching, rash, swelling, and difficulty in breathing or swallowing, hoarseness, dizziness, headache, and intense pain at the affected area.

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.

Yes. Dogs can be allergic to other dogs. Specially if one dog has longer hair and is outside often. It puts pollen onto the dogs coat and if the dogs play together or lick each other the pollen causes allergies.

you cant really be "allergic", but i get your meaning. yes. it is a chemical reaction specificlly designed to keep blood unclotted, and as a chemical reaction, it has side affects, such as the bumps you get that always itch. but how does this affect European cars? is there one made of mesquitos? and if so, were you dumb enough to buy one?

People who are allergic to dogs are allergic to two aspects of the dog: their dander, and their saliva. Though Westies shed very minimally, especially if they are brushed and groomed regularly, if you are seriously allergic to dogs, you might not be able to live with the little bit of dander, and the saliva.

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.

Some ferrets do suffer from allergies, the most common are food allergies (causes digestive problems) and topical allergies (irritants to the skin). I've haven't read anything about ferrets being allergic to other animals, but it's possible.
no, ferrets are not allergic to cats normaly, but like humans, as well as other animals, they can have/get allergies, i have 2 ferrets, 2 cats, two dogs, and a bird.......no problems with any of them :)

Only if it has rabies. Normally cats bite people, but they don't usually have rabies.

Well...i belevie u can if it wass lyke super super deep and u can bleed to death.. but hey who kno's..lol ~lil miss~

Antihistamines are chemicals that block the effect of histamine, in varying ways. Most antihistamines act on the H1 receptor. Physiologically, antihistamines stop the histamine reaction, and may also induce drowsiness.

Very much so, my brother is. I'm not sure exactly what it is that causes it, but I do know that the hairs are very fine and get onto the face, which is where the problem starts.

Dogs can be allergic to nuts. You should not give your dog macadamia nuts, walnuts and pistachios. They are toxic to dogs.

a short hair dog will cause you less problems than a long hair dog. i'd ask an allergist to find out for sure.

Depending on which i would say that yes because they do not shed but sooner or later you will need to brush them... So maybe take it to the groomers.

I would definitly check for a sting,scatch or bite marks on the nose, also check for any signs of allergic reaction. Mild reactions include: fever, sluggishness, and also loss of apetite. Moderate reactions include: hives, rapid swelling, redness and extreme itchiness. Sever reactions include: vomiting,diarrhea ,staggering, rapid drop in blood pressure, swelling of the larynx, cardiovascular collapse or death. BUT IT MIGHT ONLY DIE IF IT IS VERY VERY BAD I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE VETS.

Yes, a childrens Benedryl is safe to give. But the dog should be taken to a veterinarian if there is swelling, the dog is lethargic, painful, not wanting to eat or drink, or if the stinger is still embedded.

No.

OK ... It is time to get out of the "Old Wives Tale" age. Both of the above statements are incorrect as written. Dogs can be allergic, not to grass so much as to the grass pollen. It is, indeed, one of the more common allergens. Eating grass does not in any way fix or help contact dermatitis or any other allergy. It should, however, be treated per your vets instruction. Left untreated it can degenerate to worse, and can be most uncomfortable for your dog. Eating grass is something dogs do .... they just like it. It has nothing to do w/ the stomach hurting, or any other illness. Not to say they won't puke it up, but I have two dogs who nibble regularly, esp oat grasses which are quite sweet. They don't vomit it back up. They are both healthy, active and never bored. My third dog is not interested in grass. Maybe he is the odd one?

the only thing i am sure of is that your face cannot puff up because of cats. if you

really are allergic to cats, then get a black one. most people arent allergic to black

cats as much as they are with any other. also you can get a Siamese cat.

If a bee has left its stinger in the skin, remove it (this may require tweezers). If the person who was stung has a bee allergy, he or she may suffer from anaphylactic shock and will have to be treated with an epi-pen (which hopefully they carry as a precaution). Otherwise, it's not that serious.

Obviously a person will not be aware that they have a severe allergic reaction (i.e. anaphylaxis) to a sting until they are stung for the first time - so they will not have an epipen. Symptoms are any or all of: difficulty breathing, increased pulse rate, face flushed &/or swelling, nausea.

If you suspect anaphylaxis then do not hang around wondering whether it will pass: phone for an ambulance immediately and tell the despatcher the problem.

Meantime keeping the patient's airway open is critical. As long as they are able to breathe, lay the patient down with their legs raised 45 degrees - as for any case of shock.

Poodles and Morkies. I live with a Morkie named Cookie.(Morkie-Maltese, Yorkie) Cookie is the cutest dog in the world and is actually on Prozac! I have allergies and asthma and he does not bother me. Very cute, a hybrid, sweet, and hypoallergenic. I highly recommend a Morkie!

There are some breeds of cats which are allergy-friendly.

Allergies to cats are set off when you around cats because cats groom themselves right? Yeah, and in their saliva are special enzymes which create allergies to some people, and some breeds have less enzymes in their saliva. So If you groom your cat regularly, or get a certain breed of cat with less enzymes in its saliva, you should be good.

Additionally, over the counter antihistamines can help stop the allergic reaction before it starts. Claritin, Allegra & Zyrtec are all available at your pharmacy. One must take these daily & regularly as a preventative measure if a cat is in the home. If you are visiting someone with a cat, you can take the antihistamine within a few hours of the visit to ensure it has gone into your system.

If the reaction is bad, Benedryl is really the best solution (liquid works faster should you need it). Benedryl is a short acting antihistamine (usually about 4 hours) and will make you drowsy or even put you to sleep. However, it has pretty good results in combating a mild reaction.

Note: If you have a severe reaction (anaphylaxic shock) you should call 911 immediately.

Sort of. There's something called allergen immunotherapy that gradually gets your immune system "used to" the allergy proteins produced by ... well, any source, really. It's a long process that's almost never covered by insurance, so unless you really REALLY want a cat, and one of the hypoallergenic varieties won't do, and you've got money to burn, you might be better off just not having a cat.
