Pet Allergies
At Warr Acres Animal Clinic in Oklahoma City, OK, we offer comprehensive allergy testing and treatment for pet allergies.
Understanding Pet Allergies
Pet allergies can manifest in various ways, including itching, scratching, sneezing, watery eyes, and skin irritation. These symptoms can be caused by a variety of allergens, including pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander. Identifying the specific allergen triggering your pet’s symptoms is essential for developing an effective treatment plan.
Allergy Testing and Diagnosis
Comprehensive Allergy Testing
Our veterinary team utilizes advanced allergy testing techniques, including blood and skin allergy tests, to identify the specific allergens triggering your pet’s symptoms. By pinpointing the allergens triggering your pet’s allergic reactions, we can tailor a treatment plan to effectively address their individual needs.
Accurate Diagnosis
Once we have identified the allergens affecting your pet, we can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options. Our veterinarians will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your pet’s allergies and helps alleviate their symptoms.
Treatment Options for Pet Allergies
Allergy Immunotherapy
Allergy immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots, is a highly effective treatment option for managing pet allergies. This therapy involves administering small amounts of allergens to your pet over time, gradually desensitizing their immune system and reducing their allergic response.
Medications
In addition to allergy immunotherapy, we may prescribe medications such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, or allergy relief medications to help alleviate your pet’s symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Environmental Management
Managing your pet’s environment can also help reduce their exposure to allergens and minimize allergic reactions. This may include regular bathing, vacuuming, and using air purifiers to remove allergens from your home.
When to Seek Treatment for Pet Allergies
If you notice signs of allergies in your pet, such as itching, scratching, or respiratory symptoms, it’s essential to seek veterinary care promptly. Untreated allergies can lead to secondary skin infections, discomfort, and a reduced quality of life for your pet. Our veterinary team can help identify the underlying cause of your pet’s allergies and recommend appropriate treatment options to manage their symptoms effectively.
