Disease Ontology ID: DDTO:0100134

Disease Description: Same as in humans. Dogs can be allergic to things they come in contact with, eat or inhale.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: One of the most severe allergic reactions is anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that may include shock, respiratory and cardiac failure, and death.Anything that can cause an allergic reaction can cause anaphylaxis, including stings, antibiotics, vaccines or other medications, and even foods. It is rare but deadly. Common signs include sudden diarrhea, vomiting, pale gums, fast heart rate, shock, seizure, coma, and death. Unlike many other kinds of allergic reactions, there is no facial swelling. Anaphylaxis is an extreme health risk. Immediately drive to the nearest vet clinic.

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: -

Treat Method: There is no real cure for allergies, but several treatment options are available, ranging from avoiding the allergen (not easy), administering special shampoos and oils, to dispensing drugs.

Breeder Advice: If you suspect your animal has a food allergy, try the following diet, which omits the common allergens implicated in both animal and human conditions: beef, wheat, milk, eggs, nuts, fruits, tomatoes, carrots, yeast and various spices and additives. If the problem clears up during the diet, then slowly re-introduce foods one at a time to find out which one or ones are causing the problem. To give the diet an adequate chance, keep your animal on it for at least two months. If your pet's condition has not improved by then, the cause of its problem may not be an allergy, or there is still an offending substance in the food.
