Treating Skin Allergies in Dogs Resolving the Itching and Scratching for the Allergic Dog

Skin allergies in dogs are probably one of the most frustrating and difficult scenarios to treat. Allergies by nature are recurrent problems, so affected dogs need to observed closely for signs of itchiness and started on appropriate medication as soon as symptoms become evident.

Skin allergies in dogs have a cumulative effect. Allergic dogs may do well when only one of the allergens they are sensitive to is present in the environment. (Allergens are compounds which produce an allergic reaction.) However, when another allergen is added, the dog's tolerance level may be surpassed and itchiness may occur.

Another simple task that can make a big difference for dogs with skin allergies is frequent bathing. Many medicated shampoos have compounds in them that are aimed at soothing injured skin and calming inflammation. In addition, the act of bathing the dog can remove allergens from the hair coat of the dog which may contribute to skin allergy flare-ups.
Bathing can be problematic when using topical flea prevention medications. Though most of the topical flea prevention medications claim to be water-proof, many veterinarians feel that the efficacy of these products is diminished when the animal (dog, cat, etc) is bathed frequently. Therefore, it may be advisable to consider an oral flea prevention product.


Medications Effective in Treating Skin Allergies
There are a number of medications which are commonly used in treating skin allergies in dogs. Medications commonly used in dogs with skin allergies include:

• cortisone products such as predinisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone. These medications are not without side effects so they need to be used judiciously in treating skin allergies.
• cyclosporine. This is a medication which seems to be fairly effective at reducing the inflammation associated with skin allergies and calming the immune system of the affected dog. However, the pricing of cyclosporine may be prohibitive for larger breed dogs.
• antihistamines such as Benadryl and many others. These medications tend to have a variable effect between dogs. For some allergic dogs, antihistamines work very well in controlling symptoms of allergic skin disease. For other dogs, very little effect is seen. However, antihistimines are considered to be worth trying in most cases since the side effects associated with antihistamines is much lower than with steroid medications and they are typically inexpensive medications.
• antibiotics, which are frequently needed to treat secondary skin infections.
• anti-fungal medications, which are frequently needed to treat secondary yeast infections.
