Allergy Season Affects Not Only Humans

Pets are not immune to the change in seasons

By Tex, Chihuahua Correspondent



 

Watery eyes, itchy ears and skin and runny noses are signs that might indicate the onset of seasonal allergies not only in humans, but dogs as well.  It's always a good idea to get checked out by your personal physician.  Taking that advice to heart, I visited my personal veterinarian, Dr. Jeff Daniels at Willingboro Veterinary Clinic.  I received a thorough exam including an ear washing and nail clipping.  The result is that my ears are "affected by not infected" by allergies and the condition was caught in the nick of time.  Dr. Daniels also prescribed some allergy medication to be taken until the allergies subside.

Unfortunately, older dogs are not immune from the same issues faced by older humans.  Considered well into her senior years at 14 years of age, CeCe is now exhibiting symptoms of urinary incontinence.  During Tex's visit to the vet, we expressed our concerns with Dr. Daniels.  Alternatives to "puppy diapers" for nighttime use were discussed and medication was prescribed to help stop the drips.
