What symptoms do you get from absorbable vicryl suture allergy?

Although a true allergy is not that common, there are people who have a terrible reaction to the sutures. I had surgery on my cervical spine last year . Surgery went great, no complications, no real pain... three weeks into my recovery, woke up with a really red suture site, with a small abcess...culture positive for MRSA. Antibiotics, more blood work,and pain. Three months later, finally stopped the antibiotics; not helping. Woke up with an abcess the size of my index finger and unable to touch my neck. Drove 2 hours in snowstorm to see surgeon in ER. CTscan,bloodwork, cultures still no reason. Turns out that it wasn't a true abcess, they're calling it a granuloma, and I am highly allergic to vicryl sutures. Another two months and finally starting to feel a bit better. Only problem: they need to do a 2nd fusion and plating in a few months... they just can't figure out how to close up the incision afterwards. My point is, no doctor, nurse, PA, FNP knows your body like you do, if something is wrong, keep looking for the answer. There is nothing wrong with a 3rd, 4th, or 10th opinion.

Do some dogs have fur that don't set off allergies?

Some dogs cause more problems than others. But, it is not usually the fur or coat that causes the allergic reaction, it is more often the proteins in the dander (dandruff) and in the saliva (and sometimes urine) of the dog. Poodles and poodle mixes are often good choices for allergy sufferers. See the related question below.

Yes, it can get worse especially if your diet is not strict enough.
