PET SYMPTOMS
Allergies are highly common in humans as well as our pets. These allergic reactions can be mild or severe enough to require medical attention. A pet which displays this allergic reaction may develop urticaria, or hives. Hives is a sign of an allergic reaction as some form of external element has caused the immune system to over activate itself. The immune system protects pets from harmful microbes, such as parasites, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. It is a rather intelligent system since antibodies form antigens specifically for the harmful microbe while avoiding harming surrounding tissues and organs. Antibodies can also be passed down from the mother’s colostrum or first milk to a puppy. The colostrum contains the main elements to start the young dog’s immune system. In the case of an allergic reaction, however, this highly developed immune system over produces white blood cells and histamine.
Signs and symptoms of a pet with an allergic reaction include; shock, breathing difficulties, diarrhea, and weakness, itching, and swelling of the face. These allergic reactions can be caused by external elements such as dander, shampoos, sprays, fleas, or mites. In some cases the cat’s genetics can cause an allergic reaction, this form of reaction is called Eosinophilic plaque. Eosinophilic plaque refers to ulcerated lesions which appear on the abdominal and leg region of a cat. These rounded lesions are filled with eosinophils, a type of white blood cell which responds to immunity. Eosinophilic plaque is genetically passed down to new offspring and will develop in cats as early as two years old. A cat which has this plaque will develop skin erosions, reddened skin, and loss of hair, engorged lymph nodes, and raised lesions.
