The Culprits

So, what is causing your pet to suffer from itchy skin or ear infections? Well, there is a multitude of potential culprits. 

For starters, your pet might be allergic to something. Food allergies are just as common in animals as they are in humans. So, your pet might be demonstrating an allergic reaction to something in their food. This can also cause gunk to build up within their ears, for their skin to red, or for them to constantly itch at their eyes. 

Beyond allergies, there might be a pest bothering them. You can check their skin for visible signs of pests, including eggs, bites, or the pests themselves, although some issues, such as skin mites, may not be visible as the pests may be under the skin. 

Treating The Problem

If your pet is demonstrating food allergies, there can be some trial and error here. Common food allergies include allergies to grains, corn, and soy. Basically, filler is used in inferior foods. However, allergies to rice and even certain proteins is common as well. Much like identifying exact allergies with humans, Sunrise Pet Hospital can perform skin scrapes and tests in order to identify what your pet is allergic to. Sometimes the allergies are seasonal, or they may have multiple allergies. 

Medications

Depending on the issue at hand, your pet may need medication to treat the issue. There are topical treatments that help improve the health of their skin and oral medications to help with some infections, inflammation, and other potential problems. If you live in or around Anaheim Hills, the team at Sunrise Pet Hospital is here to help identify the problem and give you and your pet the best solution possible.
