Does Your Pet Have Allergies?

• Does your pet scratch, chew, bite or lick itself excessively?
• Does your pet have any hair loss?
• Does your pet have acne, scabs or hives?
• Have you noticed excessive discharge from the eyes?
• Are your pet’s ears waxy or inflamed?

If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, your pet may have allergies.  Dogs and cats don’t react to allergies the way people do.  While humans sneeze, cough and clear their throats, pets usually suffer in silence.  The cause can be anything from fleas to mold, pollen, dust, or even food. The smallest exposure to an allergen can set off a major allergic reaction. If left untreated, allergies can lead to bacterial skin infections, yeast infections, painful ear infections, and even skin damage.

 The doctors at Eads Animal Hospital would like the opportunity to examine your pet and help you find a solution to his/her discomfort.  If you suspect your pet may have allergies, please call 867-PETS for your appointment and present an allergy coupon to one of the staff members at Eads Animal Hospital when you come in for your allergy exam.
