URTICARIA IN DOGS.
Urticaria also called hives is an allergic reaction to an irritant which could be pollen, parasite,dust mites,food, chemicals or even paints or sprays.The trigger /allergen initiates a chemical reaction in the body where mast cells respond by releasing histamine,thus the dog breaks out in hives/eruptions on the body.
The allergen varies for different patients and the response time also varies with allergen. The dogs have irritating eruptions on the body that are itchy, making the dog very restless and uncomfortable. The first step is to trace/track your pet's movement prior to the irritation; check the food; is it new?
2) did you change shampoo/ lotion.
3) check for ectoparasite.
Do a check to limit exposure to the allergen and proceed to treat the dog by using a topical antihistamine agent.Natural remedies can also be effective; 1) a mix of vinegar and water in a squirt bottle and apply all over the body.
2)aloe vera gel can be rubbed on the body ,its anti inflammatory,antihistamine properties works perfectly for this condition.
When you note the allergen prevent future exposure.
